Feta, Olive and Sun-dried Tomato Scones

These little scones are packed with Mediterranean flavours and are just the thing spread with butter at teatime. Alternatively, enjoy them with soup or other lunchtime foods.

Serves 2

Sea Bass with Puy Lentil Salsa

Sea bass has a real feel of luxury about it and served with this gorgeous lentil salsa would make a great dish when entertaining... even non dieters will enjoy it!

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 4

Twice-baked Goats' Cheese Souffles with Chives and Balsamic Vinaigrette

Soufflés can be a bit tricky to get right, but if you're worried about them, these twice-baked versions are ideal as they combine all the fluffy loveliness of a soufflé with eminent good behaviour. Make them ahead or even freeze them if you prefer.

Serves 6

Twice-baked Roquefort Souffles

Baking a soufflé twice removes any anxiety over it collapsing before you serve it...and Roquefort is a dream ingredient, combining beautifully with the eggs.

Serves 8 as a starter

Spinach 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.

Serves 2

Teriyaki Beef

Teriyaki sauce may sound exotic but it's well worth trying: simply a mixture of soy, mirin, sake, sugar, ginger and garlic, these ingredients are used to marinate the steak, producing a tender, flavourful result.

Serves 2

Oven-baked Risotto Carbonara

Funny, isn't it, how a bit of lateral thinking can often result in something ingenious? Here Delia has applied the classic carbonara ingredients of cream, bacon and cheese to a risotto...with superb results!
