heatwave I didn’t only refuse to cook, there wasn’t much I wanted to eat either. Only tomatoes, nectarines, cucumber and melons were on the menu. I’m fond of melons but in 40 degrees they’re a miracle, a thirst quencher, chilled nectar of the gods.

Diana Henry's recipes that bring the best out of summer apricots

a few years ago – you hold on to them as a sign of something better.I pile those hard supermarket apricots in bowls for the kitchen table because they look beautiful, no matter what their flesh is like. I eat the baked ones for breakfast with yogurt, or sneak a spoonful from the fridge when I fancy it. Beyond that I could make apricot dishes every day: tarts, both simple and elaborate, upside-down cakes, ice cream, poached apricots to serve with chai-flavoured creams, jellies in which halves are suspended in muscat wine.

Diana Henry's ultimate steak masterclass – and the best dishes to make at home

Hawksmoor – a ‘British steakhouse’ opened by a couple of entrepreneurs who focussed on quality and sourcing – opened in 2006 (they now have eight restaurants in the UK). The number of meat-worshipping chefs - with a genuine desire to cook meat well – exploded and I started taking two buses on a Saturday to buy the kind of steaks I’d grown up eating. There are variables when it comes to cooking steak but also some rules. Get the best you can afford and understand the cut you’re buying.

Diana Henry's ultimate Christmas party menu

All decorations and tableware from The Conran Shop. These easy sausage rolls are filled with ’Nduja – a spicy, spreadable pork sausage from Southern Italy – sausagemeat and a festive grating of nutmeg. You can use store-bought puff pastry for this. Forget the soggy, lank cauliflower you might've tasted before, this dish of smoky and spiced florets with a silken avocado purée leaves lasting impression; it's a brilliant festive offering for vegans and vegetarians. A refreshing cocktail made from fresh ginger, lime and ice-cold prosecco.

Bonne Maman marmalade for this. It’s a softer set and has a lighter flavour than traditional marmalade.This couldn’t be easier – you just have to melt the chocolate, purée the chestnuts and cream the butter and sugar – but it looks gorgeous.

Diana Henry's ultimate chocolate recipes

Paul A Young has enthused about chocolate and cheese (something my children, who munch cheddar on chocolate digestives, get) and even with black pudding and Marmite. I haven’t gone that far but I have thought, again, about what goes with chocolate and why.The chocolate and salt thing was obvious once you tasted it (we love contrast, and salt is the great ‘heightener’ of flavour).

Roast stone fruit with almond and orange-flower crumbs recipe

I like crumble (who doesn’t?), but it can be a bit stodgy, more about the crumble than the fruit. In this dish, the fruit shines more – it gets gorgeous caramelised edges – and the ‘crumble’ is rich with nuggets of marzipan and scented with flower water. This is a big pudding.
