Madras Eggs and Spinach with Tomato Cachumber

Delia discovered a wonderful Madras sauce that makes easy work of this lovely vegetarian curry, accompanied by a type of chutney that's one of Delia's favourites! Use peas or leeks instead of spinach, if you prefer.

Preserved Dried Tomatoes

Oven-drying gives tomatoes a deep, intense flavour that will liven up all manner of dishes during the winter months - and is a useful way of using up a glut from the greenhouse, maybe?

Pickled Peppers and CourgettesMakes four 171/2 fl oz (500 ml capacity) preserving jars

Pickled Peppers and Courgettes

This is adapted from an old Cordon Bleu recipe for pickled cucumber. It's one of the best, in my opinion, for serving with patés, as it provides a bit of crunch and acidity to cut through the richness.

 
 
Fresh Date and Apple ChutneyServes 6 as a starter

Fresh Date and Apple Chutney

This chutney goes particularly well with Camembert Croquettes. However, it would also partner the Christmas cold cuts and buffet food extremely well, especially ham, pork pies and gammon.
