Easy white bread recipe Put the flour into a large mixing bowl and add the butter. Add the yeast at one side of the bowl and the salt at the other (otherwise the salt will kill the yeast). Stir all the ingredients together to combine.Add half of the water and use your fingers to move the mixture around the bowl picking up flour from the edges. Continue to add water a little at a time, combining well, until you’ve picked up all of the flour from the sides of the bowl. You may not need to add all of the water, or you may need to add a little more – you want a dough that is well combined and soft, but not sticky or soggy. Make sure all of the ingredients are combined and use the mixture to pick up any dry ingredients from the sides of the bowl. Keep going until the mixture forms a rough dough. Use about a teaspoon of oil to lightly grease a clean work surface (using oil instead of flour will keep the texture of the dough consistent). Turn out your dough onto the greased work surface (make sure you have plenty of space).Fold the far edge of the dough into the middle, then turn the dough by 45 degrees and repeat. Do this several times until the dough is very lightly coated all over in olive oil. Now use your hands to knead the dough: push the dough out in one direction with the heel of your hand, then fold it back on itself. Turn the dough by 90 degrees and repeat. Kneading in this way stretches the gluten and makes the dough elastic. Do this for about 4–5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and stretchy. Work quickly so that the mixture doesn’t stick to your hands – if it does get too sticky you can use a little flour to rub the dough off your hands.Clean and lightly oil your mixing bowl and put the dough back into it. Cover with a damp tea towel or lightly oiled cling film and set aside to prove. This gives the yeast time to work: the dough should double in size. This should take around one hour, but will vary depending on the temperature of your room (don’t put the bowl in a very hot place or the yeast will work too quickly). Line a baking tray with baking or silicone paper.Once the dough has doubled in size, scrape it out of the bowl to shape it. The texture should be bouncy and shiny. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knock it back by kneading it firmly to 'knock' out the air. Use your hand to roll the dough up, then turn by 45 degrees and roll it up again. Repeat several times. Gently turn and smooth the dough into a round loaf shape.Place the loaf onto the lined baking tray, cover with a tea towel or lightly oiled cling film and leave to prove again until it’s doubled in size. This will take about an hour, but may be quicker or slower depending on how warm your kitchen is.Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Put an old, empty roasting tin into the bottom of the oven.After an hour the loaf should have proved (risen again). Sprinkle some flour on top and very gently rub it all over the loaf. Use a large, sharp knife to make shallow cuts (about 1cm/½in deep) across the top of the loaf to create a diamond pattern. Put the loaf (on its baking tray) into the middle of the oven. Pour a little water into the empty roasting tray at the bottom of the oven just before you shut the door – this creates steam which helps the loaf develop a crisp, shiny crust.Bake the loaf for about 30 minutes. The loaf is cooked when it’s risen and golden. To check, take it out of the oven and tap it gently underneath – it should sound hollow. Place the loaf on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Put the flour into a large mixing bowl and add the butter.

Puff pastry is made of fine layers and normally you have to be very delicate with it. For sausage rolls the pastry needs to be slightly puffed, but not too much, so bashing it with a rolling pin reduces the amount it puffs up.Cut the large rectangle in half lengthways, then cut both smaller rectangles into eight equal sections. You now have 16 rectangles in total. Cut the large rectangle in half lengthways, then cut both smaller rectangles into eight equal sections. You now have 16 rectangles in total. Brush one end of each rectangle with a little of the beaten egg, lay a piece of sausage at the other end, then season the sausage with salt and freshly ground black pepper and sprinkle with thyme leaves. Roll the sausage up in the pastry to enclose and repeat with all the sausages. Put the sausage rolls in the fridge for 20 minutes for the pastry to harden. Once the pastry is hard, remove the sausage rolls from the fridge and score the tops with a sharp knife for decoration, or prick with a fork. Brush well all over with the rest of the beaten egg and bake in the oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the pastry has turned golden-brown and looks crisp.

