Sloppy Joe
Every American knows what a sloppy joe is but I'm not sure about the rest of the world - certainly these dribbly saucy meaty sandwiches haven't really crossed the pond to the UK. But they're well worth a try.

RECIPE
Stottie Cakes
In the Geordie dialect (Newcastle-upon-Tyne and thereabouts), to stot means to bounce, and somehow that has become the name of these discs of bread. A traditional stottie would be about 30cm (12 inches) in diameter, and you slice it horizontally for sandwiches.

RECIPE
Tomato Pie
It may sound unlikely but this pie filled with juicy tomatoes, fresh basil and bacon, all topped with a mixture or mayonnaise and cheese (yes, really) is absolutely amazing.

English Breakfast Sausages
You can't have a real English breakfast without good sausages - and you can't get gooder bangers than the ones you make yourself! Porky, herby, juicy, yummy.

RECIPE
Forfar Bridies
Scotland's answer to the Cornish pastie, these meat-filled pastry treats are easy to make and delicious. Bridies have existed since the early 19th century, and dubious theories about the name suggest it's to do with their popularity at weddings.

RECIPE
Aberdeen Butteries
Aberdeen butteries, also known as rowies or Scottish croissants are like a cross between a breakfast roll and a croissant and they are delicious. One of Scotland's best-kept secrets - you must try them!

Danish Pork Belly - Stegt Flæsk med Persillesovs
In 2014, stegt flæsk med persillesovs - pork belly with parsley sauce - was voted Denmark's national dish. It's really simple, really tasty and really easy to make. What's not to like?

Gazpacho Cold Tomato Soup

Lamb Biryani Pie
Inspired by the dum cooking method of Hyderabadi biryani, where the lid is sealed to the pot with dough, this pie does away with the pot altogether and bakes the biryani inside a pie case. Carb overload? You decide.

Beef Risotto Vesta-style
One of the earliest ready-meals to be introduced to Britain, Vesta® Beef Risotto quickly became a firm favourite. It has been discontinued for a few years, but it's quite easy to make something like it yourself - here's how.

Tarte Tatin - French Apple Tart
This tart was invented in the 1880s by sisters Stéphanie and Caroline Tatin at their hotel south of Paris. Caramelised apples are cooked under a pastry lid which then becomes the base when it is flipped over for serving.

RECIPE
Airfryer Chicken Nuggets
Chicken nuggets were invented in 1950 but popularised by McDonald's in 1983. They have had a bad reputation for containing some awful stuff but these easy airfryer chicken are just chicken breast coated in seasoned breadcrumbs.

This unusual pizza features four toppings, each representing a season of the year. Artichoke hearts are for spring, olives are summer, mushrooms are autumn and ham is winter.

RECIPE
Spam Potato and Chilli Fritters with Pineapple Relish
Spam® has something of a mixed reputation - some Pacific nations consider it a delicacy, while here in the UK many folk look down on it. I think it's a good-quality product, reasonably priced, easy to cook with and zero waste. This simple potato and Spam fritter recipe adds a bit of fire with some chilli peppers and the accompanying pineapple relish adds sweet sharpness.

RECIPE
Coronation Quiche
This vegetarian quiche was chosen for the Coronation of King Charles III in May 2023. The published recipe isn't very easy for inexperienced cooks so I've tweaked a few things. Give it a go - it tastes great!
