This soft polenta with flathead and pancetta is the simplest, most comforting weeknight dinner that everyone will love. My kids eat this, and it's one of the meals I put on the weekly rotation often simply because I know it will go down so well.

raspberry vinegar

Every time I make my own raspberry vinegar I wonder why I've left it so long between batches. I love using it, liberally, and friends and family are always happy to receive a bottle. While we're all isolated, together, it's another way to reach out, to give love somehow.

halloumi, cauliflower and crispy chickpeas with sweet raisin vinegar

Vegetarians! Carnivores! So when you roast tinned chickpeas they go all soft and chewy and dehydrated which completely transforms them and gives us a more substantial, nutty bite. And when you roast them with cauliflower and halloumi and dress it with my sour raisin balsamic it’s just the best Thursday night dinner. This is how you feed your people after these long days at home and make them amazed by what a good cook you are.

crumpets for mornings at home

Now that the supermarkets are selling out of basically everything, we're going to have to learn how to cook. Never has cooking been such a valuable skill to have - is cooking cool again?! Either way I plan on helping you out in that area. Here's a pantry staple we all need right now: comforting and rather wonderfully delicious.

profiteroles

There’s little more impressive, entertaining wise, than putting a plate of creme-filled profiteroles, drizzled entirely with dark chocolate, on the table at the end of the meal.

rhubarb vodka

They say we're drinking more alcohol in isolation. I say let's keep it moderate but delicious. And that's what this rhubarb vodka is about. A shot in a glass of sparkling water is happy hour perfection.
