This wild garlic soup, takes me right back to the forest where I picked the herb. I have added a topping of roasted almonds and sheep’s cheese for added texture and contrast. Hazelnuts, brazil nuts or pine nuts work too.

These two dips are so easy to whip up and both only take about 10 minutes to prepare. Serve them as I have here on a platter with lots of delicious seasonal vegetables.

The delicate peppery taste of the pea shoots alongside the crispy smoky pancetta, sweet peas and creamy goat’s cheese is divine – or try using watercress instead. The dressing lightly scented with orange is my favourite with this salad, but if you are fonder of a lemon dressing, then simply replace the orange with a lemon. I recommend doubling up the dressing recipe, as it will last for up to two weeks in the fridge.

If you have locally grown organic asparagus and good-quality bread, this is possibly going to be one of the most delicious combinations you have ever experienced. If you are in any way nervous about making hollandaise sauce (like most of us), then you will love my foolproof recipe!
