Swede speltotto
Spelt has a nutty flavour that goes very well with earthy root vegetables. Roasted wedges of pumpkin or beetroot work brilliantly in place of the swede, but instead of adding at the beginning, stir in the diced flesh of the roasted veg just a minute or two before the speltotto is finished.
Upside-down onion tart
This is now a favourite ‘cupboard’s-bare’ recipe, shown to me by my friend Sarah Raven. With just two ingredients – onions and puff pastry – you can produce, in a short space of time, something rather smart and very tasty.
Mushroom risoniotto
Risoni (or orzo) is a tiny rice-shaped pasta with a unique charm. There’s something deeply satisfying about its texture, and it’s quicker and easier to cook than rice. Here, it’s combined with a rich mushroom ragout for a warming autumn or winter dish. Use a dark and flavoursome variety of mushroom, such as chestnut, open-cap or field mushrooms, and include a few wild mushrooms if you have some to hand.
Summer stir-fry with egg-fried rice
It’s best to prepare all the ingredients for this lovely, green dish before you start cooking. Once the wok is on the go, it’s all ready in a matter of minutes. You don’t have to serve the stir-fry with the egg-fried rice – plain, steamed rice or a couple of nests of quick-cook noodles will do.
Pasta with greens, garlic and chilli
Wilted greens combined with a hearty portion of pasta and spiked with garlic and chilli make a satisfying supper. The following variations on that theme are equally delicious, sustaining and easy to put together.
Vegetables with Garlic Butter.

Fennel and celeriac soup with orange zest.
This velvety, gently aniseedy soup is given warmth and definition with a touch of orange zest. The rich-but-sharp crème fraîche added at the end balances it all out nicely.
