Chilli Potato Bake
This dish features a basic British-style chilli con carne sauce - it's very mild and has nothing much to do with American versions. The chilli is layered with sliced potato, topped with cheese and is pure comfort food.

Vesta® Chow Mein Copycat
I recently reviewed a packet of Vesta® Chow Mein and found it totally disgusting. This version is 3½ million times better - very tasty and quite easy to make. It's not much like a true beef chow mein, but then neither is the Vesta version.

Steak and Kidney Fray Bentos® Copycat
I reviewed a Fray Bentos® 'pie' recently and was asked by some viewers if I could have a go at making one. I have to say the steak and kidney filling was magnificent, but the puff pastry lid is always going to be a problem.

Hot Cross Buns For Easter
Hot cross buns are traditionally eaten at Easter time, specifically on Good Friday. Served warm with a generous dollop of melting butter, they are delicious.

Chicken and Stuffing Pie
This is a 'picnic' version of chicken and stuffing pie. Like a pork pie, it's intended to be eaten cold. There's no sauce to dribble everywhere, but we have used a little trick to keep the chicken moist.

Air Fryer Pork Chops with Honey Mustard Sauce
Our infatuation with air fryers continues, this time with a simple recipe for pork chops and honey mustard sauce. Air fryer pork chops are juicy, delicious and simple to make. And you can roast some spuds and other veg at the same time.

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.

Pork Chow Mein
Chow mein must be one of the most popular dishes in western Chinese restaurants. It's very easy to make and seriously tasty. You could also make it with chicken, beef, prawns or tofu.

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.

How to make Butter and Buttermilk
There's something very satisfying about making your own butter at home, with the added benefit that you get some buttermilk too.

Air Fryer Seeded Wholemeal Bread
Air fryers are much more versatile than many people think. In this recipe we use one to both prove the dough and bake the bread.
