This glorious vegetable and bean soup can be adapted to use any vegetables you have lying around, more or less — but I prefer not to include tomatoes here. The only drawback is that the soup, after all the cooking, turns out an undeniable khaki. But it tastes so good, with an almost honeyed savouriness, that it really doesn’t matter. Should you want to make this vegan, simply use more oil in place of the butter, omit the Parmesan, and shake over some flakes of nutritional yeast at the end, if wished. And please read the Additional Information section at the end of the recipe before proceeding.

The lone-dweller, in need of the balm that only a freshly baked biscuit can provide, is faced with a most unsatisfactory choice: do without or make a batch big enough to keep a huge hungry household happy. I had to put that right, and not just out of altruism, you understand. To this end, I have created a cookie recipe that answers my every requirement: deeply chocolatey, sweet but not too sweet, and sprinkled with sea salt flakes. They are the work of an easy moment, requiring no more than a couple of bowls, a wooden spoon and a spot of stirring. And while I urge you to eat one — if such urging is even necessary — when it

This is not only the best way to start the day, but the best way to end it, too. You can make it even more of a meal by serving some refried beans alongside, but I love it just as it is. It also happens to be one of the greatest hangover cures around. You know, I

This is not the first of my Mexican hot chocolates, but I feel it will be my last. You can melt chunks of chocolate (as I have in previous versions) into hot milk, but I love the particular richness and thickness you get from good Continental hot chocolate powders. Plus, I add Kahlua, so there is really no need to consider anything else. The whipped cream on top is not essential unless you decide to serve this in lieu of pudding — and — coffee, which I can

This is the perfect recipe for using leftover chicken or turkey at any time. A jicama is sometimes known as a Mexican potato, though that

I buy organic beef mini meatballs from the supermarket, which makes this extremely easy to put together, and there

It looks like a pizza, but its base is made out of meatball mixture.

The trick to these meatballs is to keep them small. Don’t actually use a teaspoon, but use about a teaspoon’s amount of mince to roll each ball. If there are children around, so much the better; they tend to like making these. But otherwise, they’re easy enough, and the slow repetitiveness of the action can be rather calming. To go with these divine meatballs, I like tagliatelle. De Cecco, Spinosi or Cipriani brands are all very good, but making fresh pasta is an experience worth trying. No one’s saying you have to make it, but once you try, you’ll soon see that it’s not difficult.

This is a sprightly curry, fierily orange and warm with cinnamon and nutmeg. Make some plain basmati rice to go with it and you’re done.
