    Isinkwa sommbila (mielie bread)

    20 minutes SERVES 5

    Isinkwa sommbila, I think my mum has only made it once but the taste and the smell lives on in my head. Lately I have been trying to replicate it, but I haven’t really got there yet. This recipe is a close second.

    Roast chicken with peach hot sauce

    40 minutes SERVES 6

    This marinated chicken with peach hot sauce is the perfect combination of a fruity hot sauce with something smoky and salty. This roast chicken is so easy to prepare using Worcestershire sauce and syrupy canned peaches. Zap them into this quick but fierce sauce and you’ll never want another condiment on your chicken again!

    Chocolate fudge cake with malted buttercream

    50 minutes SERVES Makes a 20 cm two-layer cake

    "You’ll find three choccy cakes in this book: the sponge (light as a feather), the mud (dense and rich) and this one, my go-to chocolate fudge cake. It’s a hybrid of a devil’s food cake and a sour cream cocoa cake and it makes the most perfect, fudgy chocolate cake. This is a one-bowl cake, easy as can be and will always produce the same glorious result. It’s perfect for a birthday party – a real crowd-pleaser. I’ve paired it with malt buttercream as a layer cake but think of this as a base chocolate cake and dress it up with dreamy ganache, dress it down with a simple dusting of cocoa, use it in trifles, bake it into cupcakes or mini loaves, or as a slab topped with set mousse – anything goes!" – Emelia Jackson
