Ingredients by
Cheat
Cheating certainly doensn't mean any reduction in flavour or quality of the finished dish: all it does is free your time up by using a brilliant shop-bought ingredient. What could be simpler?
A Very Quick Moussaka
This brilliant moussaka will give your guests the impression that you've been cooking for hours, when in fact - thanks to a raft of ready-made ingredients - all you've done is a quick assembly job.
Aubergines Stuffed with Moussaka
Moussaka with a twist here, as Delia uses minced lamb to stuff aubergines in her own version of a Greek classic.
A Summer Trifle with Raspberries and Raspberry Puree
No cooking here - just an assembly job involving ready-made custard, trifle sponges and a few other magic ingredients. You'll end up with a trifle that will be loved by everyone!
Baked Vanilla Cheesecake with Rhubarb Compote
This foolproof baked cheesecake comes from a book by Delia's friend, Michelin-starred chef Galton Blackiston at Morston Hall on the North Norfolk coast. Delia uses rhubarb, but you could easily ring the changes.
Butterscotch and Banana Sundaes
Crunchy turrón, rich butterscotch sauce and vanilla ice cream combine to great effect in these lovely sundaes.
Camargue Red Rice Salad with Feta Cheese
This is a lovely salad for outdoor eating on a warm, sunny summer's day.
Avocado Mousse with Prawns and Vinaigrette
This is a delicious, creamy and most attractive starter to a dinner party. But don’t make it too far in advance as it tends to lose its beautiful colour.
Calamares fritos (fried baby squid)
These are so simple – they take seconds to cook and are good served with Tracklements’ Chilli Jam. I buy mine ready-prepared (still frozen from the fish counter at Waitrose) so I can always have a stash in the freezer.
Asparagus with Nearly Hollandaise
What could be more indulgent than wonderful home-grown asparagus with a Hollandaise sauce that's so easy anyone can make it? Enjoy this creamy, buttery sauce with freshly picked spears if you can.
Asian steak sandwiches
No not bread sarnies. These are slices of sticky, fragrant marinated steak, served wrapped in lettuce leaves.
