Sweet, juicy prawns bathed in a piquant sauce and served on a bed of crisp lettuce – you have to admit, this does sound like heaven! Prawn cocktail is one of those retro dishes that got a bad rap in the eighties (like chicken kiev), because of the many poor restaurant variations, but it is so good if you use the right ingredients.

The sweet layers of the strawberry jam balanced with the soft whipped cream in between the light orange blossom spongecake layers is such a gorgeous mouthful of summer. And, I have to admit, it is quite fabulous to see the reaction on the faces of friends and family when I bring this hero spongecake to the table. Smiles all around!

Who doesn’t love fish and chips! Growing up in Ireland it was always the treat on a Friday night, served in newspaper, eating it on the pier. I don’t live by the sea now and so it’s become something that I do at home when I miss my other home, Ireland. The batter is light and crisp (make sure theoil is very hot), chips are crunchy and floury on the inside (I like a maris piper) and a homemade tartare sauce that you can make in under 5 minutes. Hello Friday

This is the ultimate fast, no-fuss, but incredibly good supper. The tuna just takes 2 minutes to cook, so make sure you do that at the last minute. The rest is really a case of popping the potatoes in a saucepan and leaving them to cook. The dressing with the added squeeze of wasabi brings it to life! If you want something else alongside, I suggest cooked purple sprouting broccoli or green beans or raw fresh radishes or very thinly sliced fennel

You can also use chicken, beef, prawns or hearty vegetables such as aubergines, courgettes or tofu. It freezes well, so I double the recipe and freeze half for when I want a day off cooking.

I love making this dish during the spring because it’s so light and fragrant. During the remainder of the year, I simply replace the wild garlic with other fresh herbs that are in season, such as basil, mint, or oregano. I sometimes add grilled fish, shrimp, or chicken to this dish for a weekday one-course suppe
