Tomato Ketchup
Tomato ketchup (or catsup) is an essential food group for many people - they put it on everything. I think that's a bit excessive, but I do like it with chips or french fries, and sometime on a burger. If you make your own, you can get a more robust flavour and texture than the commercially produced stuff.

Patatas a lo Pobre - Poor Man's Potatoes
Patatas a lo Pobre, also known as Papas a lo Pobre is a very simple potato and pepper dish from Andalusia in the south of Spain. The name means Poor Man's Potatoes, and like many peasant dishes, its simplicity is what makes it wonderful.

Mexican Bean Salad
Bean salad doesn't sound like the most exciting or appetizing thing on earth. But this version, with a coriander and lime dressing, some sweetcorn and peppers, is vibrantly colourful and really tasty.

Cherry Pie
When you have a glut of fruit, you can make jam, or pies. Or in this case, both. This cherry pie features a beautiful woven lattice top.

Chantilly Cream
Chantilly cream is simply whipped cream with vanilla and sugar added. It's really easy to make, and totally addictive.

Cherry Jam
When you have a glut of fruit, there's nothing better to do with it than to make jam. You might think making jam is difficult, but this recipe is actually really easy.

Shortcrust Pastry
Many people are scared of making pastry. They seem to think it's difficult and time-consuming. In fact, making shortcrust pastry is quick and easy, and the results are much better than shop-bought products.

Black Bean and Spinach Curry
India has a long tradition of creating delicious vegetarian food because many people do not eat meat - either for religious or economic reasons. This recipe is a North Indian style curry, and it is absolutely delicious.

Indian Naan Bread
Many people consider making naan (and any other type of bread) a bit of a challenge. It doesn't need to be, but the problem with naan is it's supposed to be cooked in a very hot clay oven (a tandoor), and not many people have one of those. But this recipe is as close as you can get to the authentic taste and texture.

Microwave Dried Herbs
How many times have you bought a packet of a fresh herb such as coriander/cilantro, parsley, mint or any other herb, only to find most of it rotting in the fridge because you didn't use it in time? With this simple microwave drying technique, you can reduce the waste, and always have good dried herbs on hand.

Chicken Ballotine
It seems to me like every competitor on Masterchef at some point has a go at this chicken ballotine recipe. It's a classic French way to make what is essentially a stuffed roll of chicken, and it's a joy to eat if you can get it right.

Vinaigrette - French Dressing
Nothing improves a salad more than a good dressing, and vinaigrette is one of the classic French dressings. It's really quick and easy to make, so once you know how you can stop buying the stuff from the shop.

Vegetarian Lasagna
This delicious lasagna recipe tastes as good as the meaty original!

Spaghetti Carbonara
Spaghetti Carbonara must be one of the easiest and quickest Italian pasta dishes to make. With only a handful of ingredients, you can have a delicious and filling dish on the table in only 15 minutes!

Poached Egg
There's something indefinable about a poached egg - neither fried nor boiled, and certainly not scrambled. It requires a bit of skill to poach an egg properly, but this is how I do it.

Lamb Kofta Burger
Kofta, or kofte, exists in many forms and is found in many countries from the Middle East and North Africa, through Turkey and across to the Indian sub-continent. It can be flavoured and spiced in many different ways - in fact, the name just means 'minced', so there is not one standard recipe. The meat isn't always lamb, either - it can be beef or pork or a mixture. It can also be presented on skewers, as meatballs, or even as burgers.
