Once you have prepared your sedated crab (as shown left), bring a large saucepan of well salted water to the boil (about 25–30g salt per 1 litre of water). Examples of Rukmini’s hassle-free, flavour-packed dishes include pork pibil with pink pickled onions (inspired by her time in Central America) and a mash-up of s’mores and rocky road with peanuts, marshmallows and chocolate. There are quick breakfasts, easy lunches, snacks, crowd- pleasing dinners and tempting puddings, all packed with fruit and veg to help you on your way to five-a-day.

The internal body contains a little brown meat, but mainly white meat; the claws and legs contain white meat and the main outer crab shell contains brown meat.

To repair these, soften a little of the leftover pastry in your fingers and plug the holes (as shown), or lay a strip of raw pastry over a crack, being very gentle with the pastry case.This 8 part course covers a wide range of eating occasions and you will cook alongside our skilled Leiths teachers who’ll be lifting the lid on some key fundamental cookery skills and techniques. The cold butter must be vigorously whisked into the reduction to disperse it as finely and evenly as possible as it slowly melts: this is what creates the emulsion. Push down firmly to snap this from the main shell; lift it out and away and discard it (it contains the mouth and stomach).

Place your thumbs at the bottom of the crab on the base of the apron, on either side of the internal body. Learn to confidently cook familiar family favourites, such as Macaroni Cheese with a Cracker and Parsley Crumb, and experiment with vibrant international dishes, including a tasty, flavourful Prawn Pad Thai.Once a unit is unlocked, you’ll have access to that week’s sessions and one of the great things about online learning is that you have the flexibility to choose when you want to cook. Continue in this manner until the sauce is starting to thicken and at least half the butter has been added.

Turn the internal body over and scrape away the brown meat into a bowl, then put the internal body aside and deal with the main shell.
