Curry favour with your guests by making them this mouthwatering beef rendang​. This delicious rendang can be made with lamb or chicken – just alter the cooking time. Using a small shoulder of lamb (about a kilo) will take a little less time, while chicken thighs will be ready in 30 minutes.

Asian prawn and pomelo salad

Asian prawn and pomelo salad

Pomelo (also known as Chinese grapefruit) is the largest member of the citrus family. Its skin is thick and yellow, while its flesh tends to be slightly sweeter than that of grapefruit. However, this salad is great with any citrus fruit, including grapefruit, orange or mandarin. Adding lots of fresh mint is good, too.

Fennel, orange and olive salad with oil-poached tuna

The flavours in this salad are so vibrant they'll disarm anyone! It works beautifully with just about any seafood; use tinned tuna if you want to make it really simple but be sure it is a brand that supports sustainability. If you do poach fresh tuna, prepare a day ahead for best flavour.

The best tomatoes come out in late summer, so it's a good time to make this chicken dish - and to use tomatoes in salads often. Serve the chicken with chat potatoes or your favourite pasta, and a green salad.

Asparagus recipe: Asparagus and hazelnut salad with creamy dressing

Asparagus recipe: Asparagus and hazelnut salad with creamy dressing

I love this time of year, with asparagus coming into season. It's perfect in salads, sauteed or as a side dish. You can even chuck it on the barbie for a few minutes. If even that seems too much like hard work, don't forget it's a perfect vegetable to eat raw. Try pairing this asparagus number with a homemade beef pie.
