Spicy Recipes
Not just curries, but also more delicately spiced recipes from Eastern Europe, Thailand and the Caribbean all contribute to a spicy theme.
Makes six 1 lb (350 ml capacity) jarsSpiced Damson Chutney
There are chutneys and chutneys, but this one is simply the best of all. It is something I couldn't live without, having it permanently on my shelf. I love it with cold cuts, with cheese, but best of all, sausages and jacket potatoes - dipping crisp,
Serves 2Linguine with Mussels and Walnut Parsley Pesto
For me, mussels are still a luxury food that cost very little money. I don't think anything can match their exquisite, fresh-from-the-sea flavour. In this recipe every precious drop of mussel juice is used, which gives a lovely, concentrated flavour.
Makes five 1 lb (350 ml capacity) jarsSpiced Pickled Agen Prunes in Armagnac
It's great to have a jar of these pickles in the cupboard to serve with cold meats or pates, but I think they also make a wonderful accompaniment to Crisp Roast Duck with Confit of Sour Cherries.
Serves 4Poached Chicken Breasts with Morel Mushrooms, Cream and Parsley
Mushrooms and cream are meant for each other and combine beautifully in this sumptous chicken recipe - perfect for serving to friends during the autum months.

Serves 6 as a starter or 4 as a main courseChickpea, Chilli and Coriander Cakes with Marinated Red Onion Salad
These are served at Norwich City Football Club and are always enjoyed by vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. They can be made in advance, if entertaining, and are a brilliant way to incorporate healthy pulses in the diet.
Serves 4 as a starterTunisian Aubergine Salad with Coriander and Yoghurt
This is my adaptation of an Elizabeth David recipe. I never actually made it from her book, but one of my favourite restaurants, Chez Bruce, in Wandsworth, London, regularly serves it as a first course. It's so wonderful I never have anything else if
Serves 1Chicken Tikka Kebab
These are little chicken kebabs, marinated in a spicy yoghurt mixture for several hours – after which they almost melt in the mouth!
Serves 1Boboutie
This just goes to show you can make something really special with ordinary minced beef. The recipe comes from Africa, but seems to me to have an interesting mixture of European and Oriental overtones.