Piñata cake recipe Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease and line the bases of four 20cm/8in cake tins with baking paper.In a freestanding mixer or a large bowl, cream the sugar and baking spread together until pale and fluffy, using a paddle attachment or electric hand whisk. Gradually add the eggs to the sugar mixture, combining well after each addition. Sift in the flour and baking powder and continue to mix until well combined. Divide the cake mixture equally between the prepared cake tins and bake for 30–35 minutes, until well risen, golden brown and springy to the touch. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for a few minutes before turning out onto cooling racks and leaving to cool completely.For the buttercream, beat the butter for 5 minutes (either using an electric hand whisk or a freestanding mixer fitted with a paddle attachment). Add the icing sugar in batches, mixing well between each addition. Once combined, add a tablespoon of milk and combine until smooth, adding a little more milk if the buttercream is too stiff. Transfer a quarter of the buttercream to a separate bowl and add a drop of the red food colouring to it. Mix until an even colour, adding more red colouring if a darker colour is required. Leave the other larger bowl of buttercream white.When the cakes are completely cool, use a large serrated knife to remove any domed tops from the cakes. Ideally the cakes should be completely flat on top. Using a 8–9cm/3¼–3½in round pastry cutter, cut out the centre from three of the cakes (alternatively use a bowl or glass as a guide). The holes need to be in the same place on each cake to create the cavity which will be filled with sweets. To arrange the cakes, set aside the uncut cake. Place one cake (with a hole in it) on a cake board, stand, or flat serving plate. Top with a layer of white buttercream and jam. Continue stacking the cakes in the same way, until you have three layers of cake on top of each other (each sandwiched with buttercream and jam) and a cavity in the centre. Fill the cavity with jelly beans and place the final layer of cake on top. Ensure the sides are straight and the top is flat.Crumb coat the cake by spreading a thin layer of the white buttercream all over the sides and top of the cake, using a large palette knife. The whole cake should be covered in a thin, even layer, but it doesn't need to be perfect at this stage. Chill the cake for 15–20 minutes. This will help to seal in the crumbs and make the top coat of icing easier to apply.When ready, decorate the cake by spreading the rest of the white buttercream all over the cake in a smooth even layer, using a cake smoother or a large pallet knife to get it really smooth (don't worry too much about the top as it will be covered with swirls of pink buttercream later). Arrange the sprinkles around the bottom of the sides of the cake, to come about half way up the sides. Chill for about 30 minutes to set the buttercream.Place the pink buttercream into a large piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle. Pipe swirls of pink buttercream all over the top of the cake. Top each swirl with a chocolate shape. Decorate the top of the cake with more sprinkles. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.

Rock cakes recipe An average of 4.7 out of 5 stars from 193 ratings https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/food/ic/food_16x9_1600/recipes/rock_cakes_03094_16x9.jpg Rock cakes are a light, crumbly tea-time favourite. Like scones they are best eaten while they are still warm from the oven, unlike scones they are very forgiving. In fact they are so easy to make, that children can join in the baking fun. Each serving provides 214 kcal, 3g protein, 29g carbohydrates (of which 14.5g sugars), 9.5g fat (of which 6g saturates), 1g fibre and 0.3g salt. 225g/8oz self-raising flour75g/2½oz caster sugar1 tsp baking powder125g/4½oz unsalted butter, cut into cubes150g/5½oz dried fruit (raisins, sultanas or currants)1 free-range egg1 tbsp milk2 tsp vanilla extract 225g/8oz self-raising flour 75g/2½oz caster sugar 1 tsp baking powder 125g/4½oz unsalted butter, cut into cubes 150g/5½oz dried fruit (raisins, sultanas or currants) 1 free-range egg 1 tbsp milk 2 tsp vanilla extract Method Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.

Recipe tips The texture should be a thick, lumpy dough - don’t be tempted to add too much liquid. Rock cake dough should be stiffer than scone dough. Chocolate chips can be used in place of the dried fruit. For a sweet crunchy finish, sprinkle the rock cakes with demerara sugar before baking. Freshen up slighly stale rock cakes by gently heating in a low oven for about 5 minutes.

Recipe tips You can use thick white bread instead of brioche for this recipe. Supermarket sliced white bread is not the best choice, as the preservatives that stop it going stale also stop it from soaking up the egg and milk mixture. Look for the reduced price white loaves in your local bakery. They'll be perfect.

Banana muffins recipe Choose overripe bananas for baking as they are naturally sweeter and will mash more easily. The best way to mash a banana is to use a fork. It doesn’t matter if it isn’t completely smooth. You can either melt the butter in a small saucepan over a low heat or in the microwave, loosely covered, for a few seconds. Instead of using both cinnamon and nutmeg, try a teaspoon of ground mixed spice. You can swap walnuts for pecan nuts or leave out nuts altogether if you prefer. Instead, you could sprinkle each muffin with a pinch of mixed seeds or top with a few porridge oat flakes. For extra special muffins, top each one with a couple of dried banana chips, pressing lightly into the batter. Try adding a small handful of dried fruit, such as sultanas or raisins to your batter. A few blueberries would also add a juicy burst. For a more indulgent treat, try a small handful of chocolate drops. You will need a 12-hole muffin tin for this recipe and 10 paper muffin cases. If you aren’t using paper cases, make sure you grease the tin really well. You can also sift a little flour into each hole, once greased, to help prevent the muffins sticking. How to freeze If you bake more than you need, keep the leftover muffins in a lidded container and eat within 2 days. Alternatively, you can freeze the muffins in a large, sealed freezer bag for up to two weeks. If you are keeping them in the freezer for any longer, wrap each one in foil before placing in the bag and they will last an extra 2–4 weeks without deteriorating. Best served warm, thaw at room temperature for a couple of hours and heat gently in a low oven for a few minutes before serving. You can also warm thawed muffins in a microwave oven for 20–30 seconds, but make sure you serve quickly as they will toughen on cooling. How to make ahead Muffins always taste better when they are freshly made. You can prepare this recipe up to 12 hours ahead – perfect if you are doing a school run in the afternoon, or want to get prepped for breakfast the night before. You’ll need to sift all the dry ingredients and stir in the sugar, then cover the bowl and put aside. Beat the wet ingredients, such as eggs and bananas, together, cover and put into the fridge. Get the muffin tin lined or greased. When you are ready to cook, preheat the oven and mix both sets of ingredients together, fill the cases and bake as above.

