Christmas Pizza
Christmas dinner pizza sounds weird - let's be honest, it IS weird - but it's very tasty and easy to put together, especially if you use a pre-made pizza base.

Eggnog
Eggnog is thought to have evolved from posset in the 13th Century. Egg nog is very popular in the US and Canada, but less so in the UK. Eggnog is very easy to make and tastes delicious - it's almost like an alcoholic custard made from eggs, milk, cream and dark spritis such as rum, brandy or Bourbon.

Christmas Burger
As Christmas approaches, I've noticed burger shops, especially independent ones, creating their own version of a Christmas burger. Many of them are not very Christmassy. I decided to create my own, using as many of the elements of a traditional Christmas dinner as possible.

Wagon Wheels | Moon Pies
Wagon Wheels, almost identical to the US Moon Pies, are a childhood treat. But like many things you remember having as a child, the modern version seems smaller and, to a grown-up palate, unbearably sweet. However, if you make your own, they can be any size you like, not too sweet, and they're not actually difficult to make.

Hunter's Chicken
Whenever I've had hunter's chicken in a pub, the chicken breast has always been dry and unpleasant. With my recipe, we have cheese inside and a wrapping of bacon outside to keep the chicken deliciously moist. Add more cheese on top and some barbecue sauce and you have a quick and tasty meal.

Buttermilk Pancakes
These thick pancakes may look stodgy and dense, but they're not. A good whack of bicarb makes them rise like a sponge cake, so they're light and fluffy. I've called them 'buttermilk' pancakes, but you can just as well make them with whey, which is a terrific way to use up the remnants if you're making cheese or yoghurt.

Poutine
The minute I first read about poutine I knew I had to try some. The problem is, it hasn't really reached the UK yet, and cheese curds are almost impossible to get hold of. However, if you have a bit of patience you can make your own curds - it's well worth it!

Sausage Plait
This doesn't seem to belong to any particular cuisine - it was probably invented by a pastry manufacturer. It can look very attractive, and is certainly very tasty.

Yorkshire Fishcake
In some parts of Yorkshire, when you ask a fish and chip shop for a fishcake, you'll get one of these. They originate from Sheffield and consist of a layer of fish (usually tail-ends and other offcuts) sandwiched between 2 slices of potato, coated in batter and deep-fried.

Homemade Mozzarella
It's hard to imagine a pizza without mozzarella. This wonderful traditional Italian cheese is now made all over the world. It has a fairly short shelf-life and really is best consumed when it's fresh. And you can't get fresher than home-made.

Chocolate Eclairs
Chocolate eclairs have been around in France since the mid-19th century. The name 'eclair' means 'flash', as in flash of lightning, which is about the amount of time it takes to eat one of these choux pastry, cream and chocolate treats.

Homemade French Baguettes
Making baguettes at home might seem to be an impossible thing, but it really isn't. There's a lot of steps involved in the fermenting/proving of the dough, so this recipe is basically short bursts of activity interspersed with longish periods of waiting. But a homemade baguette, fresh from the oven, is a thing of wonder!

Homemade Sushi
Sushi is very popular in Japan, and has been for centuries. It provides a nutritious and healthy meal, easily eaten with the fingers. And it's quite easy to make.

Glamorgan Sausages
Okay, this isn't really a sausage - that would entail a meaty filling encased in a skin. This is a traditional dish of breadcrumbs, cheese and leeks formed into the shape of a sausage. It originates in Glamorgan, Wales, and is delicious.

Jam Doughnuts
Who doesn't love a doughnut (apart from doctors, dentists, nutritionists)? These doughnuts are filled with jam and, well, too sweet for me! But fun to make nevertheless.

Black Forest Gateau
In Germany any cake that wants to call itself Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte must contain kirschwasser, a clear spirit made from sour cherries. Don't worry if you can't get that, any kind of cherry liqueur will do, or even plain brandy. Black forest gateau consists of layers of booze-soaked sponge, cherry jam, cherries, cream, and lots of chocolate.
