Adam Liaw’s simple pan-fried garlic bread will go with everything you eat this weekend

I make this garlic butter in a big batch and keep it in the fridge so that garlic bread is always just a piece of toast away.

Savoury tabbouleh quick bread with whipped feta

Soaked for just a few minutes, bulgur wheat lends its characteristic nutty and chewy texture to this savoury quick bread. The addition of a good amount of chopped parsley, lemon juice and olive oil to brighten the flavours gave me the idea that this was a kind of tabbouleh in loaf form. Together with the whipped feta spread and a simple salad of sliced tomatoes, torn mint leaves, olive oil and salt and pepper served alongside, it makes a lovely light lunch.

Tapenade flatbreads with white bean puree and fried capers

Amp up the classic 'bread and dip'. These flatbreads have a spiral of black tapenade through them, and are excellent with more subtly flavoured dips like this bean puree. To cook the flatbreads, you'll need a solid iron or steel griddle, or an uncoated old-fashioned frying pan, as the non-stick finishes aren't to be used over very high heats.
