Even the most experienced cooks sometimes need a helping hand when planning meals, which is where this section comes in handy. So, you know you want soup, or a stew or a sumptuous Sunday roast… but can’t decide on which one. We have arranged Delia’s content into handy categories – roasts, party food, low-fat dishes, quick and easy recipes, picnic fare, salads and so on, which means there’s no excuse if you can’t think what to cook!
Roasts
Sometimes you know you fancy a soup, but should it be the roasted tomato or spicy goulash? Summery asparagus risotto or classic Milanese version? This area will, we hope, help you make up your mind!
Serves 4Braised Lamb with Flageolet Beans
Neck fillet of lamb provides very sweet meat that responds perfectly to long, slow cooking and if you add pre-soaked dried green flageolets to cook alongside it these, too, absorb the sweet flavours of the lamb.
Serves 6Baked Lamb with Rosemary with Redcurrant and Mint Sauce
This wonderful recipe combines the flavour of roast lamb with rosemary and mint - traditional herbs for lamb - plus redcurrants. A truly special way to serve up Sunday lunch...
Serves 4 (with plenty of leftovers for Boxing Day)Cheat’s Turkey with Pistachio and Apricot Stuffing and Pancetta and Cranberry, Balsamic and Sage Sauce
This really is Christmas eating without the hassle: Delia turns a turkey crown into a meal of real succulence and flavour, with a gorgeously festive stuffing and a sauce that has all the festive flavours of Christmas.
Serves 1Baked Lamb with Potato, Garlic and Rosemary
A great midweek supper or weekend treat, this recipe simply involves throwing lamb chops, garlic, herbs and potatoes into a baking tin and roasting. What could be easier?
Serves 20-25Baked Sugar-glazed Whole Gammon
For a smaller joint of boned gammon, such as a middle cut weighing 5-6 lb (2.25-2.75 kg), pre-soak and cook in exactly the same way, using half the quantity of glazing ingredients. Calculate 20 minutes per pound (450 g) and glaze during the last 30
Serves 8Brussels Sprouts in Riesling with Bacon
Braising sprouts in wine and adding bacon lifts them to the realm of something really exciting...even those who claim to hate sprouts will enjoy them when cooked like this.
Serves 6Beef in Barolo with Parmesan Mashed Potatoes
Cooking meat in wine adds flavour and prevents it from drying out, which is why this recipe is such a failsafe when entertaining. The Parmesan mashed potatoes are a wonderful accompaniment and keep the Italian vibe going.
Serves 4All-in-One Baked Vegetables
Who says cooking is difficult? This quick recipe is a great way of cooking several veggies at once - and roasting them retains all the flavour and nutritional value. Wonderful with the Sunday roast!
Serves 6-8Autumn Lamb Braised in Beaujolais
You could make this at any time of the year, but in Delia's view autumn lamb gives the most flavourful results. Serve it with plenty of mashed potato and root veg.
