Roscón De Reyes
Traditionally, the Spanish celebrate Christmas on the 6th of January, when the three Kings arrive and give gifts to the children. Roscón De Reyes is a bread / cake that is eaten at this time. It's similar to brioche, but made in a ring, like a crown, and decorated with candied fruit, like jewels. Roscón De Reyes is also popular in Latin America, where it is known as Rosca De Reyes.

Gingerbread House
A gingerbread house can be a fun thing to make. It can also be torture, because if you haven't had a lot of practise at gingerbread housemaking, many things can go wrong.

Easy Stollen Recipe
This fabulous rich, fruity, German Christmas treat is utterly wonderful and bursting with flavour. As with all breads, you'll be doing quite a lot of kneading and waiting for the dough to rise, but the results are well worth the effort.

RECIPE
Goan Fish Curry
This light and healthy curry from Goa in Southern India is a delight. Coconut gives it sweetness, while tamarind adds a contrasting sourness. It's easy to make and really tasty.

Green Tomato Chutney
The end of summer / beginning of autumn is a time when we look forward to masses of cheap tomatoes from the market, or free tomatoes from our gardens. Unfortunately, if you've had a poor summer (I live in the north of England, so that's pretty much a given) and don't have a greenhouse, your tomatoes may not ripen. But don't worry, you can make this wonderful chutney!

Brawn - Head Cheese - Fromage de Tete
Nose-to-tail eating is a hot topic these days, and brawn is a perfect example of it. The pigs head has a surprising amount of meat in it, and you also get lots of skin, fat and jellied stock to use in other dishes. Pigs heads are also amazingly cheap.

Chinese Pork Spare Ribs / Char Siu Ribs
These ribs are cooked char siu style, which means a long marinade, brief cooking and delicious tender pork.

RECIPE
Chilli Jam
There's a bit of a trend these days for making jam and marmalades out of non-fruity things - chillis and onions being quite prominent. This chilli jam is easy to make and totally wonderful.

Perfect Yorkshire Puddings
Yorkshire puddings are known the world over as the thing you have with roast beef. But making the prefect Yorkshire pudding can be a challenge because of the mythology and folklore that surrounds them.

RECIPE
Onion Rings
I love the idea of onion rings - a crispy batter surrounding a ring of sweet onion. But the things you get from most takeaways are usually disappointly artificial. You have to wonder how much onion they waste to get every ring the exact same size!

RECIPE
Vegetable Chorchori
Chorchori or charchari is a staple of Bengali vegetarian cuisine. It usually consists of around 5 different vegetables sauteed and steamed. The exact selection of veggies depends on what you happen to have available, and you should try to have a range of different textures - crunchy like carrots and radishes, soft like squash, pumpkin and aubergine, and in-between like potatoes, peas and green beans.

RECIPE
Tandoori Chicken
Tandoori Chicken is probably one of the most popular dishes in Indian restaurants in the west. But you need a tandoor to make it, right? Not quite - you can do it on a barbecue or grill, but you can also do it in a standard oven. You won't get the smoky char on it, but it's still pretty good!

RECIPE
Onion Bhaji
Every Indian takeaway and restaurant everywhere has onion bhajis on its menu. They are a fabulous snack or starter, and really easy to make.

RECIPE
Vanilla Fudge
Fudge - sweet, buttery and creamy - this basic fudge recipe is luxurious, not too sweet (is there such a thing?) and completely addictive. Many recipes use condensed or evaporated milk, but this one doesn't - nor does it add chocolate, nuts, berries or kale, it's just basic and delicious fudge.

RECIPE
Hungarian Goulash
Goulash - Magyar Gulyás Leves, is probably one of Hungary's most famous dishes. It's a warming and hearty beef and vegetable soup flavoured with sweet paprika.

RECIPE
Dublin Coddle
The name Irish Coddle or Dublin Coddle, is believed to come from the way it is cooked - like a coddled egg, this sausage, bacon and potato stew is cooked slowly and gently. Simple things are often the best - coddle is really easy to make and utterly delicious.
