Sarah Raven's Garden Cookbook

By Sarah Raven, Jonathan Buckley

Yum! only four ingredients, and very very tasty.

This recipe suggests starting the dish on the hob then putting in the oven. My oven is on the blink so I just left it on the hob, topping up with water as necessary, until the potatoes were tender. This made the bottom layer of onions caramelise and they were probably the most delicious part of the dish! You could leave out the bacon as the chorizo already brings plenty of flavour.

Fennel and prawn - a classic combination. This is a good recipe, but when I tried it at the end of cooking the taste was a little thin, so I added in some spearmint and parmesan, which really brought out the flavour of the fennel. It would also be possible to add in spring veg like asparagus, peas.

This is basically a Thai soup-lite. Tasty enough (well, it's got all of my favourite things in it), and a good basic storecupboard recipe - I think you could use it to use up any greens that you had in the fridge. Also, the coconut milk is optional.
