Sponge cake calculator Ever wished you could make that cake recipe just a little bigger or smaller for the tins you have? Or know how much icing to cover a batch of cupcakes? Or how much fondant icing you need to cover different sizes of cake? Our cake calculator will give you the perfect recipe – whatever tins you have in – with a choice of four different flavours and styles of icing. Just type in the number of people you want to serve or the tin size you plan to use, and it will generate a recipe – square, round, traybake, cupcakes or fairy cakes. Whether you go for chocolate, coffee, lemon or classic vanilla, fondant, buttercream or drizzle, we’ve done the maths for you so you can get straight to baking. It’s great for birthday cakes, Halloween cakes, or any special occasion for which you have the perfect idea, but need to adapt it to your own equipment. The possibilities are endless! Notes on the cake calculator The cake calculator is designed for the home kitchen, and all you need to bake the cakes is a cake tin, a simple electric mixer or mixing bowl, a wooden spoon, a spatula and a handful of ingredients. The traybake and layer cake make up to 40 servings, and the cupcakes and fairy cakes make up to 24 cakes. If you're baking for larger numbers, simply re-run the calculator for a second batch. Recipes for larger layer cakes mix and bake one layer at a time, so you can mix a manageable amount of batter and re-use a single large tin. The recipe uses UK medium eggs (approx 60g/2¼oz). Buttercream icing We’ve allowed 30g/1oz buttercream icing for each cupcake and 20g/¾oz for fairy cakes. This is enough to pipe a modest rose, but not a skyscraper swirl. If you like a lot of icing, you may want to double the recipe. Fondant icing We have given generous quantities of fondant icing to help you cover your cake smoothly. You may have some excess. A small amount of buttercream is suggested to help the fondant stick to the cake. Glacé icing When making glacé icing, add the liquid to the icing sugar slowly, as you may need less (or more) to create the consistency you like. A runnier consistency is great for slightly soaking into the cake and dripping down the sides, but you can also make a just-spoonable consistency to sit neatly on top of a cake.

Or know how much icing to cover a batch of cupcakes? Or how much fondant icing you need to cover different sizes of cake? Our cake calculator will give you the perfect recipe – whatever tins you have in – with a choice of four different flavours and styles of icing. Just type in the number of people you want to serve or the tin size you plan to use, and it will generate a recipe – square, round, traybake, cupcakes or fairy cakes. Whether you go for chocolate, coffee, lemon or classic vanilla, fondant, buttercream or drizzle, we’ve done the maths for you so you can get straight to baking. It’s great for birthday cakes, Halloween cakes, or any special occasion for which you have the perfect idea, but need to adapt it to your own equipment. The possibilities are endless! Notes on the cake calculator The cake calculator is designed for the home kitchen, and all you need to bake the cakes is a cake tin, a simple electric mixer or mixing bowl, a wooden spoon, a spatula and a handful of ingredients. The traybake and layer cake make up to 40 servings, and the cupcakes and fairy cakes make up to 24 cakes. If you're baking for larger numbers, simply re-run the calculator for a second batch. Recipes for larger layer cakes mix and bake one layer at a time, so you can mix a manageable amount of batter and re-use a single large tin. The recipe uses UK medium eggs (approx 60g/2¼oz). Buttercream icing We’ve allowed 30g/1oz buttercream icing for each cupcake and 20g/¾oz for fairy cakes. This is enough to pipe a modest rose, but not a skyscraper swirl. If you like a lot of icing, you may want to double the recipe. Fondant icing We have given generous quantities of fondant icing to help you cover your cake smoothly. You may have some excess. A small amount of buttercream is suggested to help the fondant stick to the cake.

Whisk the buttermilk, butter and eggs together in a bowl. In a separate large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and sugar. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry until you have a smooth cake batter. Pour evenly into the lined tin and bake for 35 minutes, or until the sponge is well risen, and a skewer comes out clean. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes, then take the sponge out of the tin onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely. Once cool, make the creamy chocolate icing. Put the butter and icing sugar into a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer and beat with an electric whisk for 4–5 minutes, or until pale and fluffy. Melt the dark chocolate in a bowl. You can either do this in the microwave – put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl, microwave for 20 seconds, check it, stir and keep cooking and checking every couple of seconds until it has melted. Alternatively melt in a heatproof bowl placed over a pan of simmering water. Beat the melted dark chocolate into the butter and icing sugar. Scrape down the sides of the bowl so that everything is combined. Beat in the milk to loosen the mixture slightly. Swirl the chocolate icing over the top of the traybake and top with the mini gingerbread men, sprinkles and, if liked, gold lustre.

