Chicken, Leek and Bacon Pie
Chicken and ham, or chicken and bacon, are classic combos for a tasty pie filling. The addition of leek adds something extra. Yumminess, maybe.

Roast Pork with Braised Red Cabbage
This is a complete meal and the flavour balance between the various components is truly marvellous - sweet tender pork wrapped in smoky bacon contrasted with sweet/sour red cabbage, zingy mustard mashed potato all dribbled with smooth velvety gravy.

Chocolate Brownies
Everybody loves chocolate brownies, don't they? With their slightly crispy top and bottom and chewy gooey interior, they are a treat.

Paella
Paella (pronounced 'pie-yay-ya', not 'pie-ella') must be one of Spain's most famous dishes. It was invented in Valencia and people get very heated about what goes into an 'authentic' paella. To be honest, I'm not a total purist (we actually had a paella at the Valencian restaurant that claims to have invented it, and we were not impressed), but I'd never put chorizo in it. What I'm making here is more or less what you would get at a restaurant in Madrid - Paella Mixta.

Southern Fried Chicken
Everybody loves fried chicken, don't they? But maybe the 'fried' bit puts them off. In this recipe, the chicken is briefly fried, and then finished off in the oven. It's delicious and easy.

Classic Chicken Supreme
The name 'chicken supreme' is a bit confusing - a suprême of chicken refers to the breast, sometimes with the wing bone attached. But there is also 'sauce suprême'. However, put them together and you get this delicious and easy chicken dish.

British Mushy Peas
Mushy peas are very traditional in the north of England. They go brilliantly with fish and chips, pies, etc. But people who are not initiated into the craft have this idea that mashed garden peas will do as a substitute. They are massively wrong - this is how you make mushy peas, there's no other way.

Ratatouille
You might call this the embodiment of the Mediterranean diet - fresh summer vegetables, olive oil, healthy etc. There doesn't seem to be anything like an 'authentic' version of ratatouille, but this one is slow-cooked and packed with rich flavours.

Chocolate Truffles
Chocolate truffles come in three different styles - dusted with cocoa powder, encrusted in crushed nuts, or encased in hard dark chocolate, but they all share a common filling of chocolate ganache. In this recipe, I show you how to make the chocolate-coated truffles.

Chicken with Cashew Nuts
Chicken with Cashew Nuts is one of the standards of Western Chinese takeaways and it's usually pretty bland. But this recipe takes some Thai influences and turns it into a delicious dish.

Vegan Banana and Lime Cake
While I wouldn't ever volunteer to adopt a Vegan diet / lifestyle (or even vegetarian, come to that), it is possible to make some pretty good food without using animal products. This unctuous eggless banana cake with a zing of lime is one of those things. Yum!

Roast Pork Belly with Fennel Seeds
Pork belly is a reasonably priced cut of meat, but it does need a long, slow roast to bring out the best in it. The aniseed notes of the fennel seeds complement the pork perfectly, and the cider in the gravy makes it sing.

Chocolate Fondant
Chocolate fondant has a bit of a reputation for being difficult, mainly because whenever contestants on cooking shows like Masterchef try it, they tend to fail. The reason is simple: chocolate fondant needs to be baked so that the exterior is firmly set, while the centre is still gooey and delicious, and if you don't know your oven it's very difficult to pull off.

Moo Ping - Thai Pork Skewers
Moo Ping (literally Grilled Pork) are little skewers of porky deliciousness, and probably Thailand's most popular street food.

Tuna Salad
I usually find it hard to get excited about salads, but this tuna salad is actually delicious.

French Fries
French fries are very different beasts from proper chips (note for Americans - 'chips' are stciks of fried potato, bigger than french fries). But sometimes you might crave them. This is how to make fries like fast-food restaurants make them.
