Tips
The fennel and cucumber salad is also good with poached prawns or seared tuna.
In the steak recipe, use baby cos or witlof instead of baby gem.
You can substitute stone fruit with pears, poached the same way.
Omit the flour from the baked ricotta to make it a gluten-free dessert – it will still set.
