Creme Brulee
'Creme brulee' translates to 'burnt cream' which doesn't sound very good but this is a fantastic dessert. It's best made a day ahead and finished by 'burning' the tops just before your guests are due to arrive.
Crete-Inspired Sweet Cheese Pie
There are so many different types of cheese pies in Greece. Served sweet and savoury, they are simple to make good for a snack or dessert. In this recipe I have used a readily available cheese, feta, combined with cream cheese to dilute and soften its salty flavour, as fresh soft Greek cheeses are not always easy to find.
Makes 1 x 22cm pie

Crisp Chicken and Herb Rice Paper Parcels
When I serve these at a party there's never enough - even when I've doubled the recipe!
Cucumber, Pineapple and Bean Sprout Salad
The burst of sweet pineapple combined with the tangy dressing and hint of herbs really makes this simple salad a hit.