Mary Berry's chocolate sponge cake recipe Mixing the cocoa powder with boiling water is a process called blooming. It intensifies the flavour of the cocoa powder giving a really chocolatey flavour. Mary uses the all-in-one method for her cakes. It helps to have very soft butter (or margarine that's suitable for baking) so that you don't overbeat the mixture. Overbeating could result in a tougher cake texture. To soften your butter, cut into small cubes, spread onto a plate, cover lightly with kitchen paper and leave at room temperature for at least 30 minutes (or watch the How-to video below). Mary's preference for dark chocolate is to use varieties with 40–50 percent cocoa solids. A higher amount of cocoa solids will still work well but makes a deeper, less sweet cake. Whatever you use, make sure you chop it into small even pieces (you could even grate it). The name sandwich tin is a little confusing as they aren’t anything to do with bread-based sandwiches but are designed for baking round sponge cakes that you ‘sandwich’ together with a filling. It’s worth treating yourself to a set of loose-based sandwich tins with straight vertical sides rather than tapering side produce a better-looking cake that’s also easier to ice. The loose base makes it easier to lift the sponge out. A rounded teaspoon is a measure of a dry ingredient, such baking powder or a spice, that’s been scooped into a teaspoon leaving a few millimetres rising above the rim of the spoon, rather than a ‘level’ teaspoon where a knife has been taken across the rim to give a flat surface. It’s a useful measure for recipe when a little more than a teaspoon of an ingredient is called for and is roughly equal to 1¼ tsp. Golden caster sugar is made using unrefined sugar. It’s a pale sandy colour and gives a mild caramel-like flavour to bakes. White caster sugar can be substituted but, if you want a richer flavour, try mixing a little soft light brown sugar with caster sugar. To help make your sponges evenly sized for a more professional finish, weigh the cake batter in the tins to make sure they are the same before you bake them. Chocolate ganache makes a super-simple icing for chocolate cakes and looks really impressive. You’ll need to leave it to cool for up to an hour before it’s ready to use. It should be soft, creamy and easily spreadable, but if it’s too soft it will run down the sides of the sponges. It's also crucial the cakes are completely cold before icing, as any residual heat could melt the ganache. If you don’t have apricot jam, you can use seedless raspberry instead. Or push any raspberry or strawberry jam through a sieve to remove the seeds, adding an extra tablespoon to make up for any loss. The jam isn’t essential to the cake, although it helps balance the flavour of the super-rich chocolate ganache, so feel free to skip it if you prefer. To make an orange-flavoured chocolate cake, add the finely grated zest of one orange to the cake batter and spread the cake with fine shred marmalade instead of apricot jam. How to freeze The sponges for this cake can be frozen ahead if you like. Allow them to cool completely, then place each one on a circle of baking paper and cover with another circle of baking paper – this will help prevent the sponge sticking – before wrapping tightly in two layers of kitchen foil. Label and freeze for up to 1 month. To thaw, unwrap and place the frozen cakes a wire rack, loosely covered with foil. Leave at room temperature for about an hour before icing.

Recipe tips Make sure the cake is completely cool before you ice it or the ganache will melt. If your kitchen is particularly hot you might need to chill the ganache in the fridge. It's best to do this in short bursts: chill the ganache for 5 minutes then stir, repeat until you have an easily spreadable texture. The cake is best stored at room temperature in an air tight container.

Set aside.Cream the butter and sugar together using an electric whisk until pale and fluffy (this will take a little longer than when using caster sugar). Continue to whisk while gradually adding the beaten eggs, a little at a time. If the mixture starts to curdle, add 1–2 teaspoons of the sifted flour from the other bowl. Once the eggs are incorporated, whisk in the melted chocolate and vanilla, then about half of the milk, adding it gradually. Add half of the flour mixture and fold in using large metal spoon or silicone spatula. Gradually add the remaining milk and fold in the remaining flour. Divide between the prepared tins and gently smooth the tops. Bake for approximately 30–35 minutes or until the sponges are light and springy, have slightly shrunk away from the sides of the tins and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool for 15 minutes in the tins, then loosen around the edges with a knife and turn onto wire racks to completely cool before icing. To make the ganache, finely chop the chocolate and put it in a bowl.Heat the cream in a small pan until steaming. Just before it comes to the boil, remove from the heat and pour it over the chocolate. Let it sit undisturbed for 30 seconds, then start stirring slowly from the middle, working your way outwards until you have a smooth ganache. If there are still a few lumps that aren’t melted, place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir until everything is melted and smooth. Leave the ganache to cool at room temperature. Once the ganache is cooled and thick, spread half of it over one of the cooled sponges. Layer the other sponge on top and finish with the remaining ganache. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/ Gas 4. Grease and line 2 x 20cm/8in deep sandwich cake tins. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/ Gas 4. Grease and line 2 x 20cm/8in deep sandwich cake tins.

