Red Cabbage Recipe

Softly spiced with fragrant nutmeg and cinnamon, this delicious side dish is perfect served alongside roasts or cold meats. Handily, it can be prepared in advance and reheated; the cooked cabbage can also be frozen until needed. Serves 8 as a side dish.

Shin of Beef in a Rich Mushroom Stew Recipe

Shin of beef is simmered until meltingly tender in this rich, savoury stew. Served with creamy mashed potatoes, this is a hearty, warming meal that’s perfect for chilly evenings. Serves 6.

Pork & Lemon Casserole

Made with fresh lemon zest and simmered ‘low and slow’, this simple but delicious recipe produces a mouth-wateringly tender finished dish. Serves 4.

Toad in the Hole Recipe

We’re not sure how Toad in the Hole came by its unusual name, but whatever its origins, this satisfying dish is a true comfort-food favourite. In this recipe, we’ve used our hand-made Pork & Apple Sausages and a quick red onion gravy to serve on the side – just add your favourite greens. Serves 4.

Moroccan-Style Stew

This fragrant, subtly-spiced stew will make a hearty meal out of left-over roast lamb. Despite the fairly long list of ingredients, it’s a simple, flexible recipe - you can change it to include your favourite pulses and vegetables, and swap the cayenne pepper for a chopped fresh chilli if you prefer a little extra heat! Serves 2-4.

Scrumpy Lamb Stew Recipe

This hearty stew will keep out the cold, with a warming kick from our Proper Scrumpy Cider! We like it served with steamed greens and a big pile of fluffy mash, plus a dollop of our Easy Apple Sauce. Serves 4-6.

Crab Thermidor Recipe

If you’re a fan of our Lobster Thermidor, why not try this delicious crab-centric version? Rich, creamy and packed with flavour, it’s delicious served with fresh bread for mopping up every last bit! Serves 4 as a starter.

Cauliflower Steaks with Caper Butter Recipe

Cauliflower is quartered into chunky steaks, then oven-roast before being topped with caper butter, crunchy herbed breadcrumbs and slivered almonds. Serve with cooked grains and a dollop of your favourite hummus for a main meal. Serves 2

Cauliflower Soup with Crispy Sage Leaves

Creamy and savoury, this winter wonder of a soup is topped with sage-infused brown butter and crispy fried sage leaves. Serves 4.

Cauliflower Rice

Another recipe where cauliflower gets to prove just how versatile, easy to cook with and downright delicious it can be! This tasty ‘rice’ is great served alongside favourite curries, or enjoyed as it is with warm chapatis or pitta bread and a dollop of thick yoghurt alongside. Serves 2 as a main dish, 4 as a side.

Cauliflower Cheese with Hawkridge Cheddar

This classic, comforting dish works beautifully as a vegetarian main course or a side dish to accompany roast meat. Made with mature cheddar from the Hawkridge dairy in nearby Crediton, the rich white sauce envelops the cauliflower in creamy, deeply savoury flavour – it’s the perfect antidote to chilly evenings! Serves 4.

Buttery Swede and Carrot Mash

Hearty and bright, this delicious mash looks beautiful alongside any Sunday roast – it’s great for soaking up gravy, too! Serves 4 as a side dish.

Beef Ragu Recipe

Based on a traditional Italian recipe, this pasta sauce uses hearty minced beef to make a rich, tasty and sustaining meal. Serve it with the cooked pasta of your choice – shells, spaghetti and linguine will all work well. Serves 4.

West Country Apple Cake Recipe

Various time-honoured versions of this recipe can be found all over the UK, with Dorset, Devon and Somerset all having a particularly strong tradition of apple cakes. For the sake of diplomacy we’re calling ours ‘West Country Apple Cake’, though - dare we suggest- we think it’s best served with a good dollop of proper Devon clotted cream! Makes one 20cm cake.

Sweet Potato and Sourdough Stuffing

Perfectly suited (but by no means limited to) vegetarian guests, this flavour-packed stuffing is even better with veggie gravy served alongside. Serves 6-8 as part of a main course.

Warming Braised Venison

Rich, warming and delicious, this generously-sized dish is great for entertaining.

