Leek, Apple and Onion Gratin

This can be prepared up to 4 hours ahead, left at room temperature and then cooked

Stuffed Peppers with Courgette and Goat's Cheese

These Romano peppers taste the same as bell peppers and look stunning roasted. Serve with green salad and crusty bread

Mixed Bean, Hazelnut and Herb Salad

You could add grilled goat's cheese to this salad to create a perfect light summer supper

Sichuanese Cucumber Salad

This pretty salad has a lively sesame-scented dressing with a mildly hot sting. If you feel energetic, make it by chopping it on a board, or simply blitz it in a food processor.

Baked Stuffed Peppers

The peppers in this dish are filled with orzo, a small rice-shaped pasta, also known as kritharaki or risone, which gives it a lovely texture

Roasted Vegetables

Cooking vegetables in this way concentrates the natural sugars to create fruity, caramel flavours. Add some salty capers or anchovies, if liked, to offset the sweetness
