description: From Greek-inspired cakes to Spanish-style slices and Italian snacks, these Mediterranean bakes will whisk you away for ultimate holiday feels
encoded: Looking to add a bit of sunshine to your afternoon tea spread? Want to indulge in a spot of Italian baking? End a meal of meze sharing plates with one of theses cakes, bakes or sweet treats and dream of bathing on a Mediterranean island. Mediterranean-style baking recipes Fragrant orange portokalopita This syrup-soaked cake from Edd Kimber is inspired by the sunshine flavours of Crete. Cannoli Create a batch of homemade cannoli for a sweet Italian treat for your next dinner party, served with a shot of espresso. Portuguese custard tarts Make classic Portuguese custard tarts Pastéis de Nata with step-by-step help from the test kitchen. Dusting the pastry with icing sugar gives the tarts a golden, caramelised crust when cooked. Loukoumades (Greek doughnuts) One of the pleasures of a Greek holiday comes in those moments after dark (and after dinner) when everyone moves to the tables in a local square to drink coffee and eat plates of tiny cinnamon-scented doughnuts. Whether your preference is for the sugar-dusted variety or those soaked in honey, try making them at home for a crowd-pleasing dessert with a difference. Check out more doughnut recipes here. Effortless madeleine 'baba' Cut corners with this cheat on a rum baba – it’s simple to make, and you can use whichever rum you like. Sicilian ricotta cake This impressive Sicilian ricotta cake will steal the show at dinner, with chunks of chocolate studded through creamy baked ricotta. It's deceptively easy to make, too. Baklava Try our version of baklava, drenched it in a salted honey sauce. This sweet and sticky filo pastry treat comes packed with four types of nut, cardamom and cinnamon. Italian lemon cake Amalfi lemons give a strong, intense lemony aroma in our Italian cake recipe, making a fitting summery cake which is a real crowd pleaser, too. Tres leches cake with rum and toasted coconut Tres leches is translated from Spanish as ‘three milks cake’, where evaporated milk and cream are used alongside condensed mi…

Best new London restaurant openings 2026 Meet Bros, Shoreditch Most steakhouses serve wine. Meet Bros doesn't, and that's the point. This Malaysian-British collaboration between Palace Butcher Resources and the Serai Group is fully halal-certified and entirely alcohol-free, and it wears both facts as a badge of identity rather than a footnote. The Shoreditch site, neighbouring Legado and Singburi, is the second, following Paddington, and the menu pulls premium beef into a punchy partnershjp with Southeast Asian flavour. We started with pulled duck pancakes – hoisin and crispy chilli oil slicked and loaded with spring onion and cucumber; then sweet spicy chicken wings with Thai danok, the sauce worth knowing about. It's a nam jim style condiment: tamarind for body and sourness, palm sugar, chilli and fish sauce hitting salty and spicy in turn. On grilled meat, it's banging. Mains were a shared wagyu striploin and BBQ lamb ribs. The wagyu (sourced from Australia, where it isn’t fed beer, in keeping with the halal commitment) comes with the option of house Asian marinade or straight salt and pepper. It is an astonishing piece of beef (and, to be fair, a price to match): deeply marbled, a cut that makes you sigh and swoon, flooding your mouth with beefy unctuousness. Lamb ribs are a great compa…

Wholemeal flour has more iron and zinc than white flour, and it contains more vitamins and minerals overall. Wholemeal flour gives baked goods a nutty, robust flavour and a denser texture.

Feta cheese is a brined cheese made from sheep's milk and originating from Greece. It's characteristically tangy, salty flavour and crumbly texture make it a staple in many Mediterranean-style dishes including salads and filo pastries as well as pasta and other warm dishes. It can be served cold cut up into squares in a salad or sprinkled over dishes as crumbs. It can also be baked or grilled whole and combined with sweet toppings like honey or sprinkled with herbs like oregano. How long does feta last? A pack of unopened, vacuum-sealed feta can last up to three months in the fridge. Once opened, it should be consumed within a week and kept in its original brine or another saltwater solution to maintain its moisture and freshness. Without brine, feta tends to dry out quickly and should be used within a few days. For longer term storage, feta can be frozen for up to six months, though this may alter its texture slightly, making it more crumbly.

encoded: Long weekends are made for lingering lunches, laidback dinners and dishes worth gathering around. These spring showstoppers brings bold flavours to the table while keeping things low-effort and shareable – think an easy one-pot, punchy roast and build-your-own raclette spread. And, because no celebration is complete without something sweet, there’s a boozy lemon dessert to round things off in style. Discover more recipes for entertaining this season, consider a few unexpected ideas for hosting guests, or replicate private chef Nisha Parmar's vibrant sharing menu for a simple yet impressive three-course dinner at home. Slow-cooked spiced lamb with orzo This effortless one-pot is cooked with fragrant spices of cinnamon and allspice, which don't overpower, but provide gentle warmth. Fresh herbs, feta and lemon lift the finished dish. Bring the platter to the table for maximum wow-factor. Cowboy butter-roasted chicken A punchy butter instantly boosts the flavour of roast chicken. Spatchcocking the bird means it roasts evenly and fast – and, it's much easier to carve for guests. Serve with skinny fries and a vinegary salad to cut through the richness, and don't forget to spoon over all the buttery roasting juices. Raclette party This is a great way to serve a mix-and-match spread for friends. Traditionally, you'd serve raclette simply with boiled potatoes, charcuterie and pickles, but we've added a few extra flourishes to make your guests feel you've worked extra hard! You can buy various raclette sets, but you can also use small heatproof frying pans or dishes. Boozy lemon meringue trifle This zingy spring trifle is made with mostly ready-made ingredients, then finished with marshmallowy Italian meringue. Using hot sugar syrup means the meringue is 'cooked' and becomes much more stable. We think it's worth the extra effort, but if you want a simpler finish, you could pile up some shop-bought meringues and whipped cream instead.
