Matt Preston's moules 'boganaire'
"Mussels, pork & fennel snags and potato chips. It’s about time we recognised mussels are an everyday, everyman meal!" - Matt Preston Recipe note: "You’ll need a large stockpot. If you can’t find fennel or it’s too expensive, just add another 1 tsp fennel seeds. I don’t debeard my mussels as I hate having my beard pulled while I am alive! I’m sure the mussels feel the same. And I can always remove any beards far more easily once they are cooked." - Matt Preston
Classic roast chicken
"There are a million ways to roast a chicken. I like to sprinkle it with salt on the morning of the day I want to cook it, or a day in advance, if I’m organised. Before that, I leave the chicken, uncovered, in the fridge, even if I don’t intend to cook it for another 3-4 days. This helps to dry out the skin. The drier the skin going into the oven, the more golden-brown the chicken will be coming out. Probably the most important factor is the quality of the bird. An organic, heritage-breed chicken is always going to be tastier, so if you can afford the extra money, you will be rewarded." - Danielle Alvarez

Roast pork with plums (maiale e prugna)
"Before all the vineyards were planted, this was an orchard region. We source some of our stone fruit from a farm that’s at least 150 years old. Blood plums are best for this recipe, however, you can substitute other plums if blood plums are unavailable. The colour of the sauce will be slightly different." – Paolo Picarazzi
