Stellar Kitchen Pure Oak Board

Sweet dressed crab, silky vanilla scented tomatoes and a little warmth from chilli make this feel quietly luxurious, yet deeply comforting. The tomatoes soften slowly in olive oil until jammy and rich, before being folded through linguine with delicate crab sautéed gently in a hot Stellar frying pan. Finished with plenty of parmesan, this is the sort of supper best eaten slowly with a cold glass of white wine and the windows open to the evening air. 

Nothing captures British summer quite like ripe strawberries. Paired with whipped mascarpone, a splash of Pimms and fragrant basil, they become an effortlessly elegant dessert with a fresh, herbaceous difference.

Looking for a festive-flavoured dinner for your mid-week whip-ups or a relaxed pre-Christmas get-together? This cheesy parsnip gnocchi gratin brings just the right amount of seasonal flair.

Juicy nectarines meet a splash of Amaretto and the dusky sweetness of warm spices in this rustic crumble; all baked in a single skillet. The nuts in the crumble, almonds, pistachios and hazelnuts, echo the depth of the liqueur, bringing texture and richness. This is comfort food dressed in perfume. 

Golden, glossy risotto – creamy without cream, a slow-cooked alchemy of rice, broth, and time – finds its soul in the mellow sweetness of roasted butternut squash. Cognac deepens the flavour, its warmth lingering in every spoonful. Finished with a vibrant pumpkin seed pesto, this dish is autumn gathered into a bowl. 

A sun-drenched plate made for sharing: delicate courgettes, soft and golden-edged from the pan, meet the cool tang of labneh. There’s crunch from toasted pine nuts, freshness from torn mint, and a drizzle of vibrant mint oil to tie it all together.
