- My last supper would be... a starter of chicken livers on linguine, followed by chicken with Cajun artichoke sauce and red beans, followed by a tart red fruit salad with chocolate sauce, and a cheeseboard entirely of smoked cheeses.
- My fool proof recipe is... Paneer, chickpea and spinach curry
- My favourite utensil is... my limited edition Anna G corkscrew (impractical I know...)
- If I am not cooking I'm... listening to music or enjoying being outdoors.

"Made this last night - took next to no time, and was lovely. I used spicy sausages, and added a teaspoon of paprika. Bizarrely I'd run out of rice as well, so used trofi pasta which soaked up a bit more of the liquid than I expected! But tasted fantastic. If you're feeling lazy, you could just chop the sausages into meatball sized chunks rather than messing around...."

Chinese-style braised beef one-pot
106 comments
"First time I made this according to the recipe, I found it a little bit too rich and heavy for an "everyday" casserole (but still nice). Second time round lightened it a bit by throwing in some oyster and shiitake mushrooms, and chopped green and yellow peppers. Kept the flavours beautifully still. I serve this with noodles and mange tout. Lovely."

"Although, as comedy as it is to cook steak tartare, it's not uncommon - I've eaten it in several restaurants in Argentina..... And I don't think I'd fancy eating raw meat from a supermarket either. Although I didn't think much to this recipe to be honest - bit dull. Marco Pierre White has a better one (although still not perfect). And if I'm going to eat raw meat, I tend to go to a decent butcher :)"

Moroccan-style chicken with lentils
56 comments
"I really liked this. The first time I did this I found it a bit too sweet, so the second time added some peppers and grated carrots, upped the lentil content and cut down the apricots. I agree with emmawilki - the Ras el Hanout spice mix was much better as well (and I'd strongly recommend that brand - I've not had much success with other Moroccan style spice mixes!). "

"I also like to throw a bit of bacon in this, to make it a bit more substantial. Like the sound of adding paprika as well."
