Mushroom Risotto
Lovely and creamy and mushroomy and cheesy - this vegetarian risotto is proper comfort food.

Chilli and Lime Chicken with Mushroom Salad
This Thai-inspired chicken marinated in lime juice and chilli is just perfect for a hot summer day. The herb-packed mushroom tabbouleh salad is delicious too. If you don't like mushrooms, you can use avocados instead.

Four Cheese Pizza - Pizza Quattro Formaggi
Four-cheese pizza is a totally wonderful thing - a good variety of cheeses makes for an really tasty pizza.

Meatballs with Tomato Sauce
Most cultures have a dish like this - Spanish albóndigas, British faggots, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern kofte, IKEA Swedish meatballs etc. This recipe is a bit Italian influenced, especially in the tomato sauce that goes with the meatballs.

Sweet and Sour Chicken Balls
This recipe produces the kind of sweet and sour chicken that you would typically get from a Western Chinese takeaway. I very much doubt you could get anything remotely like it in China! But unlike the takeaway version, you'll be eating this when freshly made, so the batter will be crisp, not soggy, and the chicken tender and juicy rather than dry and stringy. And I don't know what takeaways put in the sauce to make it glow in the dark, but this sauce doesn't!

Egg Custard Tart
These egg custard tarts are utterly decadent - packed with all the bad things doctors warn us about. I love 'em.

British Chips
The world has many variations on the theme of deep-fried potatoes, but this is how to make your actual British chips - the ones that go with Fish and... You might think there's no need for a recipe for this, but there are so many ways to do it wrong. This is how to make perfect chips.

Cheese and Onion Pastie
There's something seriously comforting about a hot cheese and onion pastie - all that gooey cheese inside. Yum!

Faggots
Faggots are a traditional British bundle of pork meat and offal, with oats or rusk and a punchy herby/spicy seasoning. Not seen much these days, but definitely worth making.

Vegan Tofu Ravioli
I was wondering how you would make ravioli vegan - turns out you just leave out the eggs. And can tofu ever be interesting? Turns out it can.

Spam Fritters
Spam was very popular in the hungry years following WWII. It was cheap, there was no waste, and you didn't worry too much about what went into it. And if you dip it in batter and fry it, you get something that is actually pretty delicious.

Blueberry Pie Possibly Vegan
Blueberries can be quite expensive, but if you buy them in season, they are affordable. This recipe works equally well with blackberries. I say this is 'possibly' vegan because it depends on your margarine. Avoid ones that contain whey or vitamin D3.

Roast Lamb and Mint Sauce
The Sunday roast is a great British tradition that sadly seems to be dying out. Roast Lamb - shoulder or leg - is a wonderful thing, especially when accompanied by a dollop of home-made mint sauce.

Aloo Gobi: Potato and Cauliflower Curry
Aloo Gobi is one of India's most popular vegetarian dishes, and if you use oil instead of ghee it's also vegan. The large number of ingredients may be off-putting, but stick with it - it's worth it!

Bubble and Squeak
Bubble and squeak is a brilliant way to use up leftover mashed potatoes and vegetables. It goes really well with a Full English Breakfast, although you hardly ever see it in cafés.

Scotch Broth
Scotch Broth is a traditional Scottish meal - halfway between a soup and stew. It's a perfect comforting winter warmer. The lamb should be scraggy and fatty (don't be squeamish about fat - it's essential to this dish), and you can use any combination of root vegetables that you like.
