Very pleased with this cauliflower couscous topped with with beetroot, feta and a harissa and honey dressing. Will be shrunk into bowl food for next week's big event for Elstree. Today though it was full size for my lovely lunch!

Never underestimate the humble cauliflower. Roasted with turmeric and cumin then combined with chickpeas, pomegranate and pine nuts - sensational!

Cauliflower enjoys a complete transformation by blitzing and adding heaps of lime zest, coriander and chilli. Dress with rapeseed and lime juice for a glorious accompaniment to butterflied and griddled chicken breast.

For this week's #saturdaysprouts, halve all but the smallest and toss in oil and good quality balsamic vinegar. No need to parboil, just 20 minutes in the oven at 180 gives an ideal texture and caramelisation. A revelation with roast chicken, definitely to be done again.

#saturdaysprouts has gone a bit more exotic than usual for these very British green bundles. Sliced quite thinly then stir fried with chilli, garlic, ginger and spring onions. Finished with a splash of soy and a shake of rice vinegar - gorgeous with duck.

Sprouts slaw-style. Raw, shredded with carrots, celery, apple, blanched almonds and parsley, dressed with pomegranate molasses and tangerine juice.

Had a fantastic time judging the brilliant MasterChef competition at Brockhurst and Marlston House this evening. So impressed by menus, table designs and such confident cooking. Really well done everyone who made it to the final!

Still catching up with myself this week but cracking on with #saturdayspouts! A combination of ideas today; good old bacon, shallots and chestnuts (had to appear at some point) but adding another dimension by roasting it all with balsamic. Perfect with roast pork and crackling.

One of the best ever #saturdaysprouts today. Ever had sprouts for breakfast? Brilliant in bubble and squeak topped with bacon and a poached egg. Utterly scrumptious and set me up for a long morning outdoors. Definitely one to do again.
