StartersServes 12 for canapés, 4-6 as a starter Make the apple sauce — Peel, quarter and core the apples. Cut the pieces into two and put in a stainless steel or cast iron saucepan with sugar and water. Cover and put over a low heat. As soon as the apple has broken down, beat into a puree, stir and taste for sweetness. Make the mustard sauce – Put the cream and both mustards in a small pan and bring slowly to the boil, stirring occasionally. Taste and season if necessary. Melt a very little butter in a frying pan and fry the pudding on both sides on a medium heat until cooked through. Remove the skin from the pudding. Make a bed of apple sauce on the serving plate or plates. Lay the pieces of hot pudding on top of the apple. Spoon a little Mustard Sauce carefully over the top. Garnish with flat parsley and serve immediately or pile it on top of a white soda bread scone.

StartersHeat a large heavy-based pot over a medium heat and, in the following order, add the olive oil, diced onion, bashed garlic, cumin seed, ginger, salt and pepper, carrot and celery along with the cayenne pepper, if using. Sweat over a low to medium heat until the onion and vegetables soften a little and the cumin seeds are toasted. When you think you’ve enough flavour in your pot – the change in colour is a clue but you’ll know by the delicious aromas – add your chosen member of the squash family. Then barely cover with stock, cover with a lid and allow to simmer until the squash is cooked– about 20–25 minutes, but it will depend on what type of squash you used, so check by piercing with a knife. Allow to cool a little before blending. Add a little water if the soup needs thinning out. Check the seasoning for taste and serve garnished with fresh coriander
