Serves 8-10 (Makes 2½ pints/1.5 litres)Very Easy Vanilla Ice Cream
A million times better than anything you can buy, home-made vanilla ice cream is totally addictive! Try Delia's recipe - as she says, it's very easy so no excuses…
Serves 4Watercress and Potato Soup
Creamy and full of spring goodness, this easy, fresh-tasting soup is destined to feature in your regular repertoire after just one tasting.
Serves 6-8Chocolate Fudge Cake
Wholemeal flour adds lightness to this stunning, classic cake - and of course you can kid yourself that it's a healthy option too! What could be better with a cup of tea?
Serves 6Caribbean Banana and Raisin Strudel
Rum-soaked fruit and bananas are combined in filo pastry for this wonderful strudel, which looks hugely impressive when served. Add some vanilla ice cream for a dessert to die for!
Serves 6Classic Crepes Suzette
These were all the rage in the 1960s - the sort of thing a waiter would flambe in front of guests in a kind of floor show. It's a shame they've fallen out of favour and deserve to be back in fashion - a lovely citrus and pancake dessert.
Serves 8-10Chocolate Ricotta Cheesecake
Definitely not for diet days, but this glorious chocolate cheesecake is a must for chocoholics. It's also easier to make than it looks, so why not wow your guests?
Serves 4Zabaglione Ice Cream with Biscotti
Make zabaglione then take it a stage further with this divine taste of Italy including Marsala and crushed amaretti biscuits. A rich but indulgent dessert.
Serves 6-8Traditional Raspberry Trifle
Using fresh raspberries for this luscious trifle makes it even more of a treat, with trifle sponges, raspberry jam and custard adding the other dimensions. You could even use a ready-made custard if short of time.
Serves 8Meringues with Summer Fruit
Once you know how, meringues are the easiest thing to make and can be used in recipes from Eton mess to petits monts blancs and pavlova. They're also a great way to use up leftover egg whites from other recipes...
