Fried Courgettes Flowers Filled With Fresh Ricotta Mint & Honey

These sweet, creamy and crispy blossoms are one of my all time favourite suppers, and are at their best with wild honey — do use the wild stuff, it makes a world of a difference to the flavour of the dish.

Prawn Cocktail

Sweet, juicy prawns bathed in a piquant sauce and served on a bed of crisp lettuce – you have to admit, this does sound like heaven! Prawn cocktail is one of those retro dishes that got a bad rap in the eighties (like chicken kiev), because of the many poor restaurant variations, but it is so good if you use the right ingredients.

Asparagus Mimosa with Crispy Pancetta

This zingy asparagus dish is the roast of the town! I tend to find that asparagus works best when the dishes are straightforward and uncomplicated. Here, I simply bake it, then give it a little something extra with a dressing of lemon, shallots and Dijon mustard.

Irish Pub Chowder

I grew up eating lots of smoked fish and this chowder is one of my favourite ways to cook with smoked haddock. The delicious smoky flavours infuse the creamy soup — and the sweetness of the corn in adds a ray of sunshine. Make it in big batches so that you can freeze it for later.
