  1. To make the crab cakes, place the butter into a pan on a medium heat, once melted add the shallots, salt, pepper and cover with a lid, sweat till just soft for 2-3 minutes with no colour, then add the garlic and cook for a further minute, then leave to cool in a bowl.<\/li>
  2. Mix into this the crab, potato, coriander, chilli, lime zest, paprika, cayenne pepper and black pepper, add the egg yolks and check the seasoning. Mould into approximately 65g size cakes that are approximately 1.5cm depth and 5cm diameter, place into the fridge to set for a hour.<\/li>
  3. Once set, using floured hands and a palette knife, tap the cakes into the right shape using plenty of flour, place one at a time into the egg wash and then lifting them out one by one place into the crumbs and tap all over with a palette knife so they are well coated, place onto a clean tray and repeat the process again with just egg wash and bread crumbs.<\/li>
  4. To make the tomato salsa, mix all the ingredients together and season to taste.<\/li>
  5. To assemble, place the crab cake into the fryer until lightly golden. Then place in the oven for five minutes. To serve, put the tomato salsa into a side dish next to the crab cake.<\/li><\/ol><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    1. Put the nut butter and coconut oil in the food processor and mix for 1 minute or so. Sieve in the raw cacao, then put in the rest of the ingredients (apart from the cherries) and whizz for a few minutes until totally gooey. At this point throw in the cherries and mix with a spoon.<\/li>
    2. Scoop out the mixture with a spatula into a coconut oil-greased 24cm baking tin, then put it in the freezer for 30 minutes until firmly set.<\/li>
    3. Cut the fudge into bite-size bites with a sharp knife, then pop them back in the fridge.<\/li>

      1. Place a large, shallow pan over a high heat. Add the oil and once it is hot, add the lamb mince. Spread it out evenly over the pan and leave it to cook for 3-4 minutes without stirring. When you see the meat beginning to colour around the edges, start to stir it and move it around the pan. Cook for another 5 minutes, adding half the salt and stirring every so often until the meat is golden all over. Tap the mince so it breaks down, then drain it in a colander set over a bowl to collect the oil.<\/li>
      2. Pour the oil back into the pan with butter. Add the diced carrot and the rest of the salt and cook on a low heat for 2-3 minutes, scraping all the sediment from the pan.<\/li>
      3. Add the onion, garlic, thyme and dried herbs and cook for 3 minutes over a medium heat. Put the mince back in the pan with the flour. Cook this for a minute, then add the diced tomatoes, tomato pur\u00e9e and stock and bring to a simmer. Add the pepper and continue to simmer for 10 minutes. Pile the meat into a heatproof dish.<\/li>
      4. Cut the potatoes for the mash into rough 5cm chunks. Place the cut potato into the cold water with 10g salt in a pan, place on to the heat and bring to a simmer turn the heat down and simmer for 30 minutes then tip the potatoes into a colander to drain really well.<\/li>
      5. Place the potato back in the pan and dry out on a low heat for 1 minute then add the butter, salt, pepper and the warm milk while you mash the potato.<\/li>
      6. Cover the Shepherd\u2019s Pie mix with potato. Put the dish under a hot grill for 3 minutes to colour the top and the pie is ready.<\/li><\/ol><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

        \n\t\t\t\t\u201cThis one is my perfect brownie: dense and fudgy thanks to the chia seeds; rich, but not sickeningly so; with a salted caramel-like flavour that comes from using white miso and salt together. It makes this brownie incredibly special. And there is no category for that.\u201d\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

        1. Preheat the oven to 180\u00b0C fan\/200\u00b0C\/400\u00b0F\/gas 6 and line a 20cm x 22cm cake tin with greaseproof paper<\/li>\n
        2. In a small bowl, mix the milled chia seeds with 270ml of water and set aside<\/li>\n
        3. Place the coconut oil and broken chocolate in a medium sized saucepan and set over a low heat<\/li>\n
        4. Stir occasionally until melted, then mix in the sugar, flour and miso, and crumble in the salt flakes<\/li>\n
        5. Stir in the soaked and bloomed chia seeds, then pour into the lined tin and gently shake to distribute the mixture<\/li>\n
        6. Place on the middle shelf of the oven for 45 minutes, then remove<\/li>\n
        7. The brownies might be wobbly in the middle, but they will soon settle down and become deliciously fudgy; leave to cool completely, then cut into 16 square<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
