Cheese and Onion Flan
This British flan isn't quite the same as a quiche, but it could also be called a tart. The difference? Who knows, but it tastes great.

RECIPE
Gingerbread Biscuits / Cookies
Somehow, gingerbread biscuits cut into various shapes have become traditional at Christmas time. They're very easy to make, although the decoration might be a bit of a challenge.

RECIPE
Marmalade Ham
This roast ham glazed with marmalade, ginger and star anise is a splendid addition to the Christmas table - but it works at any time of the year.

RECIPE
Christmas Cake
I've always been put off making Christmas cake by the insistence of purists that you must make it at least five weeks in advance and feed it regularly with brandy to keep it moist. But you can have this cake finished and ready eat in only two days and you'll never know the difference.

RECIPE
Gravadlax Swedish Cured Salmon
Gravadlax - aka gravlax - is cured salmon. It's really easy to make and works out at a fraction of the cost of smoked salmon. Well worth giving it a go.

RECIPE
Salmon Vol-au-vents
Vol-au-vents were the height of sophistication in the 70s but dredged the depths of naffness in later generations. Post-Covid, these little delights are now regaining popularity.

RECIPE
Scrambled Eggs 3 Ways
Scrambled eggs can be a bit tricky to get right using the conventional frying pan method, so here I also give methods for cooking in a microwave or sous-vide.

Keef the Caterpillar Cake
Marks and Spencer introduced their iconic Colin the Caterpillar cake about 30 years ago. It has featured at many a child's birthday party since then and been copied by all the major UK supermarkets. Now Keef Cooks has its own version!

RECIPE
Midget Fidget Pies
The original widget pie comes from Shropshire in England - it's filled with pork and layers of apple and potato. The midget versions are individual-sized and as well as pastry-lidded one, I also show you stuffing and mashed potato alternative tops.

RECIPE
Fidget Pie Pork Apple and Potato Pie
There are many variations to this recipe, especially to do with the filling - some recipes mince the meat and mash it together with the potatoes and apples. Mine keeps them separate and layers them. Sometimes they have a mashed potato or stuffing top.

RECIPE
Chicken Quesadillas
Quesadillas should be really easy - just cheese and other fillings fried or grilled inside a flour or corn tortilla - but getting the cheese melted at the same time as the tortilla is golden takes a bit of practice. Worth it though!

RECIPE
Beef Fajitas
Fajitas are a comparatively recent invention - first made in the 1930s by Mexican cowboys in Texas using the beef they were given as part of their pay, and being commercialised from 1969 onwards. This is a really quick and easy recipe and it tastes great.

RECIPE
Chicken in Cider
This is another Keith Floyd recipe from his TV series Floyd On France - he says it's a well known Breton recipe, although the family he cooked it for had never heard of it. Anyway, serve it with stuffed apples, it's pretty tasty.

Chicken Nasi Goreng
Nasi goreng is a hugely popular meal and officially one of Indonesia's top 5 national dishes. It's also very common in Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and other southeast Asian nations. It's a type of fried rice and it sometimes includes chicken or other protein. This recipe is from 'One Pot' by Dan Toombs.

RECIPE
Beef Rendang
Beef rendang is very popular in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and other south-east Asian states, and there are many variations on it. This one is closely based on the recipe in 'One Pot', the new cookbook by Dan Toombs aka The Curry Guy.

RECIPE
Veal Escalopes with Mustard Sauce - Keith Floyd Recipe
This recipe was featured in episode three of Floyd on France. It's very simple and quite delicious. We use rose veal, which is a higher-welfare meat unlike the old style of veal that involved force-feeding calves with milk.