Roast beef dinner recipe Topside is often labelled as a generic 'roasting joint' in supermarkets. When choosing your beef, look for the most even shape you can find, ideally with a layer of fat. Sometimes topside is sold in irregular shapes, meaning the thinner or flatter ends will cook more quickly. Watch the cooking time carefully and ideally invest in a digital food thermometer for the best results. It will need to reach 52C for rare, 60C for medium and 71C for well-done meat. The beef cooks perfectly in a medium casserole. It will need to be suitable for the hob as well as the oven. If you don’t have a lidded casserole, you can also cook the beef in a sturdy roasting tin. Brown the beef and the vegetables in a frying pan before putting into the tin (deglaze with a little water and use for the gravy). They need to fit fairly snuggly, so the vegetables don’t spread out and burn. Ensure your tin is suitable for placing on the hob too. If there are no meat juices forming at the bottom of the casserole when you remove the lid or foil, add around 4–5 tablespoons water. Choose a board to rest your beef that has a channel around the sides to collect juices that you can use to give extra flavour to your gravy. Snip off all the string from the beef before carving. Any leftover meat can be served cold with salad or in sandwiches the next day. Keep covered in the fridge. Only carve what you need at the table and then carve again if serving cold.

Classic roast beef recipe Choosing your cut For this recipe I have chosen topside, one of the most popular and affordable cuts in the UK although top rump or sirloin will also work. If your meat comes with a layer of fat and bound by string, leave it on for cooking as it will help keep its shape and juiciness as well as improve its flavour. How much beef per person Allow 200–250g/7–9oz per person for boneless joints, this should be plenty and even allow for leftovers. Make a trivet To help keep the meat juicy and cook evenly all round make a little bed (trivet) of vegetables for your joint to sit on while it cooks. How do I know when it’s done? Testing the temperature with a cooking thermometer is by far the best way to see when the meat is done, although it’s important to remember that meat will rise a few degrees and carry on cooking once out of the oven. To test the temperature, insert the probe of your thermometer as close to the centre of the joint as you can get and wait for 15 seconds before checking the results. If you don’t have a thermometer, close to the recommended cooking time you can insert a skewer to help guide you. If the juices run red it is rare, pink its medium and clear its well done. As all ovens vary it is best to check the temperature 10 minutes before the calculated cooking time is up. How should I cook my meat? With the leaner cuts like topside and top rump I would recommend serving them rare to medium rare so they don’t dry out. I think sirloin is also at its best when eaten rare or medium rare but due to being a little fattier it can be cooked medium or even well done. Don’t forget to rest Once cooked, REST the meat before serving. This stage is as important as turning the oven on as it allows the juices to redistribute to give more tender succulent results.

James Martin's Yorkshire pudding recipe An average of 4.1 out of 5 stars from 62 ratings https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/food/ic/food_16x9_1600/recipes/yorkshirepudding_81824_16x9.jpg James Martin uses a lot of eggs in this Yorkshire pudding recipe for extra lift and a softer texture. Beef dripping adds extra flavour, but you can also use vegetable oil. 225g/8oz plain floursalt and freshly ground black pepper8 free-range eggs600ml/1 pint milk55g/2oz dripping 225g/8oz plain flour salt and freshly ground black pepper 8 free-range eggs 600ml/1 pint milk 55g/2oz dripping Method Put the flour and a little salt and freshly ground black pepper in a bowl. Add the eggs and mix using a whisk or fork until you have a smooth paste. Gradually pour in the milk, mixing slowly to prevent lumps forming.Cover the bowl with clingfilm and chill in the fridge overnight. Alternatively set aside for 2 hours.Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Put a little of the dripping in the holes of 3 four-hole Yorkshire pudding tins. Put the tins in the oven until smoking hot (5–10 minutes). Remove from the oven and quickly add the batter. Each hole should be about half full. Return to the oven and cook for 20–25 minutes.Very briefly open the oven door to let any steam escape. Turn the oven down to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5 and cook for a further 10 minutes until crisp to set the shape of the Yorkshire puddings (so they don't collapse when removed from the oven).

Remove from the oven and serve. Remove from the oven and serve. Recipe tips Resting the Yorkshire pudding batter is important as it allows the gluten in the flour to relax. This means it will be more stretchy when it's time to cook the puddings and you will see them raise beautifully in the oven. Make sure the oven is really hot, and don't open the oven door for the first 20 minutes of cooking. Opening the door will make the oven temperature drop briefly and you need it to stay really hot to set the shape of the puddings. Egg size is medium (so 53–63g each), if yours are larger, use fewer eggs with a total weight of around 450–475g/1lb–1lb 1oz.

Butterflied lamb with lemon and paprika recipe An average of 4.6 out of 5 stars from 16 ratings https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/food/ic/food_16x9_1600/recipes/butterflied_lamb_with_08901_16x9.jpg This leg of lamb can be cooked on the barbecue or in the oven.

Trim away any excess fat and sinew. Lay a piece of cling film over the meat and bash the surface with a rolling pin to flatten the thick sections lightly. The meat should be an even thickness throughout.Mix the marinade ingredients together. Rub the marinade all over the lamb and set aside in a roasting tin, skin-side up, for about 30 minutes.

