Method

Turn the grill on to medium-high. Score the chicken breasts in a criss-cross fashion, rub with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper and the finely grated zest of 1 lime. Place criss-cross side down in a cold 26cm non-stick ovenproof frying pan and put it on a medium-high heat, while you peel and finely grate the garlic into a bowl. Squeeze in the juice from 1½ limes, stir in the peanut butter and loosen with enough water to give you a spoonable consistency. Finely slice the chilli, then mix (as much as you dare!) through the sauce, taste and season to perfection.

Flip the chicken over, spoon over the sauce, then transfer to the grill, roughly 10cm from the heat, for 5 minutes, or until gnarly and cooked through. Finely grate over the remaining lime zest, then drizzle with 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil. Serve with lime wedges, for squeezing over.

Method

Preheat the grill to high. Toast the almonds on a tray as it heats up, keeping a close eye on them and removing as soon as lightly golden. Slice up the peaches and divide between four ovenproof bowls, along with their juice. Sit a nice round scoop of ice cream on top of each, and place in the freezer.

Separate the eggs. Put the whites into the bowl of a free-standing mixer (save the yolks for another recipe), add a pinch of sea salt and whisk until the mixture forms stiff peaks (you could use an electric hand whisk). With the mixer still running, gradually add the sugar until combined. Spoon into a piping bag (I like a star-shaped nozzle) or a large sandwich bag that you can snip the corner off.

Remove the bowls from the freezer and scatter over the toasted almonds. Pipe the meringue over the ice cream as delicately or roughly as you like. Now – I work two at a time to retain maximum control – pop the bowls under the grill for just 2 minutes, or until golden. Remove carefully and serve right away.

Method

Put a griddle pan on a high heat. Scrunch the minced lamb and harissa in your clean hands until well mixed. Divide into 6 pieces, then shape into koftas with your fingertips, leaving dents in the surface to increase the gnarly bits as they cook. Griddle for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until sizzling and golden.

Meanwhile, shred the red cabbage as finely as you can. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar, then scrunch together to quickly pickle it.

Warm your tortillas or flatbreads, sprinkle over the cabbage, spoon over the cottage cheese, add the koftas, drizzle with a little extra harissa, and tuck in.

Method

Boil the beans in a pan of boiling salted water for 3 minutes, then drain and pinch the skins off any larger beans. Toast the almonds in a dry griddle pan on a medium heat until lightly golden, tossing regularly, then remove and finely slice.

Drain the peppers and open out flat, then char on the hot griddle until bar-marked on one side only. Remove and slice 1cm thick. Finely slice the parsley stalks, pick the leaves, then toss with the broad beans, peppers, 1½ tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon each of red wine vinegar and brine from the pepper jar. Taste, season to perfection with sea salt and black pepper, and divide between your plates.

Finely shave over the cheese with a speed-peeler, drizzle with 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil, scatter over the almonds, and serve.
