We love rhubarb at Clarke’s – it is used in all manner of ways, including ice creams, sorbets and meringues, or simply baked with sweet wine and blood orange juice. This sweet and tangy cake works especially well with a scented tea.

Ricotta replaces butter in this cake and adds moisture, which keeps it tasting fresh for a few days.

You can make this hot and sour prawn soup recipe as mild or as spicy as you like. If you cannot find any fresh kaffir lime leaves (available from Waitrose and Sainsbury’s), add 2 extra strips of finely pared lime peel.
