Crispy and crunchy these are not far off from a really good chip. Cut them however you wish (triangles are also popular) but I love to cut them into long chip like pieces and to cover them in a shower of more freshly grated Grana Padano.

I adore rosé season. Truth be told I drink rosé all year round but it is always a joy to drink it during summer when the weather is warm and the garden is flourishing. This is one of my favourite things to enjoy alongside rosé.

I love the combination of goats cheese and blackberry. Wonderfully creamy, slightly tangy with a burst of fresh berry juiciness. The pink peppercorns add a subtly fiery kick, as well as a superb colour and these, are a fantastic quick canapé to whip out when you have guests.

This is a beautiful canapé to serve at the turning of the seasons. The flavours remind me so much of the coming of Autumn and the colours are beautiful. It is one that always goes down well and a canape I bring out time and time again. Do not be put off by the idea of pickling. Despite sounding seemingly impressive and laborious this is almost a cheats way that is incredibly simple and takes no time at all. Look for British grown Victoria blackberries. They are larger and juicer and perfect for this.

We have been blessed with the sunshine these past few weeks and I have soaked up as much of it as I can, following the sun (beach towel, book and glass of rosé in hand) as it spots its way around my little garden. Most meals have been enjoyed outside and, wherever I can I’ve spent as much time as I can making them outside too.

There is little i enjoy more than hosting a dinner party. From table setting to pudding making. I love it all! My golden rule is to make sure that everyone has a drink in their hand and a little bite to eat.

I made these recently for one of my ‘How to Host a Dinner Party’ events at Soho House and they were a huge success. Seeing as it was close to halloween I went for a ‘freak chic’ twist
