RECIPE
Crispy Tofu Pad Thai
“I am a sucker for a pad Thai. I know it’s predictable, but I can’t seem to bypass it on a menu. This version brings together all the things I love about it; crispy tofu, lots of greens, a tamarind heavy-sauce, roasted peanuts, and crispy onion, as in my mind, a pad Thai is pointless without them.” – Anna Jones

Fig, Thyme and Goat's Cheese Galette
“This galette, with a hazelnut pastry and a filling of capers and herby goat’s cheese, has become a regular at home for when I have a bag full of purple and jammy figs. I make this pretty tart with a couple of substantial salads for a summer lunch for six; it would serve four with just a side salad. Roasting the figs will bring out their jammy nature, so you can get away with using them slightly under- or overripe here.” – Anna Jones

Mellow Confit Garlic Frittata with Gremolata
“Don’t be shocked by the amount of garlic used here: it makes more than you will need but keeps really well in the fridge for months, and once you have used all the cloves, the mellow oil is a quick addition to pastas, pizzas and dressings. I like to use a cast-iron pan – I find it provides a nice even heat. If you have wild garlic to hand, replace the confit garlic and spinach with a couple of handfuls of the leaves, wilting them as you would the spinach.” – Anna Jones

Pea and Coconut Soup
“When I am hungry, impatient and have nothing in the fridge, this vegan soup is the recipe I turn to. To be really speedy, the pan you use is important; a small, deep saucepan will mean your soup won’t come to a simmer quickly, so I suggest a deep, wide one – cast iron is ideal. If you don’t have spring onions, a normal onion will do fine; you may just need to cook it for a little longer.” – Anna Jones
