Charred Salt and Vinegar Cabbage

Delightfully (to me and perhaps to you, too), this works best with green cabbage, that inexpensive, sturdy workhorse you can find everywhere and often in the back of my fridge, neglected. This recipe was originally published in my third cookbook, Smitten Kitchen Keepers, a sort of odd man out recipe I didn’t expect anyone but me to love, and was delighted to be proven wrong.

Crispy Cabbage and Cauliflower Salad

There are three key things to keep in mind here. The first is char: Do not be afraid to take these vegetables to the edge of burnt. Both cauliflower and cabbage taste amazing with very dark edges; don’t skimp on them. The second is speed: The moment you mix the vegetables with the dressing, it will begin to soften. It’s still crazy good but the magical moment is when it just begins to soften and each bite is both crackly and tender. The third is yield. This doesn’t make a lot, in the end, because the vegetables shrink so much when they cook. But you’re still limited to what you can fit on a sheet pan. That works out to one generous or two moderate portions. You’ll likely lop off part of your cabbage and cauliflower and wrap the rest up in the fridge for another day, but since this is so good, that day will probably be tomorrow.

Pasta pomodoro

Pasta pomodoro is the original – and best – tomato pasta. This recipe is quick and easy but uses a few tricks to really amp up the flavour. Toasting the tinned tomatoes without their liquid introduces gentle caramelisation; cooking the basil stalks and reserving the leaves at the end provides a double layer of fragrance and adding a knob of butter at the end ensures a glossy, rich finish.

Melon, smoked chicken and grape salad

This chicken salad is refreshing and totally fit for summer. The recipe comes from food writer Debora Robertson, who says: “I have been making this salad, and versions of this salad, for decades, ever since I shared a flat with a Southern Belle from Virginia in my second year at university. Once she made it for a lunch with some fellow Americans. One took a bite and declared ‘Mary Martha, I believe you must have been to a lot of debutante lunches this summer’. Whether you’re a southern debutante or not, it’s entirely appropriate for the season.”
