Sweetcorn is right up there in my list of favourite vegetables. If I'm busy, I'll happily open a can and eat it directly with a spoon. I love corn on the cob, especially if it's been grilled until golden brown and seasoned with a crack of black pepper. It doesn't even need butter
- I know, sacrilegious.
Right now, it's abundant and at its best. I'm in my element. My recipes, including golden fritters packed with sweet yellow kernels that pop in your mouth with every bite, put this beautiful vegetable front and centre (find the recipe on page 50).
I've also created a quick, simple salad that punches way above its weight, with salty feta bringing out the sweetness of the corn.
And, for something a bit different, try my sweetcorn custard tart guests will be stunned by its use in a dessert.
