Starter
Sweet and Sour Slaw
This eye-popping slaw makes for a great starter or side; loaded with crunchy red cabbage and red, yellow and orange peppers, it has a moreish texture and a vibrant flavour. Make this dish up to 2 hours in advance and enjoy playing host.
Main course
Tequila and Lime Chicken
Just like Nigella’s sweet and sour slaw, this tequila and lime chicken can be prepared in advance and is a riot of colours and flavours. Serve up with guacamole, green salad and perhaps a sweet potato or two.
Dessert
No-churn Matcha Ice Cream
Creamy, refreshing and oh-so simple, this matcha ice cream is a revelation. Nigella suggests serving it in scoops, just as is, or with her molten chocolate babycakes from How To Be A Domestic Goddess.
