Beef Cannelloni

Beef cannelloni is a savory Italian dish consisting of large pasta tubes, filled with a flavourful mixture of ground beef, herbs, spices, and vegetables. The filled tubes are then placed in a baking dish, covered with a rich tomato sauce, and often topped with cheese before being baked until bubbly and golden brown.

Spinach & Coconut Dal

If you grow your own vegetables, you probably grow spinach and therefore have an abundance of it for a lot of the year! This is one of my favourite dishes to make when I want an easy warming bowl for supper and it is made with storecupboard staples – red lentils, chickpeas and coconut milk, and a few simple spices. If it starts to get a bit dry, add in hot vegetable stock or water.

Roast Tarragon Chicken with Mushroom Risotto

This is my favorite way to cook and serve roast chicken during the fall. The tarragon adds a delicious sweet flavor, mixed with the spicy Dijon mustard and aromatic garlic. The risotto is creamy, so there is no need for a sauce. It’s an ideal supper for a cozy evening at home.

Tiramisu

I think tiramisu has to be my all-time favourite dessert, and this is my top way to make it. I am not going to give any alternatives because, for me, adding fruit or flother flavours just takes away from this perfect pudding – creamy with thin layers of velvet chocolate and notes of coffee throughout.

Tarte Tatin

Toffee apples for grown-ups, the tarte tatin is all about the flavour of the fruit – crisp pastry, firm, juicy apples and that sweet, buttery caramel topping, holding the whole lot together.

Ricotta Meatballs with Polenta

This is the traditional way that they make meatballs in Sicily. I mix together minced pork and ricotta with the ground beef. The pork brings flavour and juiciness and the ricotta brings a lovely lightness. I serve them with polenta as they do during the colder months in Italy, but you could use spaghetti. This is a great freezer recipe, so make double and you can store it away. It’s nice to serve a green vegetable alongside to lighten the dish; I use cavolo nero but you could choose purple sprouting broccoli, shredded cabbage or a green salad.

Herby Chicken Kiev

A fresh chicken breast filled with beautiful fresh herbs, garlic and good-quality butter, dipped in fresh breadcrumbs and cheddar and fried in clean oil is sensational. Biting into a cheesy crumb with a gorgeous crispy texture, then into juicy meat oozing in melting herb garlic butter, is so delicious and nothing like the frozen Eighties version that chicken Kiev has become associated with.

Coconut, Cauliflower & Chickpea Curry

This vegan curry is oozing with wonderful flavours – earthy cumin, coriander and turmeric are lifted by the chilli and fresh ginger. It’s a great, easy supper. The sauce makes a versatile base and you can add in your favourite veggies, such as aubergines, courgettes, tomatoes, broad beans and peas. You can also add chicken, fish or meat to this dish, if you wish. I love to serve it with a spoonful of cooling coconut yogurt.
