Honey, soy and ginger drumettes

Sticky soy drumettes are a real crowd-pleaser, whether for finger food or as a more substantial meal with rice and greens. I've dressed these up a little with some shaved raw shiitakes – which take on the sauce and are warmed through with the heat of the chicken – and a good sprinkling of crushed peanuts that add texture and a flavour punch. Add heat by introducing some chilli to the sauce or sprinkle over some very finely sliced chillies at the end.

Galician almond tart aka tarta Santiago.

Galician almond tart (tarta Santiago)

Tarta Santiago is eaten in Spain on July 25 to celebrate the day of St James the Apostle. Traditionally, a heavy metal Cross of St James is pressed onto the centre of the tart* before it's dusted with icing sugar. Use shop-bought shortcrust pastry by all means, though I should mention that this is my favourite pastry recipe and is well worth having in your repertoire.
