Szechuan or Kung Po chicken is world famous for being aromatically spicy and fiery, with a mouth-numbing after-effect. You can make this as spicy or non-spicy as you like. Below is the recipe for a spicy version (as we like it hot!), so just skip the fresh chilli and half the szechuan pepper if you want it less spicy and ...
This zingy lemon cake is very simple to make and hits the spot for an any time of day snack. We have given two options for a glaze – either a simple sugar and lemon juice drizzle makes a sticky and slightly crunchy glaze, whereas the icing sugar and lemon juice is more like a traditional iced topping…either way, it’s ...
People often struggle to match the type of rice they are cooking with the correct rice cooking setting – after all, white rice can be long, short or even medium grain, brown rice, black rice and red rice similarly throw up conundrums for people using their rice cookers.

Adapted from a recipe of Jami Oilver’s – vegan because one of us has a dairy allergy, adapted because it originally included nuts…the other one of us has a nut allergy! Serve with ...
