There’s certainly no lack of style when Angela Steur, design director of Design of the Times (011 447 2258), entertains. Here are her recipes for a stress-free summer spread

ARTICHOKES WITH LEMON BUTTER SAUCE

INGREDIENTS

  • 8 artichokes
  • 120g butter
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 egg yolks

METHOD

1. Top and tail the artichokes and remove the thorny bits. Boil them in salt water for 20 minutes.
2. To make the lemon butter sauce: melt the butter in a saucepan and add the lemon juice. Remove from the heat and slowly drizzle into a bowl containing the egg yolks, whisking as you pour.
3. Serve the artichokes slightly warm on a platter drizzled with the sauce, keeping some aside to serve in little bowls for dipping.
