Roasted harissa red cabbage with coriander & almond bulgur

Welcome to March

Planning ahead is one of the

Bring on spring

As the weather warms up and new shoots appear, we’re excited to get cooking with the best produce of the season

Wild garlic, chicken & leek pie

Fragrant wild garlic transforms this chicken pie into something really special. For ease, the filling and pastry can be made ahead.

Purple sprouting broccoli tempura with nuoc cham

Nuoc cham is a Vietnamese dipping sauce with a sweet, sour, funky flavour that works wonderfully with the crispy broccoli here. Using a combination of cornflour and plain flour makes for the crispiest tempura.

Crispy gnocchi with cavolo nero pesto, asparagus & peas

Making your own gnocchi is easier than you might think, and results in the lightest, cloud-like dumplings – plus, the added bonus of crispy potato skins to snack on (see my tip, below). But, if you need to get dinner on the table in a hurry, you can use a pack of ready-made gnocchi instead.

Pea, asparagus & burrata salad with mint salsa verde

This salad is busting with flavours of the new season: fresh mint, peas and asparagus. Creamy burrata is the perfect foil to ensure all that subtle sweetness and verdant freshness really stands out.

Charred spring onion, chilli & feta flatbreads

Vibrant spring onions are the star of the show here, scattered over creamy, tangy feta and soft flatbreads for a simple yet stunning lunch.
