Wine Atlas Catarratto (£4.97, Asda) This bargain Italian white has notes of lime and fresh herbs. It’s light enough to go with the sides, but the lemony notes match the lamb well too. Sainsbury's Rose Cava 75cl (£5.50) If you fancy something with a little fzz, this will ft the bill. Delicately fruity, its slight acidity cuts through the lamb nicely. It's Easter – a great time to break open some fzz! Kalander Red (£7, Morrisons) This blend of Shiraz, Mourvèdre and Cinsault grapes produce a bold red with smoky aromas and ripe red cherry fruit.

Which chocolate? Always look for the cocoa percentage to best suit your recipe. This is how to pick the right chocolate for your bakes: • MILK These must have a minimum of 20% cocoa solids – however, one with 30% for a creamy fnish and a decent chocolate favour. • DARK A bar of standard dark chocolate has only 36% cocoa solids and is really sweet, so look for one labelled ‘Belgian’ as this will be about 50%, which is great for cakes and cookies as it’s not too bitter. Use chocolate labelled 70% for rich fondants. • WHITE Free of cocoa solids, white chocolate relies on good-quality cocoa butter, sugar, milk solids, and vanilla. We fnd that the economy brands melt the best, so don't be put off by…

What inspired you to write your first cookbook? It was losing my little girl, Natasha, at 3 months that led me to change direction into the feld of nutrition. I was very lucky that I got pregnant within a year and had Nicholas, but I felt quite vulnerable when he didn’t eat properly. The only books I could fnd for children had quite bland recipes, and I was convinced he would prefer favourful food. And I was right – he started eating better and I started sharing recipes with the other mums at my son’s playschool. Fast forward 2 years and I had written my frst book, the Complete Baby and Toddler Meal Planner. It took a while to convince anyone to publish it, but now I’ve published a 25th…
