Our contributing chef Lennox Hastie gives good cake and this week is no exception. His burnt Basque cheesecake is a thing of great beauty, and comes with a little twist to liven things up. Similarly his brilliant sizzling garlic prawns is so easy and fabulous it should become a staple in your kitchen. This is beautiful, full-flavoured cooking, and remarkably easy to achieve.

Rice is such a versatile and affordable ingredient. This week our guest chef Jasmin Weston showcases three highly approachable rice dishes to appeal to those who need to feed a family without breaking the bank. Try her one-pot Greek chicken and rice, new-fashioned pumpkin risotto and sticky sesame chicken and rice for some simple weekday cooking options.

Happy cooking.
