Karen Martini's buttermilk bang bang prawns

This is lip-smackingly delicious, with the delicate prawns in crisp batter, then tossed in a spicy sauce, while the zing of finger-lime pearls and the numbing Sichuan pepper all up the ante. The original ‘bang bang’ method is a Sichuan chicken dish (banging is part of the prep) accompanied by a spicy sauce with Sichuan peppercorns. In the West, that dish has morphed into a fried chicken dish with a spicy mayo sauce. This is my spin, using prawns rather than chicken.

Helen Goh's pineapple and ricotta skillet cake

Baking and serving a cake directly in an oven-proof skillet not only simplifies the process, it’s also an invitation for everyone to relax. If you’re the baker, it obviates the need to line a cake tin with baking paper or to grease and flour an elaborate bundt tin. You also do away with the anxiety, however slight, that the cake isn’t going to turn out of its mould in one piece. If you haven’t tried the combination of salt and chilli with pineapple, get ready to be converted.