Sweet potato shakshuka with sriracha butter recipe Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Poke the sweet potatoes all over with a fork (about 8–10 times) and place them on a parchment-lined baking tray. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until cooked through and softened. Set aside to cool and turn the oven temperature down to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Meanwhile, make the pickled onion. Mix together the onion, lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a small bowl and set aside to pickle.Remove the cooked potato skins and tear them into roughly 4cm/1½in pieces. Transfer the potato flesh to a large bowl and set aside. Place the skins back on the baking tray and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ¼ teaspoon of salt and a good grind of black pepper. Bake for 8 minutes, or until nicely coloured and starting to crisp. Set aside to cool and crisp further. Mash the potato flesh with a fork until smooth, then add the cheddar, garlic, cumin, another tablespoon of olive oil, the remaining tablespoon of lemon juice, a teaspoon of salt and a generous grind of black pepper. Mix to combine. Pour the remaining tablespoon of olive oil into a large frying pan, for which you have a lid, and swirl around to coat the bottom. Spoon the mashed potato mixture into the pan, using your spoon to distribute it evenly. Place over a medium-high heat and leave to cook for about 7 minutes, until the bottom starts to colour. Turn the heat down to low and use a spoon to make eight wells in the potato mixture, breaking an egg into each. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper, cover with the lid and cook for 4–5 minutes, rotating the pan occasionally, until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. While the eggs are cooking, put the butter and sriracha into a small saucepan on a medium heat and cook until the butter has melted, whisking constantly to emulsify. Remove the mixture from the heat before it starts to bubble, you don’t want it to split.When ready, spoon the sriracha butter all over the eggs, then top with a good handful of crispy potato skins, half the pickled onion and all the picked coriander leaves. Serve right away with the rest of the potato skins and pickled onion to eat alongside. Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7.

Quraac recipe An average of 5.0 out of 5 stars from 2 ratings These sweet enriched fried doughnuts from Somali are soaked in a delicious orange blossom sugar syrup. 150g/5½oz self-raising flour1 tsp ground cardamom pinch salt 100g/3½oz full-fat plain yoghurt 115ml/3¾fl oz full-fat milk, warmed750ml/1½ pints sunflower oil, for deep-fryingdesiccated coconut, to serve (optional) 150g/5½oz self-raising flour 1 tsp ground cardamom pinch salt 100g/3½oz full-fat plain yoghurt 115ml/3¾fl oz full-fat milk, warmed 750ml/1½ pints sunflower oil, for deep-frying desiccated coconut, to serve (optional) 100g/3½oz brown granulated sugar 1 tsp orange blossom water 100g/3½oz brown granulated sugar 1 tsp orange blossom water Method To make the quraac, place all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the yoghurt and knead with your hands until everything is mixed together. Add the warm milk and beat with your hands until the mixture is smooth and has a thick, batter-like consistency. (To get all the air you need into the quraac, do this for about 3 minutes.) Heat the oil in a deep saucepan that is about 20cm/8in in diameter to 180–200C (or use whatever oil or pan you prefer as long as there's enough oil to deep-fry). (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.) Meanwhile, make the sugar syrup. Place the sugar and 100ml/3½fl oz water in a small saucepan. Gently heat for about 5 minutes or until the sugar dissolves and the liquid is slightly thicker (but not too thick). Stir through the orange blossom water at the end. Set aside. When the oil is hot, use a dessertspoon to scoop each quraac into the hot oil. Fry for about 2–3 minutes, or until deep golden brown. Carefully transfer the quraac to a bowl or plate lined with kitchen paper to soak up the oil. Transfer to a separate bowl and cover with the sugar syrup, using a spoon to move the doughnuts around so they are all covered equally.

Stir to combine and cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes.Pour in the chicken stock and bring to the boil over a high heat. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to medium–low and leave to simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 50 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Add a few tablespoons of water if it looks dry at any point. Remove the chicken from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool. Once cooled, cut into 1cm/½ in pieces and return to the fridge until ready to use. Stir the honey and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon into the pan and continue cooking over a medium–low heat, uncovered and stirring occasionally, for 50 minutes, until the onions are golden brown and all the liquid has evaporated.