Baked Potato with Bacon & Beans

This smoky, tasty topping is loved by cowboys everywhere (probably). If you prefer less heat, just leave out the chilli flakes. Serves 4.

Spiced Rum Cake With Rum Caramel Sauce

Pure indulgence, this rich cake is fragrant with spices and rum, and comes with a delicious boozy caramel sauce to serve alongside – it makes the perfect end to a summer evening meal, especially as you can take it to another level by grilling slices of it on the BBQ, then serving with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream (if you plan to do this, make the cake the day before, as it will hold together a lot better on the grill). Serves about 10.

White Fish (Hake) Curry Recipe

Sometimes nothing beats a good curry – and when you can make your own, why bother with takeaway? You can use any of our lovely locally-caught white fish in this recipe. Serves 4.

Curry-Spiced Fish Pie Recipe

Richly spiced mash, Greendale Fish Pie Mix and authentic curry flavours combine to create a fabulous ‘Frankenstein’ of a dish – it sounds wrong, but try it and you’ll see why we like it so much! Serves 4.

Cider & Bay Braised Cabbage

Not a fan of Red Cabbage? This easy side dish makes the most of gorgeous green Savoy – flavoured with bay leaves and braised in Devon cider with plenty of butter, we think it’s just as Christmassy as its showier cousin. Serves 4-6 as a side.

Hasselback Potatoes

This Scandinavian twist on the roast potato looks impressive, but is actually very easy to do. Serves 4 as a side dish.

Sausage Roll Garland Recipe

This festive take on the ever-popular sausage roll is designed for ‘tearing and sharing’, making it perfect for parties or buffets. You can make the recipe a few hours ahead if wished; follow the recipe up to the point where the Garland needs to go into the oven, then cover it and refrigerate until you’re ready to cook. Serves approximately 10 (as part of a selection of dishes).

Rosemary & Polenta Roasties

We’ll never tire of roast potatoes (or of finding new ways to enjoy them!). This recipe uses polenta for extra crunch and rosemary for flavour – though you can use any woody herbs you like, including thyme or sage. Serves 4 as a side dish.

Roast Root Veg with Honey & Garlic

This great-tasting side dish is pretty flexible and can be tweaked according to the veg you have available – we’ve used parsnips and carrots here, but you could also use sweet potatoes, beetroots or even slices of butternut squash (cooking times may vary slightly). Serves 4 as a side dish.

Rarebit Baked Potato Recipe

This Welsh-Rarebit inspired topping will make a rich, savoury meal out of your baked potatoes. If you are making them for vegetarians, check your cheddar cheese and Worcestershire sauce are vegetarian-friendly. Serves 4.

Rack of Lamb Rosemary, Dijon Mustard

Rack of Lamb always makes a great centrepiece – this recipe uses simple ingredients that really let complement the rich flavour of the meat. Serves 4.

Puy Lentils with Sausages & Streaky Bacon

Variations on this simple, rustic dish appear all over Europe (and as far afield as Argentina). As well as making a welcome and delicious change from sausages and mash, it has the added bonus of being a one-pot recipe, meaning much less washing up after dinner!

Purple Sprouting Broccoli & Spring Greens Gratin

Full of fabulous greens, this hearty recipe will leave even the most veg-averse feeling satisfied, thanks to its rich, creamy sauce and golden double-cheese topping. Serves 4.

Whole Roast Cauliflower Recipe

Put veg centre-stage with this impressive looking (but very easy) vegetarian recipe. The cauliflower is briefly pre-cooked before it goes into the hot oven, so it soaks up loads of garlicky, buttery flavour as it roasts. The topping is quick and easy to make, so this is a relatively stress-free meal – you can roast some parboiled potatoes or parsnips alongside the cauliflower to accompany it, or steam carrots, peas or beans on the hob during the last few minutes of its cooking time. Serves 4.

Vegetable Stew Recipe

This versatile stew can be adapted to use whatever veg you have to hand. Packed full of vibrant veg, with beans for extra fibre and protein, it’s filling, tasty and a doddle to make – just be sure to cut the vegetables into similarly-sized pieces, so that their cooking times don’t vary too much. This recipe will serve 4, with leftovers that can be frozen for an easy meal another day.
