Plums always make the perfect accompaniment to cakes, as they add moisture and are loaded with flavour. This is another of my favourite recipes.

Zucchinis are in season and I have fallen in love with them again. This frittata is simple, tasty, really healthy and makes a great lunch or light dinner.

This classic combination celebrates the new season’s sticky, fragrant garlic perfectly.

Dinners like this are great as they are informal and a great way to catch up over the holiday season, writes Alison Lambert.

I love a good toastie, and why not load it with healthy, flavoursome greens?  Good-quality bread is a must and a punchy cheesy filling is essential.

Simple combinations like this just work. It is almost souffle-like in texture and taste and works well as a lighter dinner.

These are made with coconut water, which is hydrating, and no added sugar or nasties, so are perfect for our hot summer months.

This time of the year is all about using what is at hand.  I used wilted greens, cos lettuce and lots of sweet spring onions to get this nourishing, fresh tart.
