Cheese and Onion Pastie
There's something seriously comforting about a hot cheese and onion pastie - all that gooey cheese inside. Yum!

RECIPE
Vegan Tofu Ravioli
I was wondering how you would make ravioli vegan - turns out you just leave out the eggs. And can tofu ever be interesting? Turns out it can.

RECIPE
Spam Fritters
Spam was very popular in the hungry years following WWII. It was cheap, there was no waste, and you didn't worry too much about what went into it. And if you dip it in batter and fry it, you get something that is actually pretty delicious.

RECIPE
Blueberry Pie Possibly Vegan
Blueberries can be quite expensive, but if you buy them in season, they are affordable. This recipe works equally well with blackberries. I say this is 'possibly' vegan because it depends on your margarine. Avoid ones that contain whey or vitamin D3.

RECIPE
Roast Lamb and Mint Sauce
The Sunday roast is a great British tradition that sadly seems to be dying out. Roast Lamb - shoulder or leg - is a wonderful thing, especially when accompanied by a dollop of home-made mint sauce.

RECIPE
Aloo Gobi: Potato and Cauliflower Curry
Aloo Gobi is one of India's most popular vegetarian dishes, and if you use oil instead of ghee it's also vegan. The large number of ingredients may be off-putting, but stick with it - it's worth it!

RECIPE
Bubble and Squeak
Bubble and squeak is a brilliant way to use up leftover mashed potatoes and vegetables. It goes really well with a Full English Breakfast, although you hardly ever see it in cafés.

RECIPE
Scotch Broth
Scotch Broth is a traditional Scottish meal - halfway between a soup and stew. It's a perfect comforting winter warmer. The lamb should be scraggy and fatty (don't be squeamish about fat - it's essential to this dish), and you can use any combination of root vegetables that you like.

RECIPE
Carrot and Coriander Soup
Carrot and coriander soup is easy to make, warming, healthy and hearty. And home-made soups are always better than shop-bought, aren't they?

RECIPE
Fish Finger Sandwich
I almost feel guilty about doing this recipe. It's so simple, you would think it's impossible to get wrong. And yet many places do - gastro-pubs in particular with their goujons of fish, sourdough, baguette or ciabatta breads. This is how to do it right.

RECIPE
No-bake Raspberry Cheesecake
Cheesecake is an amazingly simple thing that combines amazing textures and flavours - crunchy buttery biscuit base, slightly sweet, gooey and rich soft cheese filling, and the sweetness of whatever you put on top.

RECIPE
Steak and Kidney Pie
Steak and kidney is what I think of whenever pie is mentioned. The tender beef and tasty kidney in a rich oniony gravy is just perfect when packed inside a crispy hot water pastry crust - top and bottom, of course. It really is a British classic.

RECIPE
Gala Pie
A well-made Gala Pie is a thing of wonder. More than just a pork pie, it has boiled egg running through the centre, and it's a very impressive thing to make.

Turkish Meat Pizza - Kiymali Pide
Pides are everywhere now - little (or not-so-little) boat-shaped flatbreads with a variety of toppings. A bit like pizza, but different. This one has a slightly spicy meat topping and it's well worth making.

RECIPE
Turkish Flatbread - Pide
The Turkish flatbread, pide, is often used as a base for the boat-shaped, meat- or vegetable-filled, pizza-like pides sold as street food and in cafés all over Turkey. But it's so good, you can eat it on its own.

RECIPE
Rhubarb & Apple Crumble
Did you know rhubarb is actually a vegetable? Well it is, and it is utterly wonderful in a crumble. Maincrop rhubarb is available in the summer and autumn, but if you're lucky, you might be able to get your hands on Yorkshire forced rhubarb in February/March - a very special treat! This recipe uses both rhubarb and apple, but you could leave out either if you wish. If you're only using rhubarb, you might want to add more sugar to the filling.
