Cheese crops up in many of Delia's recipes and no surprise: from Cheddar in a classic sauce to accompany macaroni, or Stilton in an omelette to use up Christmas leftovers and three cheeses combined in a superb terrine there are many ways in which to use the world of cheeses available to us.

Serves 6

Asparagus, Cheese and Egg Tartlets

These delightful tartlets contain a combination of melted cheese, lightly sautéed asparagus tips and whole, lightly baked eggs. They are simple to prepare and just need popping into the oven 12-15 minutes before they are served. Vegetarians might lik

 

 

Serves 4 as a vegetable or 2 for supper

Cauliflower with Two Cheeses and Creme Fraiche

This is almost like a cheat's cauliflower cheese as you don't have to make a separate sauce - just let the creme fraiche melt. Use vegetarian cheese if you are not a meat eater: this is comfort food at its best.

 

 

Makes 1 loaf, to serve 4-6

Parsnip, Parmesan and Sage Bread

I love to serve this bread with Curried Parsnip and Apple Soup with Parsnip Crisps, as it extends the parsnip flavour, but it's also good with tomato or any other soup, or for a snack with crisp apples and celery and a soft, ripe, creamy cheese such

 

 

Serves 3-4

Semolina Gnocchi with Gorgonzola

Prepare the mixture the day beforehand and you'll enjoy lovely gnocchi with crisp edges and fluffy insides. Use vegetarian versions of the cheeses for a meat-free treat packed with flavours of Italy.

Tiny Cheese, Onion and Olive Scones

Sufficient for a 10 inch (25.5 cm) base pizza – serves 2

Quattro Formaggi (Four Cheese) Pizza

This is the classic version of one of the most wonderful combinations of bread and cheese imaginable. You can, of course, vary the cheeses, but the ones I've chosen here are a truly magical combination. Vegetarians might like to know that a vegetaria

 

 

Serves 4 as a light lunch with a green salad; or 6-8 as a starter

Broccoli Souffle with Three Cheeses

Soufflés are really something. Sublimely soft, foaming masses of egginess that rise to lofty heights and never fail to delight all who see and all who taste. I know rumour has it that soufflés are difficult, temperamental and can fall flat on you, an

 

 

Serves 2

Spinach Tortelloni with Leeks & Gorgonzola

This rich and hearty vegetarian dish is on the table in just 10 minutes, making it ideal for those evenings when you're late home from work and have no energy to cook, or wait, for supper!
