anchovy, kale, loads of garlic and brothy chickpeas smashed into gorgeously buttery toast with jammy eggs. could write a love letter to this lunch. every flavour I love under the sun, keeps you full for ages and takes about 10 mins to make. One for a chill bright day like today that’s for sure! 6-6.5 mins for your jammy eggs then plunge into ice water Fry off garlic, loads of anchovies and chilli flakes in plenty of olive oil. Chickpeas with broth go in then add your kale or cavolo Nero and wilt down. You can add lemon and parsley here too. Smash the whole thing onto super buttery toast. Thank me later.

Monkfish au poivre aka the gateway dish for anyone who “doesn’t like fish.” Because monkfish is so meaty, it stands up beautifully to bold flavours like a well-loved peppercorn sauce. This one’s loaded with green peppercorns and capers for salty pops of flav, and yes, my crispy fries on the side are non-negotiable. Steak au poivre could never. For 4 500g floury potatoes (Maris Piper works) 100ml neutral oil Sea salt 1 monkfish tail, about 500g, trimmed, this one was kindly sent to me by @therockfishuk and was super meaty, tasty and fresh 2 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp butter 1 shallot, finely chopped 1 tbsp coarsely ground black peppercorns 1 tbsp green peppercorns in brine, drained 1 tbsp capers, drained 75ml brandy (or white wine if you prefer) 200ml fish stock 3 tbsp creme fraiche 2 tbsp chives, finely chopped 1. Heat your oven to 200°C fan. Cut the potatoes into fries, soak in iced water for 30 mins. Drain, then boil in salted water for 5 mins. Drain again and air dry. 2. Pour neutral oil onto a baking tray, heat in oven till super hot, then add fries. Roast 30–35 mins until golden and crisp, turning halfway. 3. Pat monkfish dry, season with salt. Heat 1 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp oil in an ovenproof pan, sear monkfish 5 mins per side until golden. Transfer to oven and roast 20-25 mins until firm and opaque. Rest on a warm plate, covered in foil. 4. In the same pan, add remaining butter + oil, then shallot and black pepper. Cook 4 mins. Deglaze with brandy, bubble 1 min, then add stock and educe 5 mins. 5. Stir in the green peppercorns, capers, crème fraîche, and chives. Simmer until thick and glossy. Taste and season. 6. Spoon sauce onto a platter, place monkfish on top, and serve with fries on the side.

Table for 2 is back. This time I made us a 6-Hour Moroccan spiced lamb shoulder with giant couscous & herby preserved lemon chermoula and oh my word...never have I ever had lamb so soft and moist and tender.

Heat oven to 150°C fan. Mix olive oil, spices, orange zest & juice, salt, pepper into a paste. Score the lamb a little then rub the marinade all over the lamb then coat with the honey. If you have time marinade for an hour or overnight (I just popped it right in and it was amazing) 2. Place in a roasting tray with the onion, garlic & stock, cover tightly with foil, and roast for 5 hours, basting halfway. 3. Remove foil, turn the oven up to 160c fan and roast uncovered for another 1 hour until caramelised and falling apart. Leave to rest for at least 10 mins 4. For the chermoula, blend all ingredients together until combined. 5. Just before serving cook the giant couscous in stock for 6-8 mins until tender, drain, toss with olive oil & sultanas 6. Serve with the lamb on the couscous with spoonfuls of preserved lemon chermoula on top and some fresh mint and coriander to garnish

ad| Welcome to table for 2 🍋 This week’s menu is an ode to all things lemon, inspired by @purdyandfigg gorgeous new Special Edition Calabrian Lemon summer scent. We kicked things off with anchovies, Calabrian lemon slices and olive oil, mopped up with plenty of sourdough. For mains, a creamy lemon parmesan pasta topped with herby breadcrumbs. Finished with a limoncello tiramisu (obviously). Truly obsessed with all their scents, it’s the only cleaner I’d genuinely wear as perfume but cleans so so beautifully!
