Based on a wonderful Iranian bean dish called loobia chiti, which can be served as an appetiser, as part of a meze selection or a main dish. We’ve added extra greens to our version to make a good substantial veggie/vegan supper. Nice with flatbread. Timings Beat the butter and sugar together until very soft and aerated. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add all the remaining ingredients, including the chocolate liquid, and combine, keeping the mixing to a minimum. You should end up with a rich, pourable batter. This was inspired by a dish cooked for us by a chef in Sardinia. It’s so simple and straightforward but really superb to eat. Credit: Andrew Hayes-Watkins Cumberland sausage pie

Proper fish and chips can be quite a business to make at home. Instead, try our super-easy version with everything cooked in the oven.

Fry briefly on both sides and taste for heat and seasoning. Add more salt, pepper or chilli to the main mixture if necessary. When you are satisfied with the flavour, form the mixture into 4 patties and chill them for at least an hour – this will help the flavour develop. The dishes were wide-ranging. Even those from British fans spanned the globe – a celebration, says King, of “the multicultural cuisine we have in the UK. There aren’t many countries where you can eat your way around the world in most cities. We should be proud of that.” Add the jalapeños, coriander stems and garlic and stir for another couple of minutes. Stir in the chilli paste or hot sauce, soy sauce, cumin and cinnamon and season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool. Stir in some of the mint and parsley, reserving a few leaves for a garnish, then add a squeeze of lemon. Sprinkle in half the sumac and stir. Taste and adjust the sourness by adding more lemon juice to taste. Serve garnished with more herbs and sumac and maybe some flatbread on the side.

We try to keep things interesting and get people into the kitchen and empower them to give it a whirl”. Si King and Dave Myers, aka the Hairy Bikers Credit: Andrew Hayes-Watkins Heat a tablespoon of oil in a frying pan. Add the onion, red pepper and carrot and cook until the onion is soft and translucent and the vegetables are collapsed down and glossy, but dry. The Bikers’ unbridled enthusiasm is their USP. We speak 10 days after Myers tests positive for Covid. “He’d crawl here if he could,” jokes King. “He’s tough as an old boot, Dave, but it’s always a worrying time. It’s touched a lot of people’s lives.” Cumberland pie is very similar to shepherd’s pie, so we thought to ourselves: why not make a pie with Cumberland sausages for the full Cumberland experience?
