Zabaglione
I like it with a sweet Marsala but you can use any sweet or semi-sweet wine - though you may need to adjust the quantities of sugar accordingly. Make sure the eggs and wine are of excellent quality.

Magdalene's Christmas stollen
It's a funny thing how smells can bring back so many memories - but now when I see that stollen coming out of the oven and smell the scent of almonds and spices I am transported back to my childhood.

Lamb and eggplant khoresh
Adapted from Claudia Roden's A New Book of Middle Eastern Food. This is a traditional Persian meat sauce that is gently flavoured with spices to have over plain rice, or, better still, chilau.

Peas and broad beans in lemon juice and olive oil

The warmer weather is perfectly suited to eating Vietnamese and Thai salads - tangy, fiery and pungent, and packed with fresh herbs.

Coconut chicken salad
A lip-smacking contrast of soft and crunchy; slippery rice noodles with crisp cucumber, firm peanuts and chips of chilli.
