The weather forecast's good so why not rustle up some of Delia's pukka picnic food and head for the great outdoors?
Serves 6 as a starterBaked Eggs in Wild Mushroom Tartlets
It's quite a long time since I made a quiche or tart for entertaining. I feel that serving them individually is prettier and more practical, and people seem to really enjoy them. This recipe contains a base of a very concentrated mixture of fresh mus
Serves 4Caramelised toffee walnut tarts with clotted cream
Buy some good-quality pastry tartlet cases and you can rustle up this gorgeous dessert or teatime treat in minutes!
Serves 4Portuguese Custard Tarts
These are perfect to serve warm as a dessert, although I personally prefer them chilled. Either way, they just melt in the mouth, with pastry as light as a whisper and a filling of wobbly custard flavoured with vanilla, caramel and cinnamon.
Serves 6 (Makes 18-20 blinis)Buckwheat Blinis with Smoked Salmon, Creme Fraiche and Dill
Although these mini pancakes look pretty impressive, they're dead easy to make and won't cost a fortune either: enjoy them as part of Delia's Frugal Christmas menu!
Serves 6Chicken Liver Pate with Brandy, with Sweet-and-Sour Red Onion Salad
So easy to make, this lovely pate will soon become a firm favourite. The salad is a revelation too!
Serves 10-12Coarse Country Pate
If you long to eat some of the rough country pâté available all over France, but in short supply here, why not make some? You won't believe how blissfully easy it is, and using a processor instead of buying the meat ready-minced makes it even coarser
Makes about 14Party Cheese Twists
So, so easy to make, these lovely cheesy morsels are made with ready-rolled puff pastry, which means you can rustle up a batch in no time at all. Great with drinks or at parties...
Serves 8Smoked Mackerel Pate with Ricotta
Quite simply the easiest pâté I've ever made. All the ingredients are placed together in the bowl of the processor, then one little whiz and it's made! It also has an utterly sublime flavour – brilliant! Serve with hot toasted wholemeal bread.
Serves 2 German frankfurters and hot potato salad with mustard dressing
Storecupboard ingredients have a starring role in this tasty family supper recipe which we just know you'll make again and again.
Serves 4Parma ham, pecorino and rosemary crisps
This recipe is perfect if you want to serve something homemade with pre-dinner drinks, and you can ring the changes with the type of cheese you use.
