It’s a beautiful day for a layered salad. Here's one I made in the test kitchen. Eat at home or on the go. To avoid soggy leaves, put the dressing in first and the leaves last, then only toss – or tip – when you are ready to serve 🌞

Pots of growing herbs from the supermarket can cost up to £1.50 each! To make them last a few weeks rather than a few days, put them in a deep saucer or bowl and always water from the bottom not the top. Use regularly to encourage new growth.

My tomato, ricotta and basil salad contains just 126 calories a portion and serves two. Sprinkle with a little chopped red chilli for extra ‘heat’.

Tomato, ricotta and basil salad

300g tomatoes, any colour, halved or quartered if large
100g fresh ricotta cheese, drained
handful fresh basil leaves, roughly torn
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp thick balsamic vinegar

Divide the tomatoes between two plates and top with the ricotta cheese, broken into pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Scatter basil leaves over the top and drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar just before serving.

The smell of warm banana bread/cake baking on a grey wet day like today is amazing (assuming you like bananas of course!).

My ‘Easiest Ever Banana Cake’ (photographed in the Test Kitchen garden) is exactly what it claims to be – easy! It’s also a great way to use up over ripe bananas. And there’s no need to eat it all at once - just slice and freeze.

You can find the recipe through the link in bio on @bbcfood, where there is also a video of it being made in the Test Kitchen. Look out for my vegan version there too.

We’ve got salmon on the menu in the Test Kitchen

We’ve got salmon on the menu in the Test Kitchen today. It’s a great source of protein and has a number of other health benefits. This is one of my favourite ways to cook salmon. It can be eaten hot with fresh veg or cooled and used to make a salad – great for a prep-ahead lunch!

Sticky salmon with ginger

1 ball stem ginger in syrup, cut into tiny matchsticks
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp runny honey
couple of pinches dried chilli flakes
2–4 salmon fillets, each around 130g, skin on

1. Put the ginger, soy sauce, honey and chilli flakes in a bowl. Add 1 tbsp of the stem ginger syrup and mix well. Add the salmon and turn to coat in the glaze. 
2. Transfer the salmon to a small baking tray lined with foil, skin side down. (Don’t forget to use the foil – this glaze is seriously sticky!)

3. Season with coarsely ground black pepper and bake for about 12 minutes at fan oven 220C/gas 7, depending on size. (When you take the salmon off the tray, the skin will lift off easily.)
