medium speed.
3. Add the salt and gradually pour in the water and the milk continuously beating until
the batter is smooth.
4. Heat some butter in a frying pan and when it is hot, add two ladlefuls of the batter to

Meringues topped with Strawberries and Cream - Serves 4
• 3 egg whites
• 175g of caster sugar
• 100g of strawberries, hulled and chopped
• 190ml of double cream
1. First, make the meringues. When making meringues it is important that the bowl and
beaters are completely dry and free from grease or oil.
2. Pre-heat the oven to 150°C (gas mark 2). Cover a baking tray in baking parchment or
greaseproof paper.
3. Place the egg whites into a medium bowl and begin mixing at a low speed until the
eggs begin to froth. Then, raise the speed on your hand mixer to a faster setting.
4. Continue mixing until the egg whites form stiff peaks. This will take a couple of
minutes.
5. Once peaks are able to stand up, begin adding the sugar gradually while continuing
to whisk on a medium speed. The mixture should look glossy. Spoon the mixture onto
the baking tray in small blobs about 2cm apart.
6. Place the meringues in the oven and reduce the heat to 140°C (gas mark 1). Leave
to cook for approximately 1½ hours until they have a brown tinge to them. Turn the
oven off and leave them to cool in the oven.
7. The meringues can be stored in an airtight container until they are needed.
8. Using your hand mixer, whip the double cream on a medium speed setting until it is
thick. Top the meringues with the cream and sprinkle with strawberries.
Lemon Meringue Ice Cream - Serves 4
• One batch of meringues (see previous recipe)
• 400ml of double cream
• 200ml of Greek yogurt
• 200g of lemon curd
• 1 lemon zest and juice
1. Using your hand mixer, whip the double cream on a medium to high setting until it is
thick. Then fold in the Greek yogurt, lemon curd, lemon zest and juice.
2. Crumble the meringues in to the mixture and gently fold the meringue pieces in.
Transfer it to a wide container with a lid.
3. Place it in the freezer and if you wish, stir every couple of hours. This will create a
smoother ice-cream. It should be frozen over 6-8 hours. Alternatively you can leave it
to freeze overnight.

Baked Chocolate Orange Cheesecake - Serves 6-8
For the base
• 240g Orange chocolate biscuits (or chocolate digestives with a teaspoon of orange
zest)
• 100g of melted butter
Forthelling
• 200g of golden caster sugar
• 3½ tablespoons of orange juice
• 2 tablespoons of orange zest
• 4 tablespoons of corn-our
• 600g of soft cheese (a mixture of light and full fat if you prefer)
• 3 medium eggs
• 300ml of double cream, whipped
• 100g of dark chocolate (70% cocoa), melted
1. In a food processor crush the biscuits then transfer the mixture to a bowl. Drizzle the
melted butter over the biscuits and stir to combine. Line a round cake tin with baking
parchment and then press the biscuits into the bottom. Place this in the fridge to
harden.
2. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (gas mark 4).
3. With your hand mixer on a medium speed, begin to beat the double cream in a large
mixing bowl. Increase the speed until it is thick. Stir in the cream cheese.
4. In a separate bowl mix together the sugar, orange juice, zest, vanilla and cornour.
Pour this into the cream and cheese and beat on a low speed until it is fully
combined.
5. Melt the chocolate in the microwave and allow it to cool slightly. Remove about a
quarter of the mixture and mix it well with the melted chocolate. You should now have
one bowl with light, creamy mixture and one bowl with the chocolate mixture.
6. Add the white mixture to the cake tin on top of the biscuit base. Then dollop the
chocolate mixture on top, and gently stir using a skewer to create a marbled effect.
7. Place it in the pre-heated oven and cook for approximately 50 minutes until it is
golden on top but slightly wobbly in the centre. If it looks like it is going to brown,
cover it with tin-foil.
8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Serve in wedges sprinkled with grated
chocolate.

Tempura King Prawns with Lemon Mayonnaise - Serves 4
For the Prawns
• 24 Large raw king prawns, heads and shells removed.
• 50g of corn-our
• 200g of plain our
• 1 large egg yolk
• 350ml of iced sparkling water (iced still water can also be used)
• Vegetable Oil, enough for deep frying
Lemon Mayonnaise
• 1 egg yolk
• 250ml, approximately of groundnut oil or light olive oil
• ½ teaspoon of salt
• ½ lemon, juiced
1. Prepare the mayonnaise rst. The best oil to use is groundnut oil as it is avourless,
however a light olive oil will work just as well. The egg yolk enables the lemon juice
to remain mixed with the oil.
2. In a small mixing bowl add the egg yolk and beat together using your hand mixer on
a low speed setting.
3. Slowly begin to pour in the oil, gradually beating until it is mixed in. As you add the oil,
continue mixing and the mixture will start to thicken.
4. Once it has reached a thick, creamy consistency, stir in the salt and the lemon juice.
5. This can then be stored in the fridge whilst you make the rest of the dish.
6. For the tempura batter, add the corn-our, plain four, egg yolk and water in a bowl
and using your hand mixer on a medium speed, mix together to form a batter.
You may wish to add a little more or less water to get the batter to the desired
consistency—when correct it should coat your nger.
7. Heat the oil until it is hot in a large pan. Coat each prawn with the batter and place
them carefully into the hot oil using a slotted spoon.
8. Fry for approximately 3-4 minutes until they are golden and then remove and drain.
You may need to do the prawns in batches so that they do not stick together.
9. Serve sprinkled with salt and the lemon mayonnaise.
Variations
Aioli: Replace the lemon juice with 2 cloves of crushed garlic
Dill and Lemon: This is perfect for sh. Use the above recipe for lemon mayonnaise
adding 3 sprigs of chopped dill.

SpringOnion,PancettaandCheddarMufns-Makes 12
These mufns are really versatile; try swapping the spring onions for red onion, pancetta
for bacon and the cheddar for goats or blue cheese. Because pancetta is quite salty we
have not included any added salt in this recipe
• 100g pancetta slices
• 8 spring onions, nely sliced.
• 250g self-raising our
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 2 eggs
• 80g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 200ml buttermilk
• 1 tbsp nely chopped chives (optional)
• 150g strong cheddar, grated
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1. Heat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6 and line a mufn tin with 12 paper mufn
cases.
2. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and dry fry the pancetta until it’s golden and
crispy (be careful because pancetta slices cook really quickly). Remove the pancetta
from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Allow it to cool then
crumble it.
3. In the same fat used to cook the pancetta, sauté the spring onion until just softened,
(about ve minutes), then set aside to cool.
4. Place the our, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and pepper into a clean mixing
bowl.
5. In a jug, whisk together the eggs, butter and buttermilk on a medium speed for 30
seconds.
6. Pour the egg mixture into the our mixture and gently fold them together using a
spatula (the mixture should not be smooth so do not over mix).
7. Fold in the pancetta, onions and two thirds of the cheese.
8. Spoon or scoop the mixture into the mufn tin, sprinkle on the rest of the cheese and
bake for about 18 minutes until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the
centre of a mufn comes out clean.