Jollof Quorn pilau with salted cucumber recipe An average of 3.6 out of 5 stars from 9 ratings This is a quick and easy one-pot recipe for jollof rice, a much-loved African street food, made using an easy homemade spice mixture that you can save to use in other recipes too. 30g/1oz ground ginger 30g/1oz garlic granules45g/1½oz chilli flakes 20g/¾oz dried thyme 20g/¾oz ground cinnamon 15g/½oz ground nutmeg20g/¾oz ground coriander 1 tbsp salt 1 tbsp ground black pepper 30g/1oz ground ginger 30g/1oz garlic granules 45g/1½oz chilli flakes 20g/¾oz dried thyme 20g/¾oz ground cinnamon 15g/½oz ground nutmeg 20g/¾oz ground coriander 1 tbsp salt 1 tbsp ground black pepper 500g/1lb 2oz basmati rice 5 tbsp olive oil 1 onion, diced 2 tsp salt 300g/10½oz Quorn pieces 4 tbsp jollof spice mix (see above) 500g/1lb 2oz basmati rice 5 tbsp olive oil 1 onion, diced 2 tsp salt 300g/10½oz Quorn pieces 4 tbsp jollof spice mix (see above) 1 large cucumber, cut in half lengthways and thinly sliced on an angle 1 red onion, thinly sliced 20g/¾oz rock salt 1 large cucumber, cut in half lengthways and thinly sliced on an angle 1 red onion, thinly sliced 20g/¾oz rock salt Method Start by making the jollof spice mix. Put all the spices into a large jar. We only need a little for this recipe – the rest can be covered and put away from another occasion. For the pilau, soak the rice in a large bowl of cold water. For the salted cucumber, put the cucumber, onion and salt into a bowl. Give it a stir and set aside. To make the pilau, you need a large saucepan with a lid – the dish will be made in one pot. Put the pan on a high heat and add the oil. As soon as the oil is hot, add the onion and salt, and cook until the onion is soft. Now add the Quorn and fry it with the onions for a few minutes. Add 4 tablespoons of the jollof spice mix and stir well. If the spices start to stick to the base of the pan, add a small splash of water. Cook the spices for at least 10 minutes on a low heat. Drain the rice in a sieve, making sure you remove all the water. Add the rice to the pan of onions and Quorn, and stir it in so it gets coated with all the delicious spices. Boil a full kettle of water and have it at the ready. Pour boiling water on to the rice and keep going until the water is a couple of centimetres above the rice. I like to be accurate and even have a rice ruler to make sure. Boil on a high heat, making sure to stir all the time. As soon as all the water has been absorbed, pop a lid on the pan and leave the rice to steam for 15 minutes on the lowest hob setting. When the rice is ready, fluff it up, using a fork. Drain the cucumber in a colander and rinse with a little water to get rid of any excess salt. The cucumber and onion should be soft. Serve alongside the rice. Start by making the jollof spice mix.

Piri-piri sauce recipe An average of 4.0 out of 5 stars from 4 ratings https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/food/ic/food_16x9_1600/recipes/piri-piri_sauce_59380_16x9.jpg The infamous Portuguese piri-piri hot sauce is made with bird’s-eye chillies and is great with chicken wings or prawns. It adds a fragrant heat and makes any meal tongue-tinglingly special. 4 large red peppers10 large red chillies1 large red onion4 garlic cloves5 bird’s-eye chillies100ml/3½fl oz olive oil1 heaped tbsp smoked paprika1 tbsp dried oregano100ml/3½fl oz lemon juice70ml/2⅓fl oz red wine vinegar15g/½oz sea salt1 tsp black pepper1 lemon, zest only 4 large red peppers 10 large red chillies 1 large red onion 4 garlic cloves 5 bird’s-eye chillies 100ml/3½fl oz olive oil 1 heaped tbsp smoked paprika 1 tbsp dried oregano 100ml/3½fl oz lemon juice 70ml/2⅓fl oz red wine vinegar 15g/½oz sea salt 1 tsp black pepper 1 lemon, zest only Method Place the red peppers and red chillies on a heavy baking tray, then carefully char them all over using a blowtorch if you have one, or the flame on a gas hob. Alternatively, place them under a very hot grill. Transfer the charred peppers and chillies to a bowl and cover with cling film. Leave for 10 minutes so they steam while cooling, softening the skins.Meanwhile, peel and finely chop the red onion then peel and grate the garlic. Remove the green stalks from the bird’s-eye chillies then chop the chillies thoroughly, leaving the seeds in for that piri-piri kick.Use your fingers or a tea towel to slide the skins off the charred peppers and chillies, but don’t worry if there’s little bits left as this will lend the sauce an authentic grilled flavour. Remove all the seeds, then put the prepared peppers and chillies into a food processor.Add the chopped bird’s-eye chillies to the food processor. Pulse to blend the peppers and chillies together coarsely. Alternatively, you can chop them all by hand.Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. It might seem a lot but will help to emulsify your sauce. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and cook until just caramelised to bring out the sweetness and complement the fragrant chilli heat.Add the garlic to the pan and cook for 1 minute. Add the coarsely blended peppers and chillies.Stir in the paprika and oregano then cook the mixture for 3 minutes before adding the lemon juice, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Turn the heat down low and cook the sauce for a further 25 minutes.After this time, remove the pan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool for 10 minutes. Carefully transfer it back into the food processor and blend for 4 minutes until you have a super smooth sauce.Season the piri-piri sauce with the fresh lemon zest to taste.

