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
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.

Chocolate fondant cake with Grand Marnier poached oranges
Here's an ultra rich and gooey dessert perfect for winter. With fondants, timing is important, so they need to be served shortly after cooking. The whole point is a soft, runny, warm centre! You will need to refrigerate the mixture before baking.

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.
