Ratatouille
You might call this the embodiment of the Mediterranean diet - fresh summer vegetables, olive oil, healthy etc. There doesn't seem to be anything like an 'authentic' version of ratatouille, but this one is slow-cooked and packed with rich flavours.

Chocolate Truffles
Chocolate truffles come in three different styles - dusted with cocoa powder, encrusted in crushed nuts, or encased in hard dark chocolate, but they all share a common filling of chocolate ganache. In this recipe, I show you how to make the chocolate-coated truffles.

Lancashire Hotpot
Traditionally, Lancashire hotpot would be made using tough old mutton, hence the long cooking time. Mutton is hard to find these days, so you can use lamb, cutlets, neck or shin, on the bone if possible.

Chicken with Cashew Nuts
Chicken with Cashew Nuts is one of the standards of Western Chinese takeaways and it's usually pretty bland. But this recipe takes some Thai influences and turns it into a delicious dish.

Vegan Banana and Lime Cake
While I wouldn't ever volunteer to adopt a Vegan diet / lifestyle (or even vegetarian, come to that), it is possible to make some pretty good food without using animal products. This unctuous eggless banana cake with a zing of lime is one of those things. Yum!

Roast Pork Belly with Fennel Seeds
Pork belly is a reasonably priced cut of meat, but it does need a long, slow roast to bring out the best in it. The aniseed notes of the fennel seeds complement the pork perfectly, and the cider in the gravy makes it sing.

Chocolate Fondant
Chocolate fondant has a bit of a reputation for being difficult, mainly because whenever contestants on cooking shows like Masterchef try it, they tend to fail. The reason is simple: chocolate fondant needs to be baked so that the exterior is firmly set, while the centre is still gooey and delicious, and if you don't know your oven it's very difficult to pull off.

Moo Ping - Thai Pork Skewers
Moo Ping (literally Grilled Pork) are little skewers of porky deliciousness, and probably Thailand's most popular street food.

Tuna Salad
I usually find it hard to get excited about salads, but this tuna salad is actually delicious.

French Fries
French fries are very different beasts from proper chips (note for Americans - 'chips' are stciks of fried potato, bigger than french fries). But sometimes you might crave them. This is how to make fries like fast-food restaurants make them.

Tomato Ketchup
Tomato ketchup (or catsup) is an essential food group for many people - they put it on everything. I think that's a bit excessive, but I do like it with chips or french fries, and sometime on a burger. If you make your own, you can get a more robust flavour and texture than the commercially produced stuff.

Patatas a lo Pobre - Poor Man's Potatoes
Patatas a lo Pobre, also known as Papas a lo Pobre is a very simple potato and pepper dish from Andalusia in the south of Spain. The name means Poor Man's Potatoes, and like many peasant dishes, its simplicity is what makes it wonderful.

Mexican Bean Salad
Bean salad doesn't sound like the most exciting or appetizing thing on earth. But this version, with a coriander and lime dressing, some sweetcorn and peppers, is vibrantly colourful and really tasty.

Cherry Pie
When you have a glut of fruit, you can make jam, or pies. Or in this case, both. This cherry pie features a beautiful woven lattice top.

Chantilly Cream
Chantilly cream is simply whipped cream with vanilla and sugar added. It's really easy to make, and totally addictive.

Cherry Jam
When you have a glut of fruit, there's nothing better to do with it than to make jam. You might think making jam is difficult, but this recipe is actually really easy.
