Stargazy Pie
This unique fish pie was invented in the Cornish village of Mousehole (pronounced Maow-zell). Legend has it that one very stormy winter the villagers were starving because the fishing boats couldn't go out. But one day the heroic Tom Bawcock did manage to get his boat out and his catch was baked into a huge pie for all the village to share. The heads of the sardines or pilchards were left sticking out to prove that there were fish in the pie.

Beef Short Rib and Leek Hotpot
We're still at the back end of winter, so here's a warming, meaty stew. Beef short ribs can be hard to find, and they do need a good long braise to get them fall-off-the-bone tender. Cooking them in a slow-cooker or crockpot is handy if you have plenty of time, or you can use a pressure cooker to dramatically reduce the cooking time.

Air Fryer Full English Breakfast
The full cooked breakfast is a classic of British cuisine and it has grown from the mid-20th century bacon, eggs and sausage to include a number of other elements - black pudding, baked beans, tomatoes, mushrooms and hash browns (controversial!). There are also variations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Being mostly fried, the cooked breakfast has a reputation for being greasy and unhealthy, but this airfryer version fixes that.

Chicken Yakitori
In Japan there are whole restaurants devoted to Yakitori - the name simply means 'grilled bird' or 'grilled meat'. Chicken is the most common type of yakitori, and all parts of the bird are used. In this recipe I've chosen to only use chicken thighs, the juiciest, tastiest meat on a chicken. Yakitori chicken with spring onions is called negima in Japan.

Döner Kebab
The idea of the döner kebab - a huge cylinder of spiced meat thinly sliced as it rotates in front of a hot grill - comes from Turkey originally. The meat is generally lamb or chicken, and in the UK it's served with salad in a split-open pitta bread and drizzled with garlic mayonnaise or a hot chilli sauce. If you want to make your own, so you know the actual meat that went into it, here's my recipe.

Pitta Bread
Have you ever bought pitta bread from a supermarket and wondered if the creators have even tried the real thing? I'm not someone who thinks that supermarket bread is always bad, but I've never had a decent pitta from a supermarket. Anyway. not to worry, it's quite easy to make your own.

English Muffins
English muffins are an old type of bread roll that are quite popular in the English-speaking world. Do not confuse them with the American cake-type thing of the same name. English mufins are griddled (cooked without oil on a hotplate) rather than baked.
