Not your Grandma’s Lemon Meringue – Whitney Miller
On a Sunday morning, my grandma would often whip up a “few” (at least three or more) lemon meringue pies for Sunday dinner.
Chocolate and lime go so well together. You can also make a lemon icing if you prefer, replacing the lime with 1 large lemon.
Southern Zuppa – Whitney Miller
Zuppa is the Italian word for soup. This recipe was inspired by a soup I enjoyed at an Italian restaurant, which featured potatoes, white beans, kale, and sausage.
Banana splits are all very well but I like my fruit layered up with the sauce. It’s a great sauce – use it for drizzling over other ice creams, warm crepes and chocolate cake.
My daughter Shar makes the best coleslaw ever and this is her fantastic recipe. It is full of colour, flavour and crunch and doesn’t have too much sauce – just how I like it.

Antonio Carluccio: Tajarin Con Fegatini – Thin pasta ribbons with chicken liver sauce
Tajarin is the Piedmontese dialect name for tagliolini or tagliarini (thin ribbons of pasta). They are particularly connected with the town of Alba.

Chocolate Baklava – George Colombaris
The argument still rages as to who invented baklava – the Turks, the Greeks or perhaps the Persians. Who cares?
Cold cucumber soup with plump raisins, walnuts, mint and spring onions – Ariana Bundy
Iranians eat a lot of cucumbers. They’re considered more of a fruit than a vegetable and eaten as such. The cucumbers in Iran are small, juicy and packed with flavour. When you bite into one, the smell fills the whole room. At parties, they’re piled high, with some rock salt on the side for sprinkling.
Reza Mohammad: Beetroot Samoosa
Brush the samoosas liberally with butter and sprinkle some poppy seeds and sesame seeds on the top side of the samooas.
Cyrus Todiwala: Country Captian
The evolution of this dish cannot be traced though I do believe that it originated in some swanky Gymkhana in the days of the Raj and spells the heralding of the very first form of fusion cooking.
Fish en Papillote Orientale – Cyrus Todiwala
For this recipe ideally use a simple white flesh fish that is easy to bone through the middle. Whilst most fish do well it is best to have a smaller fish that can be had whole.

Serve the soup with the rice dumpling in the centre and drizzle the glaze on top
