This is what cheap olives are for

There's no real recipe for this in terms of proportions, make it how you like and adjust as you go

Easy-peasy Lemon (or orange or lime or whatever you want or vinegar for that matter) squeezy!

Ahh, it trips off the tongue but you'll never eat mint sauce out of a jar again! So is it just a posh version of mint sauce? Not really. It has basil and parsley as well as mint and can be eaten with anything: try it with fish, it is fabulous.

This is a version of Puttanesca.

A puttana is a sex worker in Italian and it is thought to have been named because it was quick and easy for people with a "busy schedule" to cook and eat between appointments.

... with Dolby Surround Sound, not Black and White

What a Pulava!

This started as a conversation with Meg about rice (I know).

Fish on toast is the best thing in the world

Well, you know...but this is fabulous!

We all just love this! Just do it!

This is the original and easiest version using shop-bought pesto. It’s really nice and easy but not as nice as fresh pesto.

Everyone thinks their recipe is the best.

But they’re wrong. This is.

Vinegary rabbit is not everyone’s thing

Umbrian Rabbit is from The Classic Food of Northern Italy (Anna del Conte). I love it but the vinegar hit, and the rabbit for that matter, are not to everyone’s taste so I’ve adapted it by using chicken instead of rabbit and wine instead of vinegar. It’s worth trying the original though.
