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!

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.

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.

English Pouring Custard - Creme Anglaise
I've always found custard pretty tricky to make the conventional way - a lot can go wrong, and it takes quite a bit of practice to get right. In this recipe, I'll show you the traditional way, and also a foolproof method using a sous vide machine.

RECIPE
Spotted Dick
Spotted Dick is one of the classic British puddings. Thanks to the suet, it is actually quite light in texture, and utterly comforting. And it's got fruit in it, so it's one of your 5 a day!

Chilli and Cheese Burritos with Home-made Flour Tortillas
Burritos can contain pretty much anything, but the key thing is a good flour tortilla - the best ones are home-made, so I'm showing you how to do that here.

Spätzle
If you ever get bored of potatoes, rice or pasta for your carbs hit, try spätzle. It's yummy! By the way, it's pronounced something like 'shpetzly'.

RECIPE
Chilli and Lime Chicken with Mushroom Salad
This Thai-inspired chicken marinated in lime juice and chilli is just perfect for a hot summer day. The herb-packed mushroom tabbouleh salad is delicious too. If you don't like mushrooms, you can use avocados instead.

Four Cheese Pizza - Pizza Quattro Formaggi
Four-cheese pizza is a totally wonderful thing - a good variety of cheeses makes for an really tasty pizza.

RECIPE
Meatballs with Tomato Sauce
Most cultures have a dish like this - Spanish albóndigas, British faggots, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern kofte, IKEA Swedish meatballs etc. This recipe is a bit Italian influenced, especially in the tomato sauce that goes with the meatballs.

RECIPE
Sweet and Sour Chicken Balls
This recipe produces the kind of sweet and sour chicken that you would typically get from a Western Chinese takeaway. I very much doubt you could get anything remotely like it in China! But unlike the takeaway version, you'll be eating this when freshly made, so the batter will be crisp, not soggy, and the chicken tender and juicy rather than dry and stringy. And I don't know what takeaways put in the sauce to make it glow in the dark, but this sauce doesn't!

RECIPE
Egg Custard Tart
These egg custard tarts are utterly decadent - packed with all the bad things doctors warn us about. I love 'em.
