To cook the quinoa, bring stock to the boil in a saucepan over high heat. Add quinoa and cook for 12 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside to cool.

Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease 2 baking trays and line with baking paper. Divide artichoke between prepared trays.
Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Roast, stirring halfway, for 1 hour or until tender.
Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Cook, swirling the pan, for 2-3 minutes or until butter foams and turns nut brown. Toss through artichoke and set aside.
Meanwhile, to make the candied walnuts, place walnuts on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Place sugar in a non-stick frypan over medium heat and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, for 5-6 minutes or until golden. Pour caramel over walnuts and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Set aside to cool completely.
For the dressing, combine mustard and verjuice in a bowl. Gradually whisk in walnut oil until well combined. Set aside.

Toss gently. Scatter with chervil and drizzle with remaining dressing to serve.
Place potatoes in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water. Place over high heat and bring to the boil.
Cook for 10-12 mins or until the potatoes are tender. Refresh under cold water. Drain. Cut into quarters.
Meanwhile, cook the sugar snap peas in a medium saucepan of boiling water for 2 mins or until bright green and tender.
Refresh under cold water. Drain well.
To make the green goddess dressing, place mayonnaise, yoghurt, anchovy, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, chives, tarragon and mint in a food processor. Process until mixture is smooth. Season.

1 chorizo, casing removed, thinly sliced
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, toasted
1 bunch coriander, sprigs picked
2 cups watercress
Directions
Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper and arrange sweet potato in a single layer. Drizzle with oil and season. Roast for 25 minutes or until tender and lightly caramelised.

Ingredients
100ml extra virgin olive oil
1½ tbs red wine vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, half crushed, half reserved
4 large peaches, quartered
2 cured chorizos (about 250g in total), halved lengthways
½ baguette, slices diagonally
1 bunch large-leaf rocket, trimmed
1 large (about 125g in total) mozzarella ball, torn
¼ cup (25g) walnuts, toasted, chopped
1 cup basil leaves
Directions
Preheat the barbecue or a grill pan to medium-high heat.
To make a dressing, combine ¼ cup (60ml) oil, vinegar, mustard and crushed garlic in a screwtop jar, season, secure with lid and shake to combine. Set aside
Brush peaches, chorizo and baguette slices with remaining oil. Grill peaches and chorizo cut-side down for 3 minutes or until charred. Turn and cook for 2 minutes or until charred. Set aside on a plate and loosely cover with foil to keep warm. Grill bread a minute each side, then rub one side of each with cut side of reserved garlic.
Cut chorizo pieces into quarters. Place rocket in a large serving bowl with mozzarella, top with chorizo and peaches, scatter with walnuts and basil, drizzle with half the dressing (remaining will keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks) and serve with grilled baguette.
Place 750ml water and sugar in a saucepan with 3 tsp salt and place over medium heat.
Bring to a gentle simmer and remove from heat. Cool, then add lemon slices. Cover with baking paper to ensure lemons are submerged and place back on the lowest heat possible. Cook for 30 minutes, or until the lemon rind has become translucent. Drain, then cool completely in the liquid.
Cut the heirloom tomatoes into quarters and arrange them on a serving platter with the diced watermelon. Add a few slices of the confit lemon and sprinkle with the basil leaves. Season well to taste with salt and cracked black pepper.
Finish by drizzling over the olive oil and lemon juice.