Recipe tips Make sure the cake is completely cool before you ice it or the ganache will melt. If your kitchen is particularly hot you might need to chill the ganache in the fridge. It's best to do this in short bursts: chill the ganache for 5 minutes then stir, repeat until you have an easily spreadable texture. The cake is best stored at room temperature in an air tight container." }, "content_info": { "domain": "Food & Cooking", "subdomain": "Recipes" } }

Recipe tips Tip 1: Use chocolate with no more than 40–50 percent cocoa solids as the richer types of chocolate can make this dessert too bitter. Tip 2: This dish can be made 1-2 days in advance - just chill in the fridge without the fruit topping until needed. The sponge base can be made ahead and frozen, then defrosted prior to adding the mousse layer.

Mary Berry's easy chocolate cake recipe An average of 4.2 out of 5 stars from 125 ratings https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/food/ic/food_16x9_1600/recipes/definitivechocolatec_72226_16x9.jpg Using her preferred all-in-one method, Mary's easiest ever chocolate cake recipe is simply filled with cream and jam. This is a light and airy chocolate cake for those who don't like it too rich. It's a great base for whipped cream and fresh fruit or jam. 225g/8oz unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for greasing225g/8oz caster sugar, plus extra for sprinkling4 free-range eggs220g/7¾oz self-raising flour1 tsp baking powder50g/1¾oz cocoa powder 225g/8oz unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for greasing 225g/8oz caster sugar, plus extra for sprinkling 4 free-range eggs 220g/7¾oz self-raising flour 1 tsp baking powder 50g/1¾oz cocoa powder 4 tbsp apricot jam300ml/10½fl oz whipping cream, softly whipped 4 tbsp apricot jam 300ml/10½fl oz whipping cream, softly whipped Method Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Lightly butter two loose-bottomed 20cm/8in sandwich tins and line the bases with baking paper. Put the butter, sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder and cocoa in a large bowl and beat for 2 minutes, or until just blended. (An electric mixer is best for this, but you can also beat by hand using a wooden spoon.)Divide the mixture evenly between the tins. Level the surface using a spatula or the back of a spoon.Bake for 25–30 minutes. The tops of the cakes should spring back when pressed lightly with a finger.

Chocolate hazelnut cake recipe Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Put the hazelnuts on a baking tray and roast them in the centre of the oven for 10 minutes, giving the pan a shake halfway through, until they are golden brown. Watch them carefully so that they don’t burn. Remove and leave them to cool for a few minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 180C/350F/Gas 4.Butter a 23cm/9in springform cake tin and line the base with baking parchment. Place 200g/7oz of the hazelnuts in a food processor and blend them until they are fairly finely ground. If you blend the nuts to the consistency of fine breadcrumbs, they should work a treat, but leave a few coarser pieces to add texture. Set the remaining 50g/2oz hazelnuts aside.Put the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set it above a pan of gently simmering water. Stir occasionally and as soon as nearly all the chocolate has melted, remove the bowl from the pan and continue to let the chocolate melt in the residual heat. Stir in the ground hazelnuts and leave the mixture to cool for 5 minutes.Beat the egg yolks and sugar together with an electric hand-whisk for at least 5 minutes until pale and creamy, then stir into the chocolate mixture until thoroughly combined. Wash and dry the beaters well. In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form – they are ready when you can turn the bowl upside down without the eggs sliding out. Do not over whisk.Working quickly, stir the hazelnut liqueur, amaretto or orange juice, into the chocolate mixture to soften. Add a couple of tablespoonfuls of the whisked egg whites and stir until thoroughly combined, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and bake in the centre of the oven for 35–40 minutes or until the cake is well risen and firm.Remove the cake from the oven and leave it to cool in the tin for 30 minutes.

Do not over-blend or the cake will be tough rather than light. Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared tins and smooth the surface. Bake on the same shelf in the centre of the oven for about 25 minutes, or until well risen and just beginning to shrink back from the sides of the tin. Remove the tins from the oven and leave to cool for 5 minutes before turning out on to a wire rack. Peel off the baking paper and leave to cool completely. To make the candied orange zest, use a vegetable peeler to peel long, wide strips off the half orange, avoiding the white pith. Cut the zest into long thin matchsticks and place in a small saucepan with the sugar and 50ml/2fl oz water. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the zest is softened and the sugar syrup is well reduced and lightly coating the zest. Line a small tray or plate with baking paper and use a fork to lift the orange zest from the syrup and drop onto the paper, keeping the strands separated. Leave to set for at least 1 hour before using to top the cake.To make the chocolate icing, gently heat the cream in a medium non-stick saucepan until hot but not quite simmering, stirring occasionally, then pour over the chocolate pieces. Stir once and leave to stand for 5 minutes. Stir the melted chocolate into the cream just enough to combine – don’t over-stir or the mixture could become oily. Leave to cool for 5 minutes.Place one of the sponges on a wire rack over a large plate or tray (to catch any excess icing so it can be reused). Spread a quarter of the chocolate icing thickly over the surface and top with the second sponge. Mix a tablespoon of the milk with another quarter of the chocolate icing (about 135g/5oz) in a small bowl until smooth. Using a palette knife, spread the whole cake thinly with the thinned chocolate icing, filling in the areas where the two cakes meet. Place in the fridge for about 40 minutes to set. (This layer will help the rest of the icing cover the cake more smoothly and doesn’t need to be perfectly neat.)Once the first layer of icing has set, stir the remaining 2 tbsp milk into the remaining chocolate icing, until smooth and shiny. Spread the icing all over the top of the cake and down the sides as smoothly as possible using a palette knife. Leave for 2–3 hours to set and then carefully transfer to a cake stand or plate and top with the candied orange zest. (You can also leave it to cool a little and then create a swirly rather than a smooth topping on the cake.) Preheat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5.

