Long Description to add
Serves 6-8Loin of Pork Dijonnaise
The 'Dijonnaise' bit is, of course, mustard which perfectly complements the pork in this wonderful centrepiece for Sunday lunch - roast pork with a difference!
Serves 4Ossobuco
Slow-cooked shin of veal with tomatoes and wine: a true taste of Italy. Gremolata - garlic, parsley and lemon zest - sprinkled over at the end makes it even better. Serve with rice, preferably risotto.
Serves 4Butter Bean, Bacon and Parsley Soup
A lovely wintry soup, butter beans absorb the flavours of parsley, bacon, onions and garlic in this hearty and cheap dish. Perfect on a winter's day.
Serves 8-10Polenta and Ricotta Cake with Dates and Pecans
This unusual Italian cake freezes really well and makes a nice change from the more obvious teatime offerings: polenta gives the cake a grainy texture while the ricotta and amaretto to add moisture and an alcoholic kick!
Serves 8Little Sticky Toffee Puddings with Pecan Toffee Sauce
Why not freeze these gorgeous little puds for a very special dessert? Your guests will love the wonderful flavours of this real treat.
Serves 6Boiled Smoked Bacon with Pease Pudding with Onion and Mustard Sauce
This may sound like quite a retro kind of dish, but as Delia says, collar of bacon has great flavour... and if you've never tasted traditional pease pudding you're in for a treat!
Serves 6Eton Mess
Invented at Eton for 4 June celebrations, this easy summery dessert is one of the quickest and most delectable ways to enjoy home-grown strawberries, couple with cream and meringue. Yum!
Serves 6Hot Chocolate Rum Soufflé with Chocolate Sauce
Chocolate lovers will think they've died and gone to heaven if you serve them this sumptuous souffle. And souffle makers will be pleased to hear that, even if it sinks a little, this dessert will still be fabulous.
Makes about 6Canadian Buttermilk Pancakes with Maple Syrup
The Canadian bit comes from the maple syrup - that sticky, sweet, caramelly ingredient that lifts pancakes into the realm of the heavenly. Using buttermilk makes pancakes particularly light and moreish.
Serves 2Fried Skate Wings with Very Quick Homemade Tartare Sauce
This unctuous sauce keeps for a week and so can be called into service for other fish dishes too. Make it with lime and coriander for a more oriental touch. Skate is hugely underrated, easy to cook and well worth the effort.
