“Kimchi and egg fried rice. Cook 200g of basmati rice in the microwave, fry some ginger, garlic, spring onions and crushed Sichuan peppercorns in sesame oil, stir through the hot rice, scramble an egg in the corner of the pan and fold through. Turn off the heat, add some chopped kimchi and season to taste.”

“Kimchi and stilton omelette – pour three beaten and seasoned eggs into a hot frying pan filled with foaming butter, briefly stir with a spatula, then leave for 45 seconds so the underside sets as you cover one half with kimchi and stilton, eventually teasing the other side over, then rolling the omelette onto a plate.”

“Cook some sliced leeks in a little butter with a pinch of salt over a medium heat until soft and bright green (but not catching), then add a splash of apple juice, a couple of tablespoons of cream, a grating of nutmeg and a load of grated cheese, pile onto thick toast and grill until bubbling.”

“Seafood makes me the happiest, so a dish like fregola sarda, with prawns and mussels on top – it’s made by slowly cooking fregola (stirred constantly like a risotto) with a rich, roasted prawn stock, tomatoes and garlic, then making it extra-creamy with a big knob of butter and adding a squeeze of lemon at the end.”

“Pork chops marinated in five-spice powder, light soy sauce, oil and black pepper, air-fried for 20 minutes until the crackling is crunchy and the pork tender.”

“Gazpacho with no garlic, so it can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Blitz 500g tomatoes (picked from the greenhouse), 1 mini cucumber (topped and tailed only), 2 tbsp of red wine vinegar, 2-3 tbsp of extra-virgin olive oil and a pinch of sea salt for 2 mins. Serve with an ice cube or two from a glass, with a bowl of hard-boiled eggs, peeled and roughly cut, covered with a slurp of extra-virgin olive oil, salt and black pepper to add to the soup.”