Chocolate and stout cake recipe Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease a 20cm/8in cake tin with butter.For the cake, bring a little water to the boil in a pan. Reduce the heat until the water is simmering, then suspend a heatproof bowl over the water, making sure that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.Add the stout and dark chocolate pieces to the heatproof bowl and heat gently until melted. Once melted, remove the bowl from the heat and set aside to cool. In a separate bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light, fluffy and well combined, using either a food processor or electric whisk. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Pour in the cooled chocolate-and-stout mixture and beat until well combined. Fold in the flour. Spoon the cake mixture into the prepared tin and bake in the middle of the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and set aside to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then remove from the tin and set aside to cool completely on a wire rack.Meanwhile, for the icing, repeat the process of bringing a little water to the boil in a pan. Reduce the heat until the water is simmering, then suspend a heatproof bowl over the water, making sure that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.Add the chocolate, butter and stout to the bowl, stirring until just melted. Remove the bowl from the heat and set the mixture aside to cool slightly. When the melted chocolate mixture has cooled, transfer it to a food processor, add the icing sugar and pulse until smooth and well combined.

Roast calculator Click on the image below to load the calculator. Whether you’re planning chicken, beef, pork or lamb for your Sunday roast, find out the ideal meat cooking times and temperatures with our easy-to-use calculator. No maths required! Simply select your meat and cut from the menu and type in the weight in kg (if it's a bird tell us the stuffed weight). If you're cooking beef or lamb, tell us if you want it well done, medium or rare. Then click "calculate" to find out the browning and cooking times and temperatures and the resting time. Tap "checking for doneness" to find out what the internal temperature of the meat should be when it's ready. Defrosting Defrost your meat in the fridge or in a cool room below 10–15C rather than at room temperature, so that the outside remains cold. It is particularly important to ensure that poultry is fully defrosted before cooking. Defrost turkey in a cool room for 3–4 hours per kilogram or in a fridge at 4C for 10–12 hours per kilogram. Resting meat Once your meat is cooked, rest it in a warm place covered with tented foil for the time specified in the calculator. During this time it will become more juicy and easier to carve. Never skip the resting time, as it really does improve the texture of the meat. It also gives you time to do the roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings in a hotter oven.

Roast chicken with tomatoey bulgur wheat recipe Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Place the chicken in a flameproof casserole dish and sprinkle with the oregano, cinnamon and paprika. Season generously with salt and pepper and drizzle with the olive oil. Rub all the flavours into the chicken, then set aside.Put the tomatoes into a blender. Add the garlic, tomato purée and 250ml/9fl oz of the chicken stock. Blend until smooth and then pour around the chicken, spooning a little over the top. Scatter over the sun-dried tomatoes.Place the casserole on the hob and bring everything to the boil. Transfer to the oven and roast for 1 hour.Meanwhile, to make the dilly leeks, trim and slice the leeks – I slice the white part into 1cm/½in rings and the green part thinner. Give them a good wash in a colander to get rid of any dirt. Place a large saucepan or flameproof casserole dish over a medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Add the washed leeks and sauté for about 10 minutes, until they start to soften.Add the tomato purée, stir, then pour in the white wine and bring to the boil. Reduce by half, then add the peas and 200ml/7fl oz water. Bring everything back to the boil, season generously and then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until everything is tender, creamy almost, and the liquid has reduced. Stir the dill through just before serving and squeeze in the lemon juice. Serve hot, cold or at room temperature.When the chicken’s hour is almost up, place the remaining stock in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Take the casserole out of the oven and carefully transfer the chicken to a plate. Stir the bulgur wheat into the casserole with the hot stock, then nestle the chicken back in the casserole. Return to the oven for a further 15 minutes, until the bulgur is cooked, then remove from the oven. Leave the casserole to rest for 10 minutes then carve the bird, spooning out the bulgur and serving with the dilly leeks, a sprinkle of parsley and a generous dollop of Greek-style yoghurt, if you like. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Place the chicken in a flameproof casserole dish and sprinkle with the oregano, cinnamon and paprika. Season generously with salt and pepper and drizzle with the olive oil. Rub all the flavours into the chicken, then set aside. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.

