A rich cake with dried currants and candied peel, using the weight of five whole eggs to measure its flour and sugar.

Escarole and six cold hard-boiled eggs in four tablespoons No863 dressing.

Thin fallow-deer loin chops cooked quickly with butter, olive oil, a whole garlic clove, sage and Marsala.

Thin grooved milk biscuits made with baker’s ammonia and baked until dry and crisp.

Hot farina cooked in milk and sugar, finished with egg yolk and served with cold milk separately.

Small bean-shaped almond biscuits scented with lemon, with two further versions giving a higher proportion of almonds or a fine almond-and-egg-white dough.

Blanched fennel wedges sautéed in butter, finished in broth and lightly bound with flour and Parmesan.

Tender fennel pieces in a light egg and Parmesan mould, served hot after gentle cooking in a water bath.

Fennel, artichoke hearts and mushrooms are tossed with rosemary, parsley and a balsamic vinaigrette. Lemon wedges are served alongside.

Fully cooked cannellini beans give this fennel sauce a thick, creamy body without dairy. Raw fennel and shallot are blended into the cooled beans with dried oregano and both balsamic and red wine vinegars.

Fennel, grated carrot, courgette and lettuce are tossed with a ginger and saffron vinaigrette.

Tender simmered fennel is blended with raw courgette and shallot into a thick vegetable sauce. Ground cinnamon and coriander give it a warm spice profile, while red wine vinegar adds acidity.

Fennel, mushrooms and tomato are distributed over a serving dish with rocket and lettuce. Basil and oregano are included, with dressing spooned around the plate at the finish.

Simmered fennel is puréed with raw tomato and a warm saffron-thread infusion. A little paprika and chopped parsley season the sauce, with the remaining water stirred in only if a looser texture is wanted.

Tender fennel wedges cooked in butter and milk, then covered with Parmesan and balsamella and browned on top.

Brown rice, chickpeas, couscous and courgette are baked with crumbled feta. Fresh mint is divided between the filling and the finish.

Chickpeas, brown rice and couscous are heated with onion and garlic. Yogurt, feta and mint are folded in off the heat.

Feta, courgette and spinach are layered with a mint and dill vinaigrette. Lemon wedges are served alongside.

Feta, courgette and tomato are gently mixed with rocket and lettuce. Parsley and black pepper are included, and the dressed salad is served on a shallow platter.

Courgette and tomato simmer with onion, cumin and tomato purée. Feta and dill are added after cooking.

Fluffy couscous is mixed with feta, finely sliced fennel, radish, cucumber, olives and balsamic vinegar. Serve on crisp olive-oil toasts.

Pan-cooked lamb is folded with lentils, crumbled feta, finely diced radish and mint. Spoon onto crisp toast squares and serve with lemon wedges.

Feta, sweet bell pepper, tomato and rocket are tossed with parsley and balsamic vinaigrette. Lemon wedges are served alongside.
