Serves 4Mussel and Saffron Soup
Mussels are so cheap yet are often overlooked by home cooks. Use them in this fragrant soup, made golden with saffron, for a wonderful dinner-party recipe. Nowadays mussels come ready-cleaned, so it's made in minutes!
Serves 4Jacket Potato Wedges with Melting Cheese and Spring Onion
Potato wedges are a good way of maximising the fibre and nutritious elements of a potato but can be bland. These wedges are anything but - melted cheese and spring onions make them special enough for a buffet.
Serves 4St Stephen's Pudding
This lovely traditional Christmas pudding is a good bet for those who don't like the richness of a traditional plum pudding, yet still want the elements of it - steaming, apples, raisins - in their Christmas Day dessert.
Serves 8Meringues with Summer Fruit
Once you know how, meringues are the easiest thing to make and can be used in recipes from Eton mess to petits monts blancs and pavlova. They're also a great way to use up leftover egg whites from other recipes...
Serves 8 Christmas Easy: Cranberry and Orange Relish
This is Delia's chosen version of cranberry sauce, made with oranges, cloves, sugar and cinnamon as well as oranges for a rich and full flavour.
Serves 4-6Christmas Easy: Braised Venison with Bacon, Chestnuts and Wild Mushrooms in a Rich Madeira Sauce
Venison lends itself to slow cooking with other wintry ingredients such as mushrooms, bacon and chestnuts. The Madeira sauce gives it plenty of richness too, resulting in a dish that's truly sensational and perfect for Christmas.
Serves 8 (with plenty left over)Preparing the Roast Bronze Free-range Turkey with Traditional Pork, Sage and Onion Stuffing
If you want a golden, succulent, flavourful turkey at Christmas, with a superb stuffing, there really is no other recipe to use than this one!
Serves 8 (with the Souffléd Arbroath Smokie Creams)Christmas Easy: Foaming Hollandaise
This is Delia's chosen version of Hollandaise these days: it's lighter, goes further, doesn't curdle and, unlike a classic Hollandaise, can be reheated or even frozen.
