Entertaining
Although it's lovely to have friends round for dinner, the last thing you want is to be chained to the kitchen. Delia's recipes for entertaining allow you to prepare ahead, or involve minimal work before serving, so you can have a stress-free, relaxed evening as well!
Serves 4Braised Celery with Cheese and Onion Sauce
An unusual way of cooking celery, the addition of a cheese and onion sauce brings a creaminess and plenty of flavour to one of winter's best vegetables.
Serves 8Potatoes Boulangères with Sage
This classic potato dish is, quite rightly, seen as the perfect partner to roasts, casseroles, sausages and braised dishes.
Serves 8Pork with Pickled Walnut Stuffing
This elegant recipe features a mixture of flavours that is totally sublime… perfect for entertaining during the winter months.
Serves 6-8Darina Allen's Gluten-free Chocolate Fudge Pudding
Those with a gluten intolerance often have to just sit and watch while others tuck into gorgeous puddings. Not here: this chocolate fudge pudding by Darina Allen allows everyone to join in and is well worth making.
Serves 8-10Christmas Easy: The Delia Christmas Pudding
For 40 years, the nation has been making this pudding, which tastes even better if you prepare it a few weeks before Christmas then leave it in a cool place to mature. Delia has also given instructions to make this gluten-free.
Serves 4Brussels Bubble-and-Squeak
Bubble-and-squeak with a Christmas twist: instead of the usual cabbage and potatoes, Delia uses leftover sprouts for a tasty version of this traditional recipe.
Serves 6Mascarpone Creams with Summer Fruit Puree
Mascarpone has both a richness and lightness that makes it the ideal ingredient for summery desserts. Add plenty of seasonal berries and you'll be in heaven!
Serves 4Steamed Raisin Pudding with Port Wine Sauce
This lovely steamed pudding is made without sugar - so is ideal for diabetics. The sweet element is provided by the plump raisins, while the sauce adds the finishing touch.
Serves 4Baked Apples with Pecans and Maple Syrup
Just three ingredients here, but they meld together beautifully to create a simple, yet simply stunning, dessert that has more than a hint of Americana!
Serves 4Cheats’ Risotto Milanese
Who says risotto has to be stirred? Well, yes, if it's a classic one, but this tastes every bit as good and is just left to its own devices on the hob. Brilliant with braised meat dishes and casseroles.