Roast chicken stuffed with tomato rice recipe To make the stuffed roast chicken, before you begin, soak the rice in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes, and remove the chicken from the refrigerator to allow it to come to room temperature.Heat a casserole dish (Dutch oven) or saucepan over a medium heat. Once hot, add the butter and olive oil. Stir in the onion, season generously with salt and pepper and sweat for around 10 minutes.Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 3–4 minutes more then add the sun-dried tomato paste, chipotle and allspice. Stir in the tomatoes, then drain the rice and add that too. Stir for a few minutes to coat the rice, then pour in the stock or water. Simmer for 15 minutes, then turn off the heat. By this time, the tomatoes will have started to break down and will be smelling fragrant and delicious, but the rice will not yet be cooked; it will finish cooking in the oven.To make the chipotle butter, use a pestle and mortar or small blender to make a paste with the garlic, allspice, salt and herbs. Work in the chipotle and butter.To cook the stuffed roast chicken, preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.Put the chicken in a roasting tray and loosen the skin around the breasts and thighs. Push two-thirds of the chipotle butter under the skin, smearing the rest all over the outside of the chicken. Now stuff the chicken with the red rice, scooping what doesn't fit inside the roasting tray under the chicken. Pour in the wine, then roast for 45–50 minutes until the chicken is golden and the juices run clear when the thighs are pierced with a skewer. As a rule, allow 15 minutes per 500g/1lb 2oz of bird, plus 15 minutes. I cut between the chicken thighs and body after 35 minutes, to allow the insides of the thighs to cook without overcooking the breasts.Meanwhile, to make the salad dressing, heat a small frying pan over a high heat and pour in 1 teaspoon of the oil. Add the lime halves, cut side down, and fry for a few minutes until nicely blackened. Squeeze the lime juice into a bowl with the mustard, vinegar and honey and season generously with salt and pepper. Whisk to emulsify the ingredients and then add the remaining oil. Taste and adjust the seasoning; the salad will dilute the strength of the dressing, so do not be afraid to season well. Stir the shallots into the dressing, then set aside.To make the butterhead salad, wash the lettuce leaves, spin dry and arrange in a salad bowl, in its original shape, as if it were still held together. Finely chop the herbs and scatter over the lettuce and top with the avocado and chiltatis, seeds or almonds. Pour over the salad dressing and serve at once with the carved chicken alongside.

'Nduja stuffed chicken with romesco sauce recipe To make the 'nduja paste, put the rapeseed oil in a pan and fry the 'nduja over a medium-high heat until caramelised. Reduce the heat and add the shallot, garlic and tomato purée and cook until the vegetables are softened.

The one-tray Christmas dinner recipe To make the stuffing, heat 30g/1oz duck fat in a large frying pan and fry the shallot over a medium–low heat for about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and fry for 1 minute. Add the cashews and chorizo and fry for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the pears and sage and fry for 2 minutes. Finally, add the bread cubes and parsley. Mix well and pour in 250ml/9fl oz boiling water. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper, mix and then remove from the heat. Cover and set aside for 20 minutes. Once the stuffing is cold and you can handle it easily, fill the cavity of the chicken with as much of the mixture as possible, pressing it in to condense. Roll the remaining stuffing into 4–6 balls and chill in the fridge. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Place the chicken breast-side up on the largest roasting tray you have and rub the bird all over with 30g/1oz duck fat. Season well with salt and pepper. To make the vegetables, use a sharp knife cut narrow slices into the potatoes, but not all the way down to the base. Make the slices a little narrower than a pound coin and add them to the tray. Place a dollop of the remaining duck fat on each potato and some sea salt. Roast in the oven with the chicken for 15 minutes. Carefully remove the tray from the oven and place the carrots in one section, the parsnips in another and add any fat you may have left over (don’t worry if you’ve used it all up – there will be some in the tray). Put the tray back in the oven for another 15 minutes. Carefully remove the tray again, mix the vegetables in each corner and baste with any fat that has formed in the tray. Finally, add the Brussels sprouts and reserved stuffing balls and scatter over the garlic cloves. Sprinkle with sea salt and return to the oven for another 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4, rotate the tray in the oven so the bird cooks evenly and roast for the last 10 minutes. Check the bird is cooked – the best way is to insert a small knife into the thick part of the breast and the thigh and check the juices run clear with no traces of pink. Turn the oven off, open the door and rest the chicken for 10 minutes before carving. To make the gravy, make a stock by boiling the giblets, neck, wing tips, carrot, onion, celery, thyme, bay leaf, parsley and water in a large saucepan. Bring to the boil, them simmer for 30–40 minutes. Mix the cornflour with 1–2 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Strain the stock and stir in the cornflour mixture to thicken to a gravy.

