A quick, adaptable homemade tomato sauce with real depth of flavour. Make a batch, freeze the rest, and turn it into midweek meals with pasta, gnocchi or chicken.

A classic apple crumble recipe with a twist: softened apples under a buttery 2:1:1 crumble topping, finished with crunchy nut granola for the last twelve minutes. Works with cooking or eating apples, takes about an hour, and is best...

A Basque-style beef ragu inspired by my trips to San Sebastian. Beef shin is slow-cooked in the oven with brandy, smoked pimentón, shallots, potatoes and peas for a comforting one-pot meal with no tomatoes in sight.

The classic Sunday roast, with a twist on the side: roast topside of beef with sticky balsamic beetroot and buttered Savoy cabbage, plus a temperature guide and one-oven timing plan.

A classic leek and potato soup made with slowly sweated leeks, thyme and rich bone broth, finished with a bubbling Gruyère toast.
