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 6Chocolate Creme Brulees
The ubiquitious creme brulee is given a welcome twist in this recipe with the addition of chocolate, making it even more of a treat! And Delia has found a brilliant cheat method for the caramel topping...
Serves 8-10Buche de Noel (Chocolate Chestnut Log)
Light and lovely, this chocolate chestnut log would make a great centrepiece at a Christmas party.
Serves 6Warm Chocolate Rum Souffles with Chocolate Sauce
Light and lovely, these beautiful little souffles have the added attraction of being less likely to collapse than a standard version. Hand round chocolate sauce and cream for even more luxury (not to mention calories!)
Serves 4Twice-baked Goats' Cheese Souffles with Chives and Balsamic Vinaigrette
Soufflés can be a bit tricky to get right, but if you're worried about them, these twice-baked versions are ideal as they combine all the fluffy loveliness of a soufflé with eminent good behaviour. Make them ahead or even freeze them if you prefer.
Serves 6Twice-baked Roquefort Souffles
Baking a soufflé twice removes any anxiety over it collapsing before you serve it...and Roquefort is a dream ingredient, combining beautifully with the eggs.
Serves 4Hot Lemon Curd Souffles
Another souffle recipe that is perfect for entertaining as it doesn't collapse, allowing you time to get the dessert on to the table. The hot lemon curd is a revelation!
Serves 8Soupe Flamande with Creme Fraiche and Frizzled Sprouts
The winter months aren't the most exciting on the vegetable front, but when you can make wonderful soups like this one - from potatoes, leeks and Brussels sprouts - who cares?
Serves 4 as a light lunchWarm Pear and Walnut Salad with Roquefort Dressing and Croutons
This salad is a revelation - soft succulent pears, the sharp creaminess of Roquefort cheese and the dry nutty crunch of walnuts combine beautifully to make a salad that's second to none.
Serves 4Oven-roasted Ratatouille
A classic ratatouille is wonderful, but if you roast the vegetables it takes it to another dimension and retains all the vegetables' flavour and texture.
Serves 8Chocolate, Prune and Armagnac Cake
Start this wonderful gluten-free cake a couple of days ahead, then revel in its sheer lightness, due to the lack of flour used.
