Carrot,Coconut & Cumin Soup (6)

A recipe from Peter Gordon’s ” The Sugar Club Cookbook” which can also be served chilled on a sunny day.

Scallops with Sweet Chilli Sauce (4)

This is one of the signature dishes from the London Sugar Club which can be found in The Sugar Club Cookbook. There will be chilli sauce left over which you can keep in the fridge to use with other dishes. Ideally you want scallops with their corals if you can get them.

Roast Cauliflower Curry (4)

This is a recipe for cauliflower i could happily eat most days. Its from “Weligama”, a book of recipes from Sri Lanka, by Emily Dobbs. You can use a Romanesco head instead of the cauliflower if wished.

A variation is to make cauliflower spiced rice. Whizz all the ingredients apart from the herbs and nuts in a blender and cook by tossing in hot oil. Serve as an alternative to rice.

Asparagus and Cashew Stir Fry (2)

The first of the english grown Asparagus is now starting to appear in the shops and I am always looking for new ways to cook it. This is a super quick supper from Anna Jones that you can serve with rice or noodles. Make sure everything is prepared before you start frying.

You can replace the asparagus with some purple sprouting broccoli for a variation.