Budget Christmas dinner recipe Put the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with water and a lid. Place over a high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Preheat the oven to 210C/190C Fan/Gas 6½. Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them stand for 5 minutes, then return to the saucepan and shake vigorously to knock the potatoes about and scuff up the surface – this will make them much crisper when they roast.Add 3 tablespoons of the oil, season well with salt and pepper and toss together. Scatter the potatoes over a large baking tray (or two smaller trays). Place the chicken on another baking tray or in a roasting tin (pick a tray with sides, so the roasting juices don't run off). Snip off any trussing string from the chicken, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the dried herbs, if using. Roast the chicken and potatoes on two shelves in the oven for 20 minutes.Put the bacon rashers on a board and cut lengthways through four of them to make 8 slender rashers. Wrap a piece around each sausage. Make up the stuffing mix using the 175ml just-boiled water then leave to stand for 5 minutes before rolling into 8 small balls.Take the tins out of the oven, place the bacon wrapped sausages around the chicken. Turn the potatoes and add the carrots and stuffing balls to the same tray. Drizzle the carrots with the remaining oil and return both tins to the oven for a further 20 minutes.Take the tins out of the oven, turn the vegetables and stuffing balls. Turn the sausages and return both trays to the oven for a further 20 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the juices run clear when the thickest parts of the breast and thigh are pierced with a skewer or tip of a knife. (If your chicken is larger than the suggested size, it will take longer to cook.) Transfer the chicken to a serving platter or board, cover with foil and a couple of tea towels to keep warm and rest for 10–15 minutes. Transfer the roasted vegetables, stuffing balls and sausages to serving dishes and keep warm. (If you turn off the oven and leave the door slightly ajar, you can keep them warm inside – and you can warm your plates and serving dishes at the same time.)To make the gravy, stir the flour into the fat and cooking juices in the roasting tin used to cook the chicken.

Cauliflower and broccoli cheese recipe An average of 4.4 out of 5 stars from 8 ratings https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/food/ic/food_16x9_1600/recipes/cauliflower_and_broccoli_93405_16x9.jpg This is such a comforting classic – and the combination of cauliflower and broccoli makes sure this dish stands up in its own as a main course and not just as a side. This recipe is part of a Budget vegetarian meal plan for one. In October 2023 this recipe was costed at an average of £2.19 when checking prices at four UK supermarkets. This recipe is designed to be made in conjunction with a low-cost store-cupboard. ½ cauliflower head, smallest tender leaves reserved½ broccoli head10g butter10g plain flour1 tsp Dijon mustard125ml/4fl oz full-fat milk 40g/1½oz cheddar, gratedsalt and ground black pepper ½ cauliflower head, smallest tender leaves reserved ½ broccoli head 10g butter 10g plain flour 1 tsp Dijon mustard 125ml/4fl oz full-fat milk 40g/1½oz cheddar, grated salt and ground black pepper Method Break the cauliflower and broccoli into florets, and slice the stalks. Bring a saucepan of water to the boil, season heavily with salt and boil the vegetables for 2 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.In a small saucepan, melt the butter and then add the plain flour. Stir well to combine and cook for 1 minute until it begins to bubble. Add the mustard, then slowly drizzle in the milk, whisking well between each addition. Boil for 1 minute after all the milk has been added, until the sauce has thickened. It should be just thicker than double cream – if it seems too thick, add 2–3 tablespoons water. Turn off the heat, add 30g/1oz cheese and stir. Season with salt and pepper. Preheat the grill to its highest setting. Transfer the broccoli and cauliflower florets and stalks to a small ovenproof dish. Nestle in the small cauliflower leaves. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and sprinkle over the remaining cheese. Grill for 2 minutes until golden and bubbling. If you don’t have a grill, simply pour the cheese sauce over the vegetables, sprinkle with cheese and enjoy. Break the cauliflower and broccoli into florets, and slice the stalks.

Recipe tips If this is the first dish with cauliflower you are making in the vegetarian meal plan, it’s best to halve the cauliflower now and remove all the leaves. Reserve the tender ones for this recipe, and keep the green outer leaves in the fridge for the Pasta e ceci recipe. The rest of the cauliflower and broccoli will be used in other recipes in the meal plan.

