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.

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.

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.
