Sauce
Get the sauce right and the whole dish will follow suit: avoid lumpy, floury sauces with Delia's selection of the very best, from classics to more recent finds.
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 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.
Serves 4Roast Seville Orange-glazed Duck with Port Wine Sauce
Delia's delicious take on duck a l'orange brings this retro favourite bang up to date with the sharp, tangy flavour of Seville orange marmalade a great foil for the richness of the duck...
Serves 6-8Roast Ribs of Traditional Beef with Horseradish, Creme Fraiche and Mustard Sauce
Not for nothing do the French refer to the British as 'les rosbifs' - this superlative roast, with traditional trimmings of Yorkshire pudding and horseradish, sums up the best of our classic dishes.
Serves 2Entrecote Steak with Creme Fraiche and Cracked Pepper Sauce
Looking for a really fantastic recipe for a special occasion? Look no further - this wonderful steak recipe ticks all the boxes and is easy yet totally luxurious.
Makes about 15 fl oz (425 ml)Classic White Bechamel Sauce
Some people seem to think there's a lot of mystique surrounding sauces, but if you follow Delia's recipe to the letter - using the classic roux method - you'll have a lovely, smooth creamy sauce, the perfect base for many recipes.
Serves 2Smoked Haddock with Creme Fraiche, Chive and Butter Sauce
It's hard to believe how good this quick and easy recipe is - the combination of flavours is quite superb. Enjoy it for lunch or supper served wtih buttery spinach.
Serves 8 as a starterSpinach and Ricotta Souffles with Anchovy Sauce
Spinach and ricotta are a classic combination in cooking - adding an anchovy sauce is truly inspirational, as it provides a salty element that sets the recipe off to a tee.
Serves 2-3 (enough for 12 oz/350 g pasta)Classic Fresh Tomato Sauce
This classic tomato sauce is so good that, for Delia at least, it ignites feelings of almost reverence...the very best pasta sauce of all.
