This levelled-up damper from Adam Liaw has a mix of spinach, cheese and herbs folded through it, for extra flavour. Looks great too. Slather with butter for extra 'gold'.

Oh yesss! Cooked gnocchi gets pan-fried until they are all crisp-edged and golden, and then tossed with a punchy homemade watercress pesto. It looks great and it's a flavour party in your mouth too. Definitely, one to cheer about.

The coating of chopped pistachios gives these summery ice creams the green and gold touch. These icy poles freeze to be quite solid and melt rather slowly, so they're surprisingly transportable (and picnic-friendly, too).

A twist on the classic, these have a light golden sponge inside, sandwiched with black sesame cream and coated in a matcha ganache and desiccated coconut. You can add matcha powder to the coconut for a stronger green colour.
