Pea, Mint and Avocado Salad
In How to Eat I wrote about my Great Aunt Myra’s Pea, Mint and Avocado Salad, which we all considered rather fabulously exotic when she came up with it in the Seventies. I’ve tinkered with it over the many years since, and this – give or take – is the version I make now, and I make it often. When I say “give or take”, it’s simply because I don’t always use the same mix of salad leaves (though I do like it to include a few curling pea shoots if possible) and don’t expect you to either; I’ve given rough amounts in the recipe so you have an idea of how much is needed, but even then, you can freestyle as wished. While there’s nothing to stop you adding some cold chicken, prawns, feta or goat’s cheese to turn it into a main meal, I generally serve it as a side salad, though when I wrote about it all those years ago, it was, indeed, as a starter. I’ve utterly given up on starters since then. By the way, I find it very much easier to get the peas-a-steeping in the dressing in advance and then add the leaves and avocado at the last minute. I should add that the beauteous salad in this picture is actually still waiting for a final toss with the last bit of dressing in the mixing bowl: I didn’t want the leaves to wilt while it waited for its close-up!

Pappardelle With Butternut and Blue Cheese
This is one of those welcoming, big-bowl suppers, perfect for feeding friends cosily. Soft, oniony cubes of squash are answered by the salty, sharp and pungent cheese; a little sage breathes its necessary but not overbearing bitterness, and the waxy, scorched pine nuts give quiet crunch, a hint of nubbliness, to this meltingly gorgeous concoction.

Ginger and Walnut Carrot Cake
This is very different from the richly sweet, loftily layered and aerated American original. While it is in some senses far more reminiscent of an old-fashioned, slightly rustic English teatime treat, it is, with its ginger-spiked cream cheese icing — only on top, not running through the middle as well — just right to bring to the table, in pudding guise, at the end of dinner, too. Before you chop the amber dice of crystallised ginger, rub the cubes between your fingers to remove excess sugar. Then chop them finely, though not obsessively so: you want small nuggets, not a jammy clump. And, for what it’s worth, I find it easier to crumble up the walnuts with my fingers, rather than chopping them on a board.

Burnt Onion and Aubergine Dip
I get many requests for this decidedly brown dip of silky savouriness, the first recipe in my chapter A Loving Defence of Brown Food in Cook, Eat, Repeat, so creamy that you would never guess it’s actually dairy-free and, indeed, vegan. True, anyone in the habit of changing nappies regularly might not find it the most appetising of sights, but one taste of it — full of rich, deep smokiness — and even those not immediately attracted come back for more. I’ve called it a dip, but actually it lends itself as well to a spread on toast or a sauce for pasta; in this latter case, you’ll need to mix in some of the starchy pasta water when you toss the pasta with it, and I like to add some chilli flakes and a little extra squeeze of lemon, too. But as a dip, it is luscious, and if I have a lot of people round, I serve the Beetroot and Chickpea Dip and the Coriander and Jalapeño Salsa alongside; the pink, green and muted ochre like tonally-tinkered-with traffic lights on the table. But it’s a sensational solo act, so there is no need to add anything alongside save for some tortilla chips (if you can get blue corn ones, I urge you to) or whatever else you want to dip into it. If you don't have a baking tray large enough for all the aubergines and onions and need to use two, then be prepared for the cooking time to be longer, and swap the trays around in the oven after about 40 minutes. And if at all possible, I recommend using 3 aubergines as stipulated below, rather than say 2 that come to the same total weight. Obviously, if that choice isn't open to you, it does work with 2, but you will need to cut them into long quarters.


Corn Fritters with Smoked Salmon, Feta and Watercress - Chef's Pencil
The crispy fritters not only make this dish a little more substantial but they also make a brilliant compliment to the smoky salmon. The peppery watercress and the tartness of the vinaigrette are perfectly rounded out with the soft creaminess of the fetta. This dish is also a great dish to be a little creative with, think of any other meat or fish that would go well with corn and substitute it for the salmon. Roquette (arugula) also makes a great substitute for the watercress. I know you’ll enjoy this recipe and I hope you enjoy making your variations of it even more.
