Sweetness and smoke are at the fore of these summer salads

Every family has them. Recipes that are a carefully guarded secret, lovingly handed down from one generation to the next. Their value to a family is immeasurable. Which is why it requires a very special relationship to share them with an outsider, let alone an entire airline.

Parkin is a northern English cake, rich in oats, dark with treacle and gently spiced with ginger.

Belgian beef stew carbonnade flamande is a firm winter favourite of mine. Steps such as caramelising the onions, braising with a dark ale and finishing with mustard and brown sugar add layers of complexity to a standard beef stew. It’s utterly delicious and made even better by serving over buttered noodles. The best…
1 whole cauliflower, florets and peeled stem roughly chopped

I was in my early 20s, had just moved to Italy and there I was, in a Tuscan villa, learning how to make an artichoke lasagne.

I’ve given my old faithful roast pumpkin salad the boot in favour of this jazzed-up version. It’s a stellar combination of flavours and looks so festive. Pomegranate molasses gives the dressing a lovely tart-sweet edge. But if you can’t find it, a similar amount of balsamic glaze will work just as well.
