Light and warmth are what we are celebrating this first week of spring, as we become as fickle as the weather, swapping between light, fresh meals one day and something rich and hearty the next.

Warren has pulled out the hot stuff for those days the sun doesn't have its hat on. Peppercorns put the heat in to this Italian-style beef and goat stew. Chorizo adds colour and spice to fried potatoes, green chilli relish can be used to fire up sandwiches, hotdogs, burgers and meat-based meals, and wasabi wakes up the avo on toast. But perhaps we don't need to find warmth elsewhere this spring.
