Almost Mayonnaise

Usually, rich sauces such as mayonnaise are off the radar for dieters, but Delia has cleverly come up with a way round it and created a low-fat mayo that is based on a 19th-century original by one of her favourite cookery writers.

Serves 4-6

American Blue-cheese Dressing

Just what your burgers have been missing! This American classic is very easy to make and adds plenty of flavour to burgers and grilled meats.

Makes about 15 fl oz (425 ml)

All-in-one White Sauce

Many people find sauces daunting to make, but Delia's discovered a secret ingredient - sauce flour - that makes quick work of the process with failsafe results.

Serves 4

Anchoïade with Toasted Goats' Cheese Croutons

Anchovies, mi-cuit tomatoes, olives, oregano: all strong flavours, but combine them in a processor and you end up with this lovely pate-like result. Spread it on to toasted bread for a type of bruschetta - useful as nibbles at a party.

A Confit of Cranberries for serving with Game or Duck

The title says it all and this jewel-like confit is the perfect foil for the richness of game or duck - you could also serve it with cheeses and cold cuts at Christmas as a change from your usual chutney.

Serves 2

Tiger Prawn Risotto with Lobster Sauce

Prawns, lobster bisque, Gruyere cheese and sherry combine perfectly in this easy cheat's version of a risotto - baked in the oven, so no tedious stirring! Yet what could be more luxurious than this at a special meal for two?

Serves 6-8

Savoury Feta Cheesecake
