Bara Brith
Bara brith is a very traditional tea-flavoured fruit loaf from Wales. Originally, bara brith would be made with a yeasted dough, but this version uses self-raising flour as a raising agent. It's a very easy thing to make, and very tasty.

Rag Pudding
Chances are, you've never heard of rag pudding, unless you're familiar with the area around Manchester, specifically Oldham. Rag pudding is a lot like steak and kidney pudding, except it's steamed in a cloth (or rag, hence the name) rather than a bowl or basin. Another popular filling for rag pudding is minced beef and onion.

Staffordshire Oatcakes
Staffordshire oatcakes are hugely popular in the Potteries area of North Staffs. They are basically pancakes of oatmeal and flour, leavened with yeast, and they are delicious stuffed with bacon and melted cheese.

Bobotie with Yellow Rice
Bobotie (pronounced ba-boor-tea) was invented by Malaysians in the Cape Town area of South Africa as far back as the 17th Century. Today it's considered to be South Africa's national dish, and with good reason. It's absolutely delicious, pure comfort food.

Fried Green Tomatoes and Remoulade Sauce
Most people have probably heard of the book and film Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café. But if you don't live in the US, especially the southern states, you might not have had the chance to try them. If you do get your hands on some big green tomatoes, do give this a try - it's really easy, and tastes a whole lot better than it sounds.

Welsh Cakes
At the risk of upsetting the good people of Wales, imagine a scone, not baked in the oven, but cooked on a hot stone or griddle plate. That's a Welsh cake, also known as a griddle cake. Amazingly quick and easy to make, and delicious with a nice cup of tea.

Summer Pudding
This unlikely-sounding dessert is an excellent way to use up a late summer glut of berries and soft fruits. Summer pudding is seriously easy to make and tastes fabulous. It's probably quite healthy too.

Bacon Cheese Mushroom Quiche / Flan / Tart
If you think real men don't eat quiche, you're missing out - this one is rich with eggs, bacon, cheese and mushrooms in a tasty pastry case. It's pretty easy to make and perfect on a hot summer's day with some salad.

Salmon Fishcakes
I don't know of any historical or regional background to these delicious fishcakes, but they are easy to make, proper comfort food. You can use leftover mash, or fresh. And canned salmon, or fresh.

Shakshuka Tomato and Egg Breakfast
Shakshuka seems to have originated in Morocco and spread across the north of Africa to Israel and other parts of the Middle East. From there it's spread into Western countries and Yotam Ottolenghi probably had a lot to do with that. Wherever it came from, it's easy to make, and delicious. Shakshuka is similar to the Mexican Huevos Rancheros, and the Italian Eggs in Purgatory.

Loaded Potato Skins - Bacon and Cheese
I've always loved a simple baked potato, just cut open and stuff with things like butter and salt, baked beans and cheese, maybe some chilli con carne if you were feeling exotic. But the loaded potato skin takes a simple baked potato to a whole new level.

Porchetta / Hot Pork Roll
Slow-roasted pork belly must be one of the most delicious things ever, and also pretty cheap. Historically, porchetta was a whole boned and rolled suckling pig spit-roasted over a fire. This one is a bit more manageable - pork belly with plenty of herbs, rolled and slow-roasted. Then served in a bun with crackling, stuffing and gravy. Dirty, drippy and decadent.

Homemade Crisps
I am always baffled that the English-speaking world can't agree on what is a potato chip, and what is a crisp. But then neither can the Spanish, where 'patatas fritas' means both chips and crisps. I digress. We love to eat these crunchy little things, and they are surprisingly easy to make at home. Why not give it a go!

Leftover Turkey Curry
Leftover turkey. What to do with it? Well, you can do many things, but this leftover turkey curry is quick and easy, and very tasty. I've deliberately kept the spicing simple to make it easier.

Beef Tacos
Tacos spread from Mexico to the US and hit the mainstream when Glenn Bell began opening his Taco Bell restaurants. I don't claim any kind of authenticity for this recipe, it's just a simple adaptation that's really easy to make and absolutely delicious.

Cheese and Mushroom Omelettes
A basic omelette is incredibly quick and easy to make, and makes a delicious breakfast or light lunch. You can use pretty much anything in your filling, but things like cheese, ham or bacon and veggies like mushrooms, spinach and onions go particularly well.
