  Baked sweet potato with chilli, mozzarella and basil

  Sweet potatoes are lovely roasted, as the juices caramelise slightly where you prick the skin. They won’t look much from the outside, but when you split them open the flesh will be a vibrant orange and so tasty.

  Proper chicken caesar salad

  With my own versions of the classics, like Caesar salad, it's not about changing things entirely; it's about respecting the original while bigging up the flavours and textures where I can. My twists for this salad are to use chicken legs, smoky pancetta and lovely rustic croutons to suck up all the juices. It's a lovely little salad with just a hint of attitude.
