Apple strudels for the whole family to make and enjoy.

Salmon en croute are brilliant – part pie, part pastie, part Salmon Wellington – what’s not to like?

Inspired by the ricotta tarts made in Naples at Easter.

I made eight flavours of biscotti as Christmas gifts. A bit mad, but lots of fun. The photo shows the hazelnut, orange and chocolate, and chocolate and chocolate flavour – the rest were eaten!

‘Wow, as a lover of artichokes… this is one of my top starters!’

‘Here’s a healthy, easy Baked Cod recipe from Dad. Delicious fish on the bone that holds in all the juices, garnished with black olives and basil.’

‘Wow, this is probably my favourite dishes ever! Creamy, yummy risotto.”

‘Ah, roasted peppers, a flavour of my childhood. Well mainly peeling the peppers – but it is so worth it.’

‘How to make delicious, sweet piedmont peppers at home in less than an hour.’

‘Perhaps the most attractive looking dish of late! Perfect if you want to impress your guests to a restaurant quality meal without breaking the bank…’

‘This is the official house breakfast. Dad likes to make his own bread but that’s optional. We like Cornish Yarg, but let’s face it…’

‘Delicate and subtle white meat in a delicious fish broth, bit like the picture really…’

I found a bunch of super thin asparagus and thought they might go well with linguine. It’s such a simple combination and a great way to enjoy asparagus.
