From a spicy beef and eggplant soup (page 24), to the perfect roast pork belly with root veggies (page 120); from a wild rice pilaf (page 156) to hot chocolate zabaglione (page 200); you’ll find over 90 recipes that are designed to bring out the everyday gourmet in you.

8 kaffir lime leaves

300g white fish fillets such as whiting or John Dory, cut into chunks

Make the cucumber relish. Mix the coconut or rice vinegar, sugar and water in a small pan. Heat gently, stirring constantly until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool.

2 tbsp Thai red curry paste 1 egg

2 tbsp Thai fish sauce 1 tsp sugar 2 tbsp cornflour

1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander 50g green beans, thinly sliced vegetable oil, for deep-frying

Separate the pickled garlic into cloves. Chop the cloves finely, along with the ginger, and place in a bowl. Add the cucumber batons and shallots, pour over the vinegar mixture and mix lightly. Cover and set aside. Reserve five kaffir lime leaves for the garnish and thinly slice the remainder. Put the chunks of fish, curry paste and egg in a food processor and process to a smooth paste. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the fish sauce, sugar, cornflour, sliced kaffir lime leaves, coriander and green beans. Mix well, then shape the mixture into about twelve 5mm thick cakes, each measuring about 5cm in diameter.

For the cucumber relish 4 tbsp coconut or rice vinegar

50g sugar 4 tbsp water 1 head pickled garlic 1cm piece fresh ginger, peeled

Heat the oil in a wok to 190Â°C or until a cube of bread, added to the oil, browns in about 40 seconds. Fry the fish cakes, a few at a time, for about 4â&#x20AC;&#x201C;5 minutes, until cooked and evenly brown. Lift out the fish cakes and drain them on paper towel. Keep each batch hot while frying successive batches. Garnish with the reserved kaffir lime leaves and serve with the cucumber relish.

1 small swede, weighing about 500g

1 onion

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Cut the vegetables into 2cm cubes and stir them with the oil in a roasting pan until evenly coated. Pour in 300ml water.

1 parsnip 2 carrots

1 tbsp olive oil 1.5kg piece pork belly, well scored 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves or 1 tsp dried thyme

sea salt flakes and ground black pepper

Sprinkle the pork rind with thyme, salt and pepper, rubbing them well into the scored slashes. Place the pork on top of the vegetables with the skin side uppermost. Put the pork and vegetables into the hot oven and cook for 30 minutes, by which time the liquid will have almost evaporated to leave a golden crust in the bottom of the pan. Add 600ml cold water to the vegetables in the pan. Reduce the oven to 180°C, and cook for 1 hours, or until the pork is tender and the juices run clear when the centre of the meat is pierced with a sharp knife. Check during the final 30 minutes to make sure the liquid does not dry up completely, adding a little extra water if necessary. If the crackling is not yet crisp enough, increase the oven temperature to 220°C and continue cooking for another 10–20 minutes, adding extra water if necessary. With a sharp knife, slice off the crackling. Serve it with thick slices of the pork, some vegetables and the golden juices spooned over.

Drain the chickpeas, rinse under cold water and set aside. Melt the butter in a large flameproof casserole or pan and fry the lamb and onion for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lamb is just browned. Add the chopped tomatoes, celery leaves, herbs and spices and season well with ground black pepper. Cook for about 1 minute, then stir in the water and add the green lentils and the soaked, drained and rinsed chickpeas. Slowly bring to the boil and skim the surface to remove the froth. Boil for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat and simmer very gently for 2 hours, or until the chickpeas are very tender. Season with salt and pepper, then add the vermicelli or pasta shapes to the pan and cook for 5–6 minutes until it is just tender. If the soup is very thick at this stage, add a little more water. Beat the egg yolks with the lemon juice and stir into the simmering soup. Immediately remove the soup from the heat and stir until thickened. Pour into warmed serving bowls and garnish with plenty of fresh coriander. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the soup.

Coconut crème caramel 4 jumbo eggs

4 egg yolks 50g caster sugar 600ml coconut milk toasted slivers of coconut, to decorate

For the caramel

150g caster sugar

Preheat the oven to 160°C. To make the caramel, heat the sugar and 5 tbsp water in a heavy pan, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil and, without stirring, let the mixture bubble until it is dark golden and almost like treacle. Pour the caramel into an ovenproof dish, tilting the dish to swirl it around so that it covers the bottom and sides – you will need to do this quickly. Put the dish aside and leave the caramel to set. In a bowl, beat the eggs and egg yolks with the caster sugar. Heat the coconut milk in a small pan, but don’t allow it to boil. Then gradually pour it on to the egg mixture, while beating constantly. Pour the mixture through a sieve over the caramel in the dish or individual ramekins. Set the dish or ramekins in a bain-marie. You can use a roasting pan or wide oven dish half-filled with water. Place it in the oven for about 50 minutes, or until the custard has just set, but still feels soft when touched with the fingertips. Leave the dish to cool, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or overnight. To serve, loosen the custard around the sides using a thin, sharp knife. Place a flat serving plate over the top and invert the custard, holding on to the dish and plate at the same time. Shake it a little before removing the inverted dish, then carefully lift it off as the caramel drizzles down the sides and forms a puddle around the pudding. Decorate the custard with fresh grated coconut and mint leaves, and serve.
