If this second winter is getting you down, cheer yourself up with cake! We`re talking @kevinflynnbakes towering banana, maple and pecan cake.

It`s sandwiched with layers of rich banana sponge with piped maple buttercream and finished with candied pecans for a showstopper twist on everyone`s favourite banana bread..

This is a rare example of a bake that improves, given a day or two to ‘mature’. Make the sponges a day or two ahead, then wrap and store in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble the cake.

Jarred artichokes offer such a great, flavourful base in this easy, midweek meal. We love the combination of hot and cold ingredients which make for a robust warm salad, perfect for these still-cool spring days. ⁠

Spring time pork tacos are the new Sunday lunch! This dish makes seasonal British twists by using fresh broad beans in place of avocados and lime-pickled radishes instead of red onion. ⁠
⁠
When they’re in season, you can find radishes complete with a froth of green leaves. These are completely edible and have the same pleasing pepperiness as the radishes themselves, so don’t throw them in the bin – use as you would salad leaves or watercress.⁠

EASY LUNCH IDEA: The peppery flavour of radishes contrasts beautifully with nutty brown butter and creamy ricotta in this simple lunch recipe. Spread the ricotta over the toasted sourdough, then spoon over the radishes with plenty of the buttery juices.⁠
⁠
If you don’t want to add all the radish leaves, give them a rinse and keep in an airtight container in the fridge. They’re a great addition to a salad – or you can shred them and use like soft herbs.⁠

Potato salads don`t get much more gorgeous than this. Saline-sweet mussels, sharp capers and a kick of chilli lend bags of flavour to the potatoes.⁠
⁠
Be sure to use waxy salad potatoes rather than floury ones for this dish, as they’ll retain their texture and absorb the dressing without falling apart. You can use ready-cooked mussels for this dish too – you need about 150g mussel meat.⁠
⁠
This dish is lovely served straight away, but making it in advance and letting the flavours get to know each other for a few hours in the fridge then serving it at room temperature is even better.⁠

Tarts and spring go hand in hand, as they showcase all the beautiful new fresh produce beautifully. This trout, spring onion and wild garlic quiche is a pure encapsulation of the season. Wild garlic gives the creamy filling a delicate fragrance that lifts the oily trout beautifully. The perfect spring lunch dish to share with friends. ⁠
⁠
If you can’t find any wild garlic, use another soft herb such as chives or dill.⁠

We will never tire of chicken dinners 🤠 In this one, whizzed up watercress, spinach and dill provide a verdant green sauce for crispy skin chicken thighs, nutty lentils and charred asparagus. ⁠
⁠
You can make this with chicken breasts if you prefer, ideally skin on. If they’re skinless, you’ll only need to brown them for a few minutes before adding the green sauce to the pan.⁠
