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.
Makes 24 piecesChocolate Crunch Torte with Stem Ginger and Figs
This is the easiest chocolate recipe ever invented - and yet it tastes wonderful. I first made a more basic version for children's TV. Since then it's got much more sophisticated but the joy of its simplicity and the fact that no cooking is required
Serves 6-8 (makes about 30)Profiteroles with Hot Chocolate Sauce
Everyone loves profiteroles, so give these a whirl next time you're entertaining.
Serves 6-8Pile-it-high Orange and Rhubarb Meringue Pie
The flavour of orange zest does something quite magical to the flavour of rhubarb, and this light, fluffy meringue pie is a perfect dessert for late spring. ‘Pile-it-high meringue', incidentally, applies only if you have extra egg whites to use up..
The Ultimate Carrot Cake with Mascarpone, Fromage Frais and Cinnamon Icing
Made with wholemeal flour, this wonderfully impressive cake would make the perfect centrepiece for afternoon tea - an absolute treat and bound to become your chosen carrot cake recipe!
Serves 4Chicken Puttanesca
This recipe takes Delia's gutsy puttanesca sauce to another level by combining it with chicken for a very tasty supper indeed. Serve it with pasta.
Serves 4No-cook Cheesecakes with Caramelised Rhubarb
Without doubt this is one of the easiest ways to produce some brilliant cheesecakes without any of the whisking or cooking and so on. You will have to partly freeze them to firm them up, but even that’s better than all the fiddle.
Classic Sponge Cake
This is where it all begins: what I am aiming to do here is get you started on cake making. Once you have mastered the art of the classic sponge cake you can then move on to all the variations and never look back.