You can use any cheese you like for this recipe, odds and ends from the fridge are fine. This recipe is part of a budget meal plan for two. In March 2023, this recipe was costed at an average of £2.50 when checking prices at five UK supermarkets. It is designed to be made in conjunction with a low-cost store-cupboard. ½ medium cauliflower (around 400g/14oz)½ head broccoli (around 175g/6oz)30g/1oz butter30g plain flour400ml/14fl oz milk50g/1¾oz mature cheddar, finely gratedsalt and ground black pepper2 slices bread, and butter, to serve (optional) ½ medium cauliflower (around 400g/14oz) ½ head broccoli (around 175g/6oz) 30g/1oz butter 30g plain flour 400ml/14fl oz milk 50g/1¾oz mature cheddar, finely grated salt and ground black pepper 2 slices bread, and butter, to serve (optional) Method Fill a large saucepan with water a third of the way, cover with a lid and bring to the boil over a high heat. Using a small knife, cut the cauliflower into florets, halving or quartering any large ones. You’ll need them all to be roughly the same size. Do the same with the broccoli. You can even thinly slice the stems if you like – handy if your vegetables are a little smaller than recommended and great for avoiding waste.Add the cauliflower and broccoli, and sliced stems if using, to the water and return to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered with a lid, for about 4 minutes, or until the florets are tender when tested with the tip knife.Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium pan over a low heat and stir in the flour. Cook the flour and butter together for a few seconds, stirring, then gradually add the milk, just a little at a time, stirring all the time until it is all used. (Adding the milk slowly will help ensure your sauce is smooth and lump free.) Increase the heat and simmer gently for 1 minute, stirring constantly.Add roughly half the grated cheese to the sauce and cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the cheese melts. Add a splash more milk if the sauce thickens too much. Season with salt and pepper to taste.Drain the vegetables in a colander or large sieve then tip into a shallow ovenproof dish. Pour the sauce over. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and place under a hot grill for 2–3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Don’t worry if you don’t have a grill, serve as soon as you’ve sprinkled with the cheese. Serve with freshly buttered bread if you like.

Serve with freshly buttered bread if you like. Recipe tips If you have a whisk you can whisk the sauce ingredients all at once over a medium heat for 3–4 minutes, or until smooth and thick. Use a silicone whisk if you have a non-stick pan. You can use any cheese you like for this recipe, odds and ends from the fridge are fine. Mature cheeses will give a stronger flavour. If you have cream leftover from the creamy mushroom recipe when following the Budget meal plan for two, you can stir it into the sauce to make it extra rich. If you don’t have a large enough pan to cook the vegetables together, cook in two smaller pans or in batches instead. As a vegetable accompaniment to a main meal, the recipe will serve 3–4 portions.

Serve with freshly buttered bread if you like. Recipe tips If you have a whisk you can whisk the sauce ingredients all at once over a medium heat for 3–4 minutes, or until smooth and thick. Use a silicone whisk if you have a non-stick pan. You can use any cheese you like for this recipe, odds and ends from the fridge are fine. Mature cheeses will give a stronger flavour. If you have cream leftover from the creamy mushroom recipe when following the Budget meal plan for two, you can stir it into the sauce to make it extra rich. If you don’t have a large enough pan to cook the vegetables together, cook in two smaller pans or in batches instead. As a vegetable accompaniment to a main meal, the recipe will serve 3–4 portions." }, "content_info": { "domain": "Food & Cooking", "subdomain": "Recipes" } }

Sprinkle with salt and pour over the oil, using your hands to rub so everything is well coated. Roast for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and just starting to colour at the edges. Set aside to cool.To make béchamel, warm the milk in a small saucepan but do not allow to boil.In another saucepan, melt the butter over a low heat and add the flour. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon for a couple of minutes to cook the flour, until it smells like biscuits. Remove both pans from the heat and slowly pour the milk into the butter mixture a little at a time, stirring well between each addition. Place the sauce back on the heat, season with salt and add the nutmeg and keep stirring until the sauce is as dense as thick cream. Bring a shallow saucepan of water to the boil and add three lasagne sheets at a time. Boil rapidly for 1 minute or as per packet instructions. Quickly lift the pasta onto clean tea towels to dry.

Add a layer of pasta, spread a thin coating of béchamel on the pasta, sprinkle with a fifth of the roast vegetables, a fifth of the Parmesan, a fifth of the mozzarella and a grind of black pepper. Repeat this process four more times, leaving yourself with just enough béchamel and Parmesan for the final layer.Cover with cling film and leave to chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours if possible. Remove the lasagne from the fridge about an hour before you want to serve it to help bring it back to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Bake for about 20 minutes or until a light golden crust forms on top. If you like a very golden crust, put it under a hot grill for about 1 minute.