Piri-piri roast chicken recipe An average of 4.8 out of 5 stars from 12 ratings https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/food/ic/food_16x9_1600/recipes/peri_peri_roast_chicken_75450_16x9.jpg A spicy and different way to cook a roast chicken, this can be as hot as you like. Just increase the quantities of chilli and Tabasco sauce. 2kg/4½lb whole chicken (preferably free-range or organic) salt and freshly ground black pepper150ml/5fl oz water, chicken stock or red wine 2kg/4½lb whole chicken (preferably free-range or organic) salt and freshly ground black pepper 150ml/5fl oz water, chicken stock or red wine 5 garlic cloves1-5 red chillies (as hot as you dare!)2cm/1in piece of ginger, grated50ml/2fl oz vegetable oil25ml/1 fl oz white or red wine vinegar3 tbsp soy sauce1-2 tbsp Tabasco (again as hot as you dare!)2 tbsp smoked paprika3 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp caster sugar (optional)1 lime, zest and juice 5 garlic cloves 1-5 red chillies (as hot as you dare!) 2cm/1in piece of ginger, grated 50ml/2fl oz vegetable oil 25ml/1 fl oz white or red wine vinegar 3 tbsp soy sauce 1-2 tbsp Tabasco (again as hot as you dare!) 2 tbsp smoked paprika 3 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp caster sugar (optional) 1 lime, zest and juice 3 red onions 500g/1lb 2oz baby new potatoes 3 red onions 500g/1lb 2oz baby new potatoes 1 lime, juice only1 tsp caster sugar (or a squidge of honey)3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil130g/4½oz crispy salad leaves 1 lime, juice only 1 tsp caster sugar (or a squidge of honey) 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 130g/4½oz crispy salad leaves Method Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Sit the chicken in a large roasting tin and season well with salt and pepper and a drizzle of oil. Place in the oven and cook for about an hour. For the peri peri sauce, peel and roughly chop the garlic, halve, deseed and finely chop the chillies and place both in a small bowl. Add the rest of the peri peri sauce ingredients and stir to combine.Remove the chicken from the oven and tip three-quarters of the peri peri sauce over the chicken and spread it all over with the back of a spoon. Peel and quarter the onions, leaving the roots intact, and toss them in around the chicken along with the potatoes. Season them with salt and pepper and then return to the oven to cook for the final 40-50 minutes. At the end of the cooking time the chicken will most likely look burnt, but worry not, this is the peri peri style.To check the chicken is cooked, pierce the thickest part of a thigh with the point of a sharp knife and the juices should run clear (without any pinkness). Once cooked, carefully lift the chicken from the roasting tin onto a plate and cover it loosely with foil so it can rest and become juicier. Using a slotted spoon remove the vegetables from the tin also, transferring them to a medium ovenproof dish. Then, put them back in the oven (with the oven now turned off) to keep warm. Carefully pour the oil out from the roasting tin, leaving the juice and sticky bits behind. Put it on a medium heat and add the remaining sauce and the water, stock or red wine. Allow to simmer for a few minutes, scraping up all the sticky bits from the bottom. Meanwhile, prepare the salad. Squeeze the lime juice into a mug or small bowl and add the sugar (or honey), extra virgin olive oil and a little salt and pepper. Give it a good whisk up. Tip the salad leaves into a large salad serving bowl, pour the dressing over and toss the leaves about. Returning to the chicken, pour any juices on the plate into the sauce before carving the meat. Arrange on serving plates with the roasted onions and potatoes. Serve with the dressed salad and the sauce in a small jug. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.

Recipe tips A 1.5-1.8Kg (3Lb 6oz – 4Lb) chicken would be about enough to serve four people but I have given the recipe using a bigger bird so that it gives some leftover chicken for sandwiches the next day. If you use a different size to the one below then work out the cooking time based on 20 minutes per 450g (1Lb) plus 20 minutes. Regardless what size bird you use, cover it after 1 hour and add the onions and potatoes about 45 minutes before the end of cooking time. To speed up the process, use some good sharp scissors to snip the chicken along the backbone to splay it out and cook flat.

(Thicker chicken breasts will take longer to cook.) A 150–200g/5½–7oz skinless chicken breast fillet will need 16–18 minutes; a 200–250g/7–9oz one 18–20 minutes; and a 250–300g/9–10½ one 20–22 minutes. If cooking more than four breasts at a time, increase the cooking time by 5 minutes, and don’t forget to check that each breast is cooked through.If you have a digital food thermometer, test the internal temperature through the thickest part of each chicken breast. It should reach at least 75C. Alternatively, pierce the thickest part of the breast with a skewer and check that the juices run clear; make sure there is no pinkness remaining when the chicken is sliced.

Recipe tips A digital food thermometer will help you achieve perfect results whatever the size of the chicken breast. Sometimes very large chicken breasts are cut in the packs to come closer to 150g, but this can mean they are very thick and take longer to cook than a genuine 150g breast. Lining the tray with baking paper means the chicken juices will collect as the breasts are cooked and rested. The juices can be spooned over the hot chicken as a light gravy.

