Neven Maguire: Home Chef

Award-winning chef Neven Maguire returns with his new series of Home Chef, and this time the emphasis is on quick, family-friendly dishes rather than the more complex, restaurant-style recipes of his previous series.

Neven Maguire's Watermelon and Feta Salad

This recipe also works well with Galia or Honeydew melon if watermelon is not in season. You can pare it down to the essential contrasts and serve no more than a plate of chunky watermelon sprinkled with feta and toasted pumpkin seeds that gets drizzled with lime juice at the last minute. Once made, I promise you that it will become a regular favourite on your summer table.

Neven Maguire's Lamb Kebabs

These kebabs are an excellent dish to serve to the whole family or a gang of hungry teenagers. As everything gets cooked under the grill, there's the added bonus of very little washing up to do afterwards.

Oatmeal, Cranberry and White Chocolate Cookies

The inspiration for this recipe was given to me by Mary Flahavan. I like it so much that we now make it up in batches and keep them in Kilner jars in our rooms for guests - in case they're feeling a bit peckish after a long journey but don't want to ruin their dinner.

Neven Maguire's Apricot Pudding with Amaretti Custard

Neven's Apricot Pudding with Amaretti Custard

This pudding is incredibly easy to make and should take no more than 5 minutes to get into the oven. It's a great store cupboard standby, or you could use fresh ripe apricots that have been skinned if they are in season. Just make sure they are very ripe or they will not cook in the time allowed.

Neven Maguire's Asparagus Soup with Bellingham Blue and Croutons

Neven's Asparagus Soup with Bellingham Blue

Bellingham Blue has to be one of the most divine cheeses in the world. Its layers of blue-veined creaminess are both seductively rich and delicate, making it a perfect partner for asparagus. Here I've served the soup hot, but it is also delicious chilled.

Neven Maguire's Brown Scones

Brown scones are full of roughage and great for breakfast. And here is a good tip: you can make this mixture, shape the scones and freeze them. You can then cook the scones straight from the freezer to the oven - just give them an extra 5 minutes and make sure the scones are golden brown and well-risen.
