Mangoes

'These really remind me of my gran and grandad, who came from the Caribbean.'

Black pitted olives

'My children are fans of these – you have to start them young! They’ll happily eat olives as a snack with some cheese, and we put them on homemade pizzas.'

Alpro soya vanilla 

'I’m not dairy intolerant but I really like the taste of this alternative to yogurt. It's good with fruit, or on the side of a sponge cake.'

Tabasco

'A few drops of this spices up anything. I remember my grandad putting this on my thumb when I was little, to stop me sucking it!'

Crushed pineapple

'I always have a tin of this in the cupboard – it’s my secret ingredient for an extra-juicy carrot cake.'

Brussels sprouts

'My husband, Michael, loves Brussels sprouts – he’ll eat them all year round, not just at Christmas! We have a rule that the children have to eat as many sprouts as their age.'

Campbell's cream of mushroom soup

'I use this as a cheat’s creamy sauce when I’m making my tuna pasta bake. It tastes so good.'

Rooster potatoes

'My family adores chips! We recently bought an air-fryer so we can make healthier ones, and these potatoes crisp up well.'

Sprinklers

'I lived in the baking aisle while I was writing my cookbook! I love to get the sprinkles out and bake with the children, but it's also therapeutic to do it on my own.'