Peanut butter squares recipe An average of 4.6 out of 5 stars from 46 ratings https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/food/ic/food_16x9_1600/recipes/peanut_butter_squares_17553_16x9.jpg I was recipe testing some millionaire’s shortbread and found I did not have enough of the correct ingredients. A family-sized pot of crunchy peanut butter sat almost full at the back of my cupboard, providing me with some nutty inspiration for these peanut butter squares. 150g/5½oz butter200g/7oz dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa solids) or milk chocolate (or a mixture of both)250g/9oz digestive biscuits200g/7oz soft light brown sugar 300g/10½oz crunchy peanut butter1 tsp vanilla extract 150g/5½oz butter 200g/7oz dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa solids) or milk chocolate (or a mixture of both) 250g/9oz digestive biscuits 200g/7oz soft light brown sugar 300g/10½oz crunchy peanut butter 1 tsp vanilla extract Method Line a 20cm/8in square tin with baking parchment, leaving some excess paper hanging over the edges (this makes it easier to lift out once set).Melt the butter in a large pan over a low heat. Snap the chocolate into squares and throw into a small bowl. Melt in the microwave in 30 second blasts, stirring well between each addition or sit the bowl over a pan over simmering water. Make sure that the bottom of the pan does not touch the water or the chocolate may ‘seize’ and go really grainy and stiff.Blitz the digestive biscuits and brown sugar in a blender or food processor to give fine crumbs. Tip them into the melted butter. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract and mix together so everything is well combined.Tip the mixture into the lined tin and press it down really hard with the back of the spoon. It needs to be really compact and tight. Then pour over the melted chocolate, tilting the tin back and forth a bit so that the whole thing is evenly covered. Pop in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up (or the fridge for an hour).Once the chocolate is set, remove it from the freezer (or fridge). Lift it out of the tin with the help of the baking parchment. Remove the paper and then use a sharp knife to divide it into 16 squares and serve.

Parmesan biscuits recipe An average of 4.7 out of 5 stars from 54 ratings https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/food/ic/food_16x9_832/recipes/parmesan_biscuits_54963_16x9.jpg You’ll never tire of cooking Simon Hopkinson’s easy cheesy biscuit recipe: perfect for weekend baking. 100g/3½ oz cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks100g/3½ oz plain flour, plus extra for flouringpinch saltpinch cayenne pepper1 heaped tsp mustard powder50g/1¾ oz finely grated mature cheddar50g/1¾ oz finely grated parmesan, or similar vegetarian hard cheese, plus a little extra1 egg, beaten 100g/3½ oz cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks 100g/3½ oz plain flour, plus extra for flouring pinch salt pinch cayenne pepper 1 heaped tsp mustard powder 50g/1¾ oz finely grated mature cheddar 50g/1¾ oz finely grated parmesan, or similar vegetarian hard cheese, plus a little extra 1 egg, beaten Method Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.Place the butter and flour into the bowl of a food processor with the salt, cayenne, mustard powder and cheeses. Process together to begin with, and then finely pulse the mixture in short spurts as you notice the mixture coming together - it will eventually bind without the need for egg or water. Wrap in cling film and leave to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.Lightly flour a work surface and gently roll out the pastry to about the thickness of two pound coins. Cut out the biscuits to the size and shape you wish - anything between 3cm/1¼in and 5cm/2in, depending on the occasion. Lay them out on a greased baking tray about 2cm/¾in apart - it may take two lots of baking to use up the entire mixture.Carefully brush the surface of each biscuit with the egg and sprinkle over a little finely grated parmesan. Bake for 10 minutes, or until they are a gorgeous golden-brown colour; the superb smell will also inform you that they are ready.Carefully lift the biscuits off the tray using a palette knife and place on a rack to cool.

Gingerbread cookies recipe Put both types of sugar, the golden syrup and the butter in a heavy-based saucepan. Set it over a medium heat and warm, stirring occasionally, until the butter has melted and the sugars have dissolved. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and leave to cool for about 5 minutes before beating in the egg. Sift over the flour and then the spices, one at a time, mixing gently after each addition, to make a soft dough.Put the dough into a food bag, or wrap in cling film. Chill for several hours, preferably overnight, to firm up – this makes the dough easier to roll out.Remove the dough from the fridge 15–30 minutes before rolling it, so it can soften slightly.Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.Roll out the dough between sheets of baking parchment to the thickness of a £1 coin. If the dough seems very sticky, dust it and the parchment lightly with a little flour. Peel off the top parchment sheet, then using a template or gift tag, cut out your tags with a sharp knife. You could also use a suitably sized cutter-approx 5 x7cm. Gather up the dough trimmings and re-roll them between more parchment paper to cut more tags. Lift the tags, on the parchment, on to a baking tray. If necessary, trim off the top corners of each tag with a knife to make the classic tag shape. Create a hole near one end with the end of the drinking straw. If you want to emboss your tags, do it now. Chill for about 15 minutes.Bake for 8–12 minutes or until a rich golden-brown. Leave to firm up on the tray, then lift, still on the parchment, on to a wire rack to cool.To finish the biscuit tags, roll out the fondant between two pieces of baking parchment to a 2mm thickness. Peel off the top sheet of parchment and use a 1.5cm round piping nozzle or a pen lid to cut out circles. Use a paintbrush to apply a tiny bit of water or runny honey to each biscuit tag around the cut-out hole, to act as glue, then place a circle of fondant on top. Use the drinking straw or the end of the paintbrush to push the fondant through the hole in the biscuit, leaving a white border.Leave to set before threading strawberry laces through the holes.

