This weekend’s recipe crab cakes with wild garlic ranch is a winner as everything can be made ahead of time. It's the perfect snack to serve with drinks or shape into larger patties and pop into a toasted brioche bun for something more substantial.

The accompanying sauce makes the most of my favourite perennial herb being back in season. This wild garlic ranch is the perfect sauce for dipping and dunking.