Each serving provides 575 kcal, 31.7g protein, 54.9g carbohydrate (of which 16.6g sugars), 22.6g fat (of which 11.4g saturates), 12.3g fibre and 0.65g salt. 1 tbsp olive oil 1 large celery stick, finely chopped1 large carrot, peeled and finely chopped1 onion, finely chopped2 large garlic cloves, crushed 1 tbsp dried mixed herbs 1 large courgette, grated 1 pepper, roughly chopped2 tbsp tomato purée 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (optional) 400g tin green lentils 400g tin chopped tomatoes1 tsp honey (optional)sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 tbsp olive oil 1 large celery stick, finely chopped 1 large carrot, peeled and finely chopped 1 onion, finely chopped 2 large garlic cloves, crushed 1 tbsp dried mixed herbs 1 large courgette, grated 1 pepper, roughly chopped 2 tbsp tomato purée 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (optional) 400g tin green lentils 400g tin chopped tomatoes 1 tsp honey (optional) sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 400g/14oz spinach 420g/15oz ricotta 3 tbsp milk of your choice 1 tsp garlic granules 1 tsp onion granules 200g/7oz wholemeal lasagne sheets 50g/1¾oz Parmesan (or vegetarian hard cheese), finely grated 400g/14oz spinach 420g/15oz ricotta 3 tbsp milk of your choice 1 tsp garlic granules 1 tsp onion granules 200g/7oz wholemeal lasagne sheets 50g/1¾oz Parmesan (or vegetarian hard cheese), finely grated fresh basil leaves green salad fresh basil leaves green salad Method First, make the lentil ragu. Heat the oil in a deep ovenproof pan over a medium heat. Add the celery, carrot, onion, garlic and dried herbs to the pan and fry for 5–6 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the courgette followed by the pepper and tomato purée and cook for 3 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar, if using, followed by the lentils. Pour in the chopped tomatoes and a tin of water, then bring to the boil. Turn the heat down and simmer gently for 5–8 minutes (if the tomatoes are a little sharp, add the honey to sweeten). Season with salt and pepper. Preheat the oven 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Place the spinach in a microwavable bowl and loosely cover.

Spicy mushroom lasagne recipe Preheat the oven to 240C/220C Fan/Gas 9. Put the chestnut and oyster mushrooms into a food processor in three or four batches and pulse each batch until finely chopped (or finely chop everything by hand). Toss the chopped mushrooms in a large bowl with 3 tablespoons of oil and 1 teaspoon of salt. Line a 40x35cm/16x14in baking tray with baking paper and spread out the mushroom mixture on the tray. Bake for 30 minutes near the top of the oven, stirring three times during cooking, until the mushrooms are golden brown. They will have reduced in volume significantly. Set aside. Meanwhile, combine the dried mushrooms, chillies and stock in a large bowl and set aside to soak for 30 minutes. Strain the liquid into another bowl, squeezing as much liquid from the mushrooms as possible to get about 340ml/11fl oz. If you have any less, top up with water. Very roughly chop the rehydrated mushrooms (you want some chunks) and finely chop the chillies. Set the stock and mushroom mixture aside separately.Put the onion, garlic and carrot in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped (or finely chop everything by hand). Heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a large casserole over a medium–high heat. Once hot, add the onion mixture and fry for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden. Pulse the tomatoes in the food processor until finely chopped (or finely chop by hand), then add to the pan along with the tomato purée, 1½ teaspoons of salt and 1¾ teaspoons of black pepper. Cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the rehydrated mushrooms and chillies and the roasted mushrooms and cook for 9 minutes, resisting the urge to stir: you want the mushrooms to be slightly crisp and browned on the bottom. Stir in the reserved stock and 800ml/1½ pint of water and, once simmering, reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until you get the consistency of a ragù. Stir in 100ml/3½fl oz of the cream and simmer for another 2 minutes, then remove from the heat.Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Combine both cheeses and both herbs in a small bowl. To assemble the lasagne, spread one-fifth of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a round 28cm/11in baking dish (or a 30x20cm/12x8in rectangular dish). Top with one-fifth of the cheese mixture, followed by a layer of lasagne sheets, broken to fit where necessary. Repeat these layers three more times in that order, and finish with a final layer of sauce and cheese. You will have five layers of sauce and cheese and four layers of pasta.Drizzle over 1 tablespoon of cream and 1 tablespoon of oil, then cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil, increase the temperature to 240C/220C Fan/Gas 9 and bake for another 12 minutes, turning the dish round halfway. Turn the oven to the grill setting and grill for a final 2 minutes, until the edges are brown and crisp. Set aside to cool for 5 or so minutes, then drizzle over the remaining tablespoon of cream and oil. Sprinkle over the remaining parsley, finish with a good grind of pepper and serve.

Just before serving, garnish with the fresh basil, if using. Recipe tips Do not be tempted to remove the lid during the cooking as this will allow heat to escape and increase cooking time. Swapping the layers of sauce around so the meat sauce is uppermost (rather than the usual white sauce) means you get a golden top which is hard to achieve in a slow cooker. If you prefer you can assemble the lasagne in the traditional way and use a chef's blow torch to brown the top after cooking. If you have time, it helps the lasagne to firm up and keep its shape if you can let it sit for a while before removing it from the slow cooker dish (or make it a day ahead and chill in the fridge overnight). Don't worry if you can't – it's delicious either way.
