One of the things I love about cooking is how the simplest ingredients can be transformed into a feast. Recently, we went round to see a friend who is an Italian chef. He cooked pasta and a tomato sauce (amatriciana); we had a salad of shaved fennel, orange and olive oil; and a piece of delicious cheese, some good crackers and a few squares of chocolate to finish. It was a sensational weekend lunch.

Our neighbourhood farmers’ market comes every Sunday, and brings with it a stunning range of seasonal fruit and veg, affordable fish, good-quality meat with cheap cuts galore, plus cheeses, breads and much more. For me, going there and chatting to and supporting the stallholders and farmers (many of whom I have now known for years) feels a bit like going to church; there’s something soulful about it, wrapped in community spirit.

Thirty years ago, my mother-in-law set sail on an around-the-world trip that would see her land on Antigua,where she has remained to this day. On a recent visit, I once again fell for the fish and conch rotis, and mouthwatering jerk chicken, and I particularly love the use of spicing, with turmeric-stained curries scented with allspice, coriander seeds, fenugreek and cinnamon.

What a fun job, tasting hot sauces! I had a great time with my 13-year-old and her Ethiopian pal, who assured me of her skill in this department thanks to the traditionally spicy food her family eats at home.

An inspiring idea for what is possible in schools @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🥦🥕🥬

Who says good food in schools isn’t possible @RishiSunak @educationgovuk - you just need to try harder….

Great piece in @FT by @CamCavendish outlining the cost to societies, govts and people when countries turn blind eyes to our increasingly appalling diets. Well worth a read. https://t.co/VWA3UmHqmL https://t.co/5x588CISyy
