Spring
Green shoots pushing through the ground - at last! - herald the end of winter dearths. Enjoy spring eating with early crops of vegetables, watercress and shellfish...
Makes 18Chocolate Almond Crunchies
You really don't want these in the house if you're watching your weight as it's impossible to eat just one! Made with chocolate and almonds, they are quite irresistible and can be made with chocolate chips for a child-friendly version.
Makes 16Chocolate Chip Ginger Nuts
Chocolate and ginger is a marriage made in heaven, so combine them in these irresistible little biscuits... impossible to eat just one!
Serves 6-8Chocolate Mascarpone Cheesecake with Fruit and Nuts served with Creme Fraiche
OK, this isn't the healthiest dessert on record, but we all deserve a no-holds-barred bit of indulgence now and then. Anyone who loves chocolate will thrill to this wonderful baked cheesecake. To avoid it cracking, allow to cool in the oven.
Serves 6Melting Chocolate Risotto
Although risotto is usually savoury, think rice pudding and you'll get the point of this lovely, unusual chocolate dessert.
Serves 6Raspberry Crumble
Raspberries may not be the obvious choice for a crumble, but their sharpness perfectly offsets the sweetness and texture of the topping. Give it a go!
Serves 10-12Pheasant Terrine
This very rich terrine is a wonderful, prepare-ahead starter or component of a buffet spread. Alternatively serve it with pickles and good bread for a lunchtime feast.
Serves 4Melted Cheese Frittata with Four Kinds of Mushroom
Just as the Spanish have tortilla, the Italians enjoy frittata, cooked slowly to keep the eggs moist. Here, Delia has used melting cheese and a mixture of mushrooms for a wonderful vegetarian dish.
Serves 2Sea 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!
Serves 8Cappuccino Cheesecakes
Make these the day before you want to eat them: creamy, luxurious and so special, these lovely low-fat cheesecakes are the perfect treat for dieters!
Serves 4Swordfish Ceviche
What could be more enticing on a hot day than a plate of ceviche? Don't be put off by the fact that the fish isn't cooked in the conventional way...it tastes just as good. You could use any firm-fleshed fish for this if you can't find swordfish.
