French
Ooh la la! Delia's pulled out all the stops with a terrific selection of the very best of French cuisine, from steaks and salades to snacks such as Croque Monsieur.
Serves 1A Souffle Omelette with Three Cheeses and Chives
Supper in five minutes? This speedy vegetarian soufflé omelette is so easy and is particularly appealing to those who are wary of making a standard soufflé in the oven.
Serves 6A Very Chocolatey Mousse
So easy and loved by everyone who eats it: isn't it time to revisit this classic French dessert?
Serves 8Alain’s Passion Fruit Brulee
My thanks to Alain Benech, our very French chef at the football club, whom I persuaded to part with his delicious recipe for you all to make. Whenever it goes on the menu, it’s very popular and always sells out.
Serves 8 as a first courseAsparagus Feuilletés
These wonderful feuilletes would make an impressive starter for a summer gathering and, again, combine asparagus with melting cheese - one of food's most perfect combinations.
Serves 6Apricot Galettes with Amaretto
Thin discs of pastry - galettes - are a cook's blank canvas for all sorts of savoury and sweet treats. Here Delia combines apricots and amaretto to mouthwatering effect.
Serves 1Anchoïade
This is a really gutsy snack, served on toasted French bread, and redolent of sunny picnics in Provence! If you're wondering what to do with the rest of the anchovy fillets, cover them in a bowl with clingfilm and store to use later for Pizza Amalfit
Serves 2 (so double it for 4)A Provençal Winter Stew
With temperatures still at freezing, it was time to tuck into a robust stew filled with flavours of the Mediterranean - and discover what Delia's cats enjoy doing most to keep warm!
Serves 4Anchoïade with Toasted Goats' Cheese Croutons
Anchovies, mi-cuit tomatoes, olives, oregano: all strong flavours, but combine them in a processor and you end up with this lovely pate-like result. Spread it on to toasted bread for a type of bruschetta - useful as nibbles at a party.
Serves 2Aligot (Mashed Potatoes with Garlic and Cheese)
Traditionally served as an accompaniment to steak, this French version of mashed potato is well worth trying!
Serves 4-6Almost Mayonnaise
Usually, rich sauces such as mayonnaise are off the radar for dieters, but Delia has cleverly come up with a way round it and created a low-fat mayo that is based on a 19th-century original by one of her favourite cookery writers.
