Mulled Fruit Trifle - 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!

Duck Confit with Savoy Cabbage and Red Onion Sauté - Confit is a traditional French way of cooking duck. The method is centuries-old - first the meat is cured in salt, then poached in its own fat. Be prepared that this special recipe does take a while, but it's definitely worth it. You'll need about 1 litre (1¾ pints) of duck fat, available from your butcher or larger supermarkets. If you don't have enough, combine with peanut oil or chicken fat, or just use either of those instead.

The Raspberry Plate - This is a signature dessert that has been on the menu for years but is constantly evolving. It was originally given to me by my good friend Neil McFadden. I just love the combination of shortcake and cold buttermilk pudding, and it’s a great dessert for entertaining, as there is a lot that can be done in advance.

Steak Sandwich with Chilli Butter - Here's an idea for something a little bit different the next time you fancy a steak. This steak sandwich with chilli butter is so delicious that it's hard to believe how little time it takes to prepare.

Warm Pear Cake with Frangipane Butterscotch Sauce - Look out for authentic Greek filo pastry for these tarts. If you can, buy it in a 275g packet, which is the perfect amount for the recipe.

Catalan Crème Pots - This is actually quite a light pudding that has all of the flavour of caramel without any of the sticky sweetness. It’s actually very simple to make and benefits from being made well in advance
