    Feta and Peppadew Muffins

    Feta and Peppadew Muffins

    Savoury muffins are delicious as a savoury snack at any time of the day or served with soup instead of bread. They are also a great way to use up leftover cheese, cooked meat and cooked vegetables. Just substitute the Feta for any other cheese that you fancy and the Peppadew's can be substituted for cooked meat such as ham or bacon or vegetables. The jars of antipasti artichokes, courgettes etc stored in oil work well and remember to use the oil up in the recipe instead of the olive oil. Makes 15.

    Halloumi Cheese on the Barbecue

    Halloumi Cheese on the Barbecue

    Halloumi cheese cooks very well on the barbecue as it doesn't melt into a puddle as soon as it hits the heat. Cut quite large cubes of cheese so it doesn't fall between the grid on the barbecue into the fire. Try marinading in lemon, garlic and oregano. Skewers work too, although halloumi is prone to break when you thread the skewer and try to turn them over. Grill to form a lovely brown crust.

    Swiss Chard and Gruyere Souffle

    Swiss Chard and Gruyere Souffle

    A savoury souffle is not as hard as it looks and can turn very economical ingredients into a luxurious dish. For a perfectly fluffy and towering souffle, remember no peeking while it's cooking. Put it in the oven (don't slam the door or you'll knock the air out) and patiently wait for the cooking time to elapse. Experiment by using different cheeses and swap spinach for mushrooms, cooked leeks, roasted peppers or anything else you fancy.

    • Time: 20 minutes to prepare and 30 minutes to cook one large souffle.
