This is one of the most popular starters in the restaurant, where I sometimes use a chicken mousse with crab as an alternative filling. Packets of wonton wrappers can be found in specialist Asian stores or on the internet. They normally come in packets of about 40, so you can freeze the remainder.

This is a very speedy supper that literally takes no time to prepare. Use any type of curry paste that is available or a heaped teaspoon of mild curry powder would also work well.

A classic combination of autumn berries with a crumble topping. I just love making this in autumn when there are still plenty of berries around.

This is a very filling soup that is actually a recipe of my mum's that we have been making on and off in the restaurant for years. Use the very best quality fish and shellfish for the best flavour

You can substitute the plaice with skate, sole, brill or prawns depending on what is available. Served with a Lemon and Chive Mayonnaise

I use a blowtorch to melt and glaze the brûlée sugar topping until it caramelises, but blowtorches are not for the faint-hearted!

We often put this on our Sunday lunch menu when lamb is in season, as it’s a delicious cut of meat that offers good value. We have just started growing broad beans, which I’m very excited about. A little goes a long way and they add an extra dimension to the rosemary jus.

This simple dish uses only the creamy white part of the scallops, but don't let the corals, or roe as they are also known, go to waste.

My Mum always made this trifle for special occasions when I was growing up. I just loved helping - especially with the cleaning of the bowls - and it definitely inspired me to be a chef. At Christmas I like to decorate the top with pomegranate seeds to make it sparkle like jewels!

This ginger and soy sauce is also fantastic with roast duck, pork or chicken, but I just love it with the peppered monkfish. If you want to make it into a more substantial dish, simply serve with plain boiled rice.
