Pork

If japanese curry powder is unavailable, any mild flavoured curry powder can be used. Note

This tomato chilli jam is deliciously versatile ­use it as a condiment in sandwiches, to pep-up stir-fries or as a glaze for chicken, fish or lamb fillets or skewers. Note

Some butchers sell a pork and veal mince mixture; you could buy 500g of this, if it’s available. Note

Also goes well with grilled pork sausages; barbecued veal steaks; pan-fried chicken breasts. Note

Delicious sweet and spicy Asian-style ribs are great for summer barbecues and dinner parties.

Sprinkle with nuts, season to taste. Note

If you have time, the pork mixture at the end of step 1 can be marinated for a few hours or overnight in the fridge. Note

Ask your butcher to score the rind, 1cm apart, across the pork in the same direction as you will slice, to make carving easier. Note
