Delicious and filling, yet so simple, this is an inexpensive meal for breakfast, lunch or even dinner

Rare-cooked steak with herbs, leaves, roasted peanuts and a delicious lime and chilli dressing

This golden pastry roll is a delicious vehicle for festive leftovers

This comforting pasta gratin works just as well with chicken or ham as it does with turkey

From spiced treacle bannocks to a mouthwatering lemon cake and iced finger buns

Open your mind to cooking the thrifty fish in new ways, not just in Portuguese and Italian dishes

This is not an authentic Sri Lankan recipe, but an attempt at putting together some favourite foods – I love pumpkin in the winter – with tamarind.

Braised artichoke, poulet au vin blanc and Spanish lamb are just the ticket for warm spring evenings

This classic combination unlocks a world of easy and adaptable dinners, from fragrant pilaf to Chinese-style fried rice

One of the best midweek meals (and – hurrah – one that the kids have taken to as well).

This fuss-free menu of pumpkin gnocchi, sheet-pan chicken with leeks, roast cod and spiced prawns is big on flavour but takes little effort

I love this.

I’ve never been keen on the Italian dish of pork cooked in milk, but this is of an entirely different order.

This is a good dish for Christmas Eve as it can be prepared in advance and reheated (in fact, it tastes better if you make it in advance and stick it in the fridge).

Looking back on the menus she’s cooked for loved ones over the years, we have decided that simplicity is best

An English-ale soaked Christmas pudding, autumn fruit jelly and a spiced vodka are the perfect gifts for foodies this year
