I think cobblers are such underrated puddings - what’s not to love about sticky, syrupy fruit with a light and gooey sponge which soaks up all the fruit juices, a crispy topping and a creamy, rich custard on the side. I added fennel seeds because they go so well with peaches and the crunchy pistachios added more texture too. Adding some lavender to the vanilla custard is a complete game changer - it just gives a slightly floral hint which worked really well with the other flavours. Not the most refined of puddings, but definitely one of the tastiest.

Crab and fennel is a classic combination. Teamed with lemon, parsley, chilli, anchovies and capers, the flavours just come alive. This is the recipe for my crab bucatini which is healthy, full of flavour and so versatile. It is both a perfect quick midweek meal and a dish to impress for a dinner party. For me it’s the breadcrumbs which make this recipe so don’t miss out on those.
