CHERRY TOMATO CANAPES WITH GOAT CHEESE AND CAVIAR

Steps:

• Cut the base off each of the cherry tomatoes and scoop out the seeds. Put them, cut side down and sit on kitchen paper to absorb any tomato juices from inside.
• In a bowl, mix together the goat's cheese, cream and chopped chives and season with salt and pepper. This can now be spooned or piped (piping looks more stylish and professional) into the hollowed-out tomatoes.
• Cut the chives for the garnish into 1cm lengths. Top each tomato with a little caviar and a couple of pieces of chive.

BAKED GOAT CHEESE PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Add the tomatoes, garlic, shallot, oregano and red pepper flakes to a 9 x 13 baking dish. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss to combine. Nestle the goat cheese in the dish among the other ingredients and drizzle with the last tablespoon of olive oil. Bake until the tomatoes have blistered and the goat cheese has melted slightly, 22 to 25 minutes.
• While the tomatoes and goat cheese bake, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water, and set aside.
• Remove the tomatoes and goat cheese from the oven. Add the pesto and begin tossing everything together, breaking up the goat cheese as you go and adding a little pasta water, until you have a creamy consistency. Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat. Serve hot garnished with the fresh basil.

CHICKEN, GOAT'S CHEESE & CHERRY TOMATO BAKE

Steps:

• Halve the cherry tomatoes and scatter around the chicken with a few more sprigs of thyme, a drizzle of olive oil and splash of white wine. Season with pepper, and salt if you wish.
• Bake for 25-30 mins until the chicken is tender and golden. Serve with Saffron wild rice (recipe right).

GOAT'S CHEESE-STUFFED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Use a small, sharp knife to remove the tops from the cherry tomatoes, and reserve for serving. Using a small teaspoon, remove the seeds from the tomatoes. Trim the bases of the tomatoes so they sit flat.
• Combine the goat's cheese, single cream, toasted pine nuts and chopped basil leaves, then season. Spoon mixture inside each tomato and top with extra small basil leaves. Replace the reserved lids and serve.

CHERRY TOMATOES WITH CREAM AND CAVIAR

Steps:

• Remove any stems from the cherry tomatoes. Turn them stem-side down on a cutting board or other work surface. Carefully slice off the top third of each tomato, reserving these pieces for another use.
• Stir the sour cream or creme fraiche to make it smooth. Using a small spoon, dab a scant teaspoon of the cream carefully and neatly on the top of each tomato.
• Using the tip of a knife, place a tiny dab of the caviar on the cream. Arrange the tomatoes on a platter and serve, or refrigerate for up to one-half hour before serving.

• Place chorizo in a separate bowl. Chop goat cheese, then crush it and mix it in with the chorizo.
• Drain pasta and transfer to a large bowl. Add chorizo-goat cheese mixture; stir until cheese is melted and pasta is coated. Then put the vegetables into the pasta and stir to combine.
