A lot of families have a carousel of meals they cook on rotation. Simon and Yumi both have this - and it can get boring. The spins can lack variety and surprise!

And you know what else? Every now and then you look at what you've got on regular rotation and realise... HANG ON, THAT THING THAT WE ALL USED TO LOVE AND EAT ALL THE TIME FELL OUT OF FAVOUR!

So - in Simon's case? Let's bring back Coriander Pesto!

It's so good to add flavour as a condiment to a curry. But it can also be drizzled over cooked fish. Or to marinate chicken. SO GOOD, TRUST ME.

1 bunch of coriander, washed well and spun dry

100g plain peanuts (not roasted/salted etc)

Juice of 1 lemon

2 small green chillies, de-seeded if you don't like heat

1 tsp salt

FYI in Meera Sodha's version (and we both LOVE HER COOKBOOKS), she also adds in 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder and 4 tsp brown sugar!

My kids will go camping simply on the promise of a foil-wrapped, campfire roasted potato.

They'll endure tent-sleeping in torrential rain for them!

So what do you do if you can't have a camp fire? (National Parks, total fire bans, etc.?)

And how can you translate this natural and tasty delight into something you can make at home surrounded by your city comforts?

Does cooking for one sound sad? Depressing? Lonely?

It's kind of okay - if you're armed with some hacks so you're not starting from scratch every meal.

YUMI'S ANCHOVY SALAD DRESSING (TO LEAVE IN THE FRIDGE FOR WHEN YOU JUST CAN'T BE BOTHERED)

60g anchovies

250ml olive oil

10g honey

25g tahini

20g best balsamic vinegar

50g white balsamic vinegar

juice of one lemon

Blend everything in the jar you intend to store it in. Check for sourness and seasoning. If it's too intense, add more oil, up to another 150ml.

Store in the fridge.

Dress on a salad of rocket, walnuts, pear, crutons and thickly grated grana padano cheese! (You won't need the full amount of dressing! This is so you can use a bit and store the rest. A couple of tablespoons per serve of salad.)
