This salad always looks wonderful on the table. I often serve it alongside a simple roast chicken. The colours remind me so much of Autumn but I tend to eat it during winter when the trees are bare and I look for colour in my cooking even more than usual.

Heartier than a soup but equally comforting, this is the sort of food I crave in December. It’s the sort of dish that I can happily eat with just a spoon, the bowl propped up on my knees as I rewatch Love Actually for the zillionth time.

I always feel immense joy when asparagus comes into season. A sure sign that spring has arrived. This butter is a take on the classic beurre blanc but rather than using white wine, it is enriched with champagne.
