CALIFORNIA CLUB SANDWICH

Steps:

• To prepare the bread, toast it whichever way you like, in the oven, in a toaster, or under a broiler. Both sides must be toasted.
• Spread one side of each bread slice with mayonnaise. Top two of the bread slices in the following order. Lettuce, two tomato slices, seasoning of salt and pepper (to taste), two slices of bacon, chicken slices, avocado slices, and again a seasoning of salt and pepper to taste.
• Place one layered bread slice chicken side up onto the second layered bread slice and then cover everything with the remaining bread slice mayonnaise side down.
• Secure the sandwich layers by inserting through the top four toothpicks in a diamond-like pattern. Make sure that you've pierced the sandwich all the way to the bottom.
• With a serrated knife, cut the sandwich into four triangular pieces.

• Arrange 3 bread slices in a row. Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise over 1 side of each bread slice. Place a lettuce stack on top of the first bread slice, top with 2 tomato slices, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place 2 slices bacon over the tomatoes (broken to fit neatly if necessary) and top with the chicken (without letting any hang over the sides).
• Add avocado slices & season with a pinch of salt and pepper, to taste. Repeat with the second bread slice. Carefully place the second layered bread slice on top of the first layered bread, chicken side-up. Cover with the third bread slice.
• Pin the sandwich's layers together by piercing them with 4 frill picks or cocktail swords through the top bread slice, in 4 places in a diamond-like pattern, all the way to the bottom bread slice.
• Using a serrated knife cut sandwich, diagonally, into 4 triangular pieces (each piece should be secured in the center with a pick or sword).

CALIFORNIA QUINOA & AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a baking tray with parchment. Tip the butternut squash onto the tray, drizzle with 2 tsp oil and season well. Roast for 20 mins, then push the squash to one end of the tray, add the broccoli to the other end and drizzle with 1 tsp oil. Season and roast for 10 mins more.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing. Put all the ingredients in the small bowl of a food processor, add 1 tbsp water and a pinch of salt. Blitz to make a loose dressing, adding a little more water if necessary.
• Squeeze the pouch of quinoa to separate the grains, then tip into a large bowl. Add the herbs, spring onions, pomegranate seeds and pistachios. Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil, season and toss everything together. Add the roasted veg too.
• Divide the salad between two plates and drizzle over the dressing. Halve the avocado and remove the stone, then slide a dessertspoon between the skin and flesh to remove it in one piece. Place on a chopping board, rounded side up, and thinly slice. Squeeze over the lemon juice, then slide a knife underneath and lift half the avocado onto each salad. Top with the sprouts and grind over a little pepper, if you like.
