This savoury brioche bread and butter pudding recipe makes a delicious starter or cheese course. It's served with a gooey slice of Tunworth cheese and a sweet and sharp walnut ketchup. You can select a different soft cheese such as brie if you are catering for vegetarians. The recipe makes more ketchup than needed, but it keeps well in the fridge and is delicious in a cheese or bacon sandwich.

These roasted apricots are so delicious served as a first shared course with charred bread, and straciatella, a creamy style of fresh cheese that’s similar to burrata. They also would work beautifully spooned over roasted chicken thighs, or on top of yoghurt with a muesli crumble for breakfast. They are quite versatile. The key is to use ripe fruit, as underripe apricots can be quite tart. The sweetness is the key, so if they are still a little tart, scatter with more sugar.
