Italian
We'd defy anyone to say they don't like Italian food! Delia's recipes cover everything from a dazzling array of pasta dishes through to pizza and such classics as Veal Milanese, Beef in Barolo and Chicken Cacciatora, a recipe that's become a firm favourite at Delia Online.
Serves 2Braised Liver and Onions in Marsala
On the way home for supper Delia grabbed some liver, ready-made gravy and fresh peas and, with the addition of Marsala, made a meal in minutes that is fit for a king!
Serves 4Baked Gnocchi Bolognese
This superb, wintry Bolognese bake is made from quality bought ingredients, allowing you to put it together without any hassle for a real taste of Italy.
Serves 6Beef in Barolo with Parmesan Mashed Potatoes
This is a classic from Piedmont but because Barolo is such a very fine and quite expensive wine, I tend to make this with something less costly but from the same region. Then splash out and buy a bottle of Barolo to drink with it.
Serves 6 as a starterBudino di Pomodorini

Bruschetta is a very special type of toasted bread, pronounced 'brusketta'. When I first tasted the real thing in Tuscany, it was one of the most memorable eating experiences of my life. Italian country bread is toasted on both sides over hot, fragra
Makes a 10 inch (25.5 cm) base pizza – serves 2Basic Pizza Dough
Pizza dough is made in almost the same way as white bread – by hand or using a food processor, except that you add olive oil and a little sugar to the flour mixture and there isn't a second rising. You might consider making double the quantity and fr
Serves 2-3Braised Sausages with Borlotti Beans, Rosemary and Sage
You can use any beans in this recipe, but borlotti are the best of all. The smokiness of the pancetta is also important, but if you can’t get it, use smoked bacon.
