Fresh, nutty and so crunchy, this simple Asian salad is great for a light lunch or as a side for some grilled meat. It’s a chore to snap off the stringy tails of mung bean sprouts, but they look prettier and taste so much better without tails. If you can’t find fresh baby corn, then use canned one, but the taste and texture won’t be the same.

Comforting, deeply savoury, and extremely delicious, this chicken smothered with a chocolate mole, aka mole negro, is made with layers of complex and bold flavours. The sauce is not only great for chicken, pork, also great to jazz up the root vegetables. And of course you can spoon the sauce over the beans too. Use different kinds of dried chillies if you have, otherwise, a single kind would work just fine.

If you fancy something sweet but don't want to bake a cake, homemade cookies are a great alternative. They are quick to bake, taste delicious and are great for sharing. Simple and delicious with crunchy edges and a slightly soft center, these lavender chocolate cookies will surprise you with an intriguing and unexpected flavour combination. Dark chocolate harmonises perfectly with the slightly floral aroma of dried lavender flowers. A pinch of sea salt rounds off the flavour. Leave the cookies to cool on the tray a few minutes before transfering them to wire rack to cool as the cookies are still very soft fresh from the oven and could otherwise break. If you don’t have fleur de sel, use sea salt flakes.

Muffins with licorice toffee? To be honest, that sounds a bit strange at first, doesn't it? I tried the combination anyway, since my husband loves licorice. Anyone expecting a standard sweet muffin probably won’t like the licorice flavour. But if you like licorice candy, and are adventurous enough to try new things, then these licorice toffee muffins are perfect for you. You can use either sweet or salted licorice for the recipe. To intensify the flavour, add a couple of tablespoons of licorice liqueur to the batter too.

Eggplant, aka aubergine, is one of very few vegetables that I can enjoy without tummy issues, and is surprisingly versatile. Whether fried until crispy, steamed, whizzed into a dip, in a chocolate cake, in a casserole or in a curry, plus much more - these quick and easy recipes with aubergine or eggplants are perfect for everyday use. With these dishes, you'll even get those who have an aversion to vegetables on your side.

1. Chrysanthemum-shaped Eggplant

   Aubergine / eggplant prepared this way is so fun and delicious, sweet and sour, easy yet impressive, a delicacy for all ages! A restaurant-worthy yet so simple appetizer that you can easily make it at home. The main feature of the dish is the method of cutting, slicing straight from top to bottom, leaving the bottom intact, and turning ninety degrees to repeat the previous process. I have peeled the eggplant, but you can leave the skin on.

For once, the pancakes are not served sweet for breakfast, but in a savoury version with smoked salmon and a hazelnut vinaigrette as a light meal. I used a springform pan to make a huge baked pancake, but you can make the regular one in a skillet. Besides smoked salmon, you can also serve the pancakes with poached eggs, or some stirfried chicken.
