Robynne Balcomb, whom I refer to as “my little one,” is a past trainee whose arm I have been trying to twist to leave her new-found passion for teaching children and to join us permanently. Her roots are still very foodie, she’s an absolute “natural”, and she jumps at any opportunity to help out. She assisted me in compiling my recipe book “Jackie Cameron at Home,” I couldn’t have managed without her with all the food preparations for the photo-shoots, and her wonderfully creative food styling, critical to meeting our deadlines. More recently she was my “chef-model” for the launch of my ‘all-female chef range’ shoot. She sent through two recipes, which I can’t wait to try. The cracker biscuits with her “Mum’s chicken and broccoli bake” is wonderfully savoury and her coconut and yoghurt fridge tart of condensed and coconut milks, sounds like a hit in the Cameron household.

With the erratic and unpredictable climatic conditions we are currently experiencing, I always have my favourite gluhwein recipe close at hand. Remember not to boil, only simmer the wine otherwise all the alcohol will evaporate and the effect will be... let’s say disappointing.

For an entertaining suggestion try peanut-butter (only the crunchy variety must be used) semi-freddo dessert. Serve with loads of your favourite hand-broken chocolate bits and candied banana slices. This can be taken to another level by adding a large ball of maple syrup ice cream. Do it - it will make your day!

A French-toast sandwich, filled with carved gammon and finely sliced pecorino with a spicy tomato relish, is always impressive. It's a grand way to start a weekend.

Fond recollections I have are making and eating 'toad in the hole', and boiled eggs with toasted dipping soldiers. I am amazed at how many people are unfamiliar with these dishes.

I impress upon all that an order should take as long as the eggs take to cook. A good few hours are spent preparing for this important meal and I believe an aspiring chef should spend his / her first month on the breakfast shift because it teaches precision, speed and the importance of maintaining a high standard. No one wants a badly fried egg first thing in the morning.
Who could forget Deviled or stuffed eggs? These are regulars on a 'grown-up's' cocktail or snack menu. Dating back to ancient Roman recipes, Deviled describes a dark food, spicy and highly seasoned which is either chopped or ground and served hot or cold.

Here are some ideas to make your picnics interesting yet stress free for the person hosting the occasion. Devils-on-horseback (prunes filled with camembert and rolled in bacon) are a popular, yet often overlooked, option. Their make up ensures limited oozing and provides savoury bursts of flavour.
