In the world of cocktails, the Bloody Mary is very much a contradiction.
Instead of being blamed for a hangover, it is used as the cure. And rather than being consumed at night, the spicy concoction is best imbibed the morning after.

Prawns have always been popular in Cordoba, traditionally shipped in on the incoming tide of the Guadalquivir River. This is a quick, light and succulently salty tortilla. If you can't find nettles, use English spinach instead.

At its simplest, this traditional Lebanese dish is made with lentils, rice, onion and water. I have added spices. The onions should be cooked really well with lots of blackened, crunchy bits. To make a creamy, thickened yoghurt, drain through a colander or sieve lined with muslin or a new Chux kitchen cloth.

I have eaten different versions of this recipe, from the poverty-inspired original on my grandfather's knee to modern adaptations in super-swish restaurants in Madrid. They all have four things in common: bread, salt, chocolate and olive oil.

This is a smart and easy recipe for entertaining. The braised lentils can be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge for up to five days. Make extra and freeze them. If the duck breasts are large, finish cooking them in a hot oven, wrapped in foil, for another five minutes. The lentils are also delicious with grilled sausages.

At its simplest this lovely stew can contain only one or two fish. It is after all a peasant dish and need not be extravagant. Choose meatier varieties such as monkfish, snapper and blue eye for the body of the meal - they add flavour and depth, while smaller fillets or pieces such as garfish and red mullet are subtle and add interest.