Grapefruit and ginger meringue pie recipe For the pastry, sift the flour, sugar, salt, ginger and cinnamon into a large bowl. Add the butter and, working quickly, rub the mixture together between your thumb and forefinger until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.Add the yolks and 3 tablespoons water. Using your hands, mix to form a dough.Turn onto a very lightly floured work surface. Gently and quickly knead the dough until it becomes smooth. Flatten the dough into a disc and wrap in cling film. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or freeze for 10 minutes.Once the pastry has chilled, roll it out thinly on a lightly floured surface. Lift the dough into the tart tin and press into the edges. Leave any excess overhanging the sides of the tart tin. Prick the base with a fork and line with baking paper. Fill with baking beans or uncooked rice and chill again for 10 minutes.Preheat the oven to 180C/170C Fan/Gas 4.For the filling, add the juice and zest of the grapefruits to a large saucepan. Add the ginger and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 minutes, then strain to remove the ginger and set the juice aside to cool.In a separate heatproof bowl, add the yolks, eggs, sugar, cornflour and salt. Whisk to combine then set the bowl over a pan of gently simmering water (do not allow the water to touch the bowl). Pour in the grapefruit juice and whisk the mixture for about 15 minutes, or until it starts to thicken. Add the butter piece by piece, whisking all the time for about 15 minutes, or until the mixture is very thick. (If the mixture is taking too long to thicken, transfer the mixture to a pan and heat gently until thick.) Place some cling film on the surface of the curd to prevent a skin forming and set aside.Remove the pastry from the fridge, place the tin on a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the baking beans and greaseproof paper. Brush the base well with beaten egg and bake for another 7–10 minutes, or until the pastry is dry and pale golden-brown. Set aside to cool in the tin, then using a sharp knife cut away the overhanging edge. For the Italian meringue, add the sugar and 180ml/6¼fl oz water to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. While the sugar and water is being heated, use a paper towel to rub the inside of the bowl of a freestanding mixer with the lemon juice (this will remove any traces of grease that can cause meringues to fail). Add the egg whites to the bowl and whisk on a medium speed until stiff peaks form when the whisk is removed. Once the sugar syrup has reached 113C on a sugar thermometer, remove it from the heat.

Courgette fritters with marinara sauce recipe For the roasted garlic skinny dip, preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7 (fan 200C). Drizzle the oil in the centre of a 20cm/8in square of aluminium foil and sit the garlic, cut-side down on top. Wrap up loosely, sit on a small baking tray and pop in the oven straight away (even if the oven is not hot enough) to cook for about 50-55 minutes, or until very soft. For the marinara sauce, heat the oil in a medium pan over a low heat. Add the onion and cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until beginning to soften, stirring regularly. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute. Stir the tomatoes, thyme, sugar (if you think it needs a little sweetening) and some salt and pepper. Turn down the heat so that the mixture is just simmering and leave to cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the flavours have intensified. Meanwhile, make the courgette fritters. Line two large baking trays with baking parchment. Beat the eggs in a large shallow bowl. Put the flour into another and stir in a couple of large pinches of salt and lots of pepper. Divide the breadcrumbs, parmesan and rosemary evenly between two large shallow bowls and set aside. Trim the courgette ends and slice one lengthways into three evenly-sized slices. Cut each slice into three long, evenly-sized strips and then in half across their width to give 18 chips. Repeat with the second courgette to give 36 chips in total. Each one will be about 1.5cm/¾in wide and 7-8cm/3in long, depending on the size of your courgettes.Working with a few at a time, toss the courgette batons in the flour until well coated - this will help the egg to stick in the next stage. Toss through the beaten egg and, after allowing the excess egg to drip off, roll them around in one of the batches of breadcrumbs to stick all over evenly. Arrange in a single layer on the baking trays as you go. Repeat until all of the courgettes are coated, using the second batch of breadcrumbs once the first has been used up. The marinara sauce will probably be nice and thick at this stage. If it's too thick to pour, stir in a little water. Remove from the heat, season to taste with salt and pepper, add the basil leaves and cover to keep warm until ready to serve.Spray the courgettes with the oil and place in the oven for 20 minutes. If tight on space, nestle the garlic parcel onto one of the courgette trays. Half way through cooking time, remove the courgettes, turn them over, give another spray and pop them back in the oven - this time on the opposite shelves to what they were already on. Once cooked, they should be lightly browned and very crisp all over. Once softened, remove the garlic from the oven and, when cool enough to handle, unwrap it and squeeze the garlic cloves from their papery skins into a bowl. Mash lightly with a fork and then add the cream cheese, yoghurt and chives and stir everything together really well. Season to taste and spoon into a serving bowl.Spoon the marinara sauce in a serving bowl. Pile the courgettes onto a serving platter and serve with the lemon wedges. For the roasted garlic skinny dip, preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7 (fan 200C). Drizzle the oil in the centre of a 20cm/8in square of aluminium foil and sit the garlic, cut-side down on top. Wrap up loosely, sit on a small baking tray and pop in the oven straight away (even if the oven is not hot enough) to cook for about 50-55 minutes, or until very soft.

For the marinara sauce, heat the oil in a medium pan over a low heat. Add the onion and cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until beginning to soften, stirring regularly. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute. Stir the tomatoes, thyme, sugar (if you think it needs a little sweetening) and some salt and pepper. Turn down the heat so that the mixture is just simmering and leave to cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the flavours have intensified.

Meanwhile, make the courgette fritters. Line two large baking trays with baking parchment. Beat the eggs in a large shallow bowl. Put the flour into another and stir in a couple of large pinches of salt and lots of pepper. Divide the breadcrumbs, parmesan and rosemary evenly between two large shallow bowls and set aside.
