The weather forecast's good so why not rustle up some of Delia's pukka picnic food and head for the great outdoors?
Serves 4Spiced Lamb and Cashew Kebabs
Following a holiday in Hong Kong, Delia was delighted to discover that, on her return home, it was easy enough to recreate these gorgeous spicy lamb kebabs.
Serves 4Marinated Chicken Kebabs with Whole Spices
A healthy, lower-fat option for a barbecue, these kebabs are given extra appeal by the wonderful coriander chutney, a real taste of the East.
Makes 12Little Croustades filled with Gravadlax and Soured Cream
Easy yet impressive, you simply have to add these to your party food repertoire. Use guacamole or smoked salmon instead of gravadlax if you prefer.
Serves 4Oven-baked Chicken in Maple Barbecue Sauce
The sticky-sweet maple syrup marinade will guarantee that this quick and easy recipe is a huge hit with all the family!
Serves 10Four Star Slaw
The four 'stars' in this case are celeriac, carrot, cabbage and spring onion. The result is a very crunchy fresh-tasting salad that can be made the day before, if you cover it with clingfilm and keep it in the refrigerator until needed.
Serves 4Foil-baked Salmon served with English Parsley Sauce
An English parsley sauce has, in many ways, become a forgotten delicacy. It's excellent served with boiled gammon or any baked fish or, as shown here, it's supremely good served as a partner to fresh salmon.
Makes approximately 20Walnut Shortbreads
These light, crumbly little biscuits are just the thing to serve with home-made ice creams. They could also be packed into boxes or jars for a home-made Christmas gift. Walnut Shortbread can also be made in advance and then frozen.
Serves 12Stuffed Yellow Peppers with Pilau Rice, Currants and Toasted Pine Nuts
Make the peppers ahead for an easy dish when entertaining. Stuffing vegetables with a mixture of rice, nuts and dried fruit adds plenty of flavour and a very Mediterranean element.
Makes approximately 30Coffee and Hazelnut Macaroons
These crunchy little hazelnut biscuits go very well with Coffee Cappuccino Creams with Cream and Sweet Coffee Sauce. Alternatively, if you leave out the coffee, they're excellent for serving with ice creams or jellies. You can also make very tiny bis
Serves 2Open-faced Egg, Anchovy and Shallot Sandwiches
Sandwiches are the ultimate quick snack but all too often can be a bit boring. Not so with this recipe, which combines creamy eggs, salty anchovies and the crunch of shallots, garnished with an olive!
