A throwback to old school 90’s Chinese takeaway dinners, this dish takes a little time with the marinade, coating and batter for the pork, but is worth the effort and a joy to eat. Serve with steamed rice and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.

Homemade tagliatelle is given a seasonal twist with the addition of wild garlic, turning it a welcoming bright green. An earthy spinach pesto with walnuts and pecorino compliments this vegetarian dish.

Wild garlic pizza is a seasonal version of garlic bread, great as a snack, pre-dinner nibble with drinks, or lunch with a green salad on the side.

The wild garlic season may be short, but this versatile butter will more than make up for it - toss some boiled and cooled baby new potatoes in it for a simple side dish, or spread on toasted bread under a poached egg for a delicious and quick brunch.

A perfect side to pre-dinner drinks, these snacks look impressive but are surprisingly easy to make, and work well with both grated parmesan or Gruyère if you can find it.

Slowly braised pork shoulder, fragrant, tangy and sweet, paired with homemade pickled red onion, fresh coriander and grilled pineapple makes this a perfect dinner. Wrap it all in flash grilled blue corn tortillas and enjoy with a squeeze of lime.
