Banana Bread Recipe

Sweet and gently spiced, this delicious banana bread is more than just a great way to use up those overripe bananas lurking at the bottom of the fruit bowl! Serve warm with butter and a handful of your favourite berries for a brilliant breakfast. Makes one 500g loaf.

Garlic Bread and Camembert To Share

This gorgeous combo of garlic bread and oozy, melty camembert cheese was made for sharing with friends and family; just hand round the napkins, abandon all pretence of politeness and get stuck in! If you use a camembert made without animal rennet (see below), this is a vegetarian recipe. Serves 4-6 as a starter.

Hot Cross Loaf Recipe

Made with the same spices and plump fruit as the traditional buns, this hot cross loaf is delicious eaten warm from the oven, or toasted and spread with butter. Makes about 10 servings.

Pesto Peas & Egg on Toast Recipe

Despite sounding like a bit of a faff, this is actually a quick, easy recipe, made with ingredients you’ll probably have to hand in your freezer and store cupboard. It also happens to be delicious!

Roasted Red Pepper & Anchovy Toasts

Go easy on yourself and whip up these easy canapes, made with our ready-marinated anchovies and some jarred red peppers – when the end result is this tasty, who cares if it only takes minutes to make? Serves 4-6 as part of a spread.

Quick & Easy Flatbreads

This recipe is quite flexible – it’ll work just as well with self-raising flour, if that’s what you have, and you can leave out the yoghurt and just use a little extra water, if preferred. You can also cook the flatbreads in a pan or over a BBQ (make sure the charcoal is up to cooking temperature first). Makes four large flatbreads.

Super-Charged Scrambled Eggs

Eggs are the original ‘fast food’, and scrambled eggs can be ready in minutes for a quick and easy breakfast or light lunch. They’re great served piled on toast with ketchup (and maybe a rasher or two of bacon), or sitting atop some smoked salmon on a toasted bagel; this recipe is a little healthier, however, and a lot more interesting. It’s made with vibrant red pepper, tomato and spring onion – if you like heat, you can add a dash of Tabasco or pinch of chilli flakes during cooking. Serves 2.

Pan Bagnat Recipe

Pan Bagnat is an impressive-looking centrepiece for a lazy summer lunch, and makes a great picnic, too; you can slice and re-wrap it before you go, or take a breadboard and knife and slice it when you’re ready. Serves 4-6.

Mixed Tomato Bruschetta

Jewel bright and bursting with sweetness and flavour, we think peak-season tomatoes are best enjoyed simply so they can really shine. Try serving this Italian-style bruschetta as a starter, or as part of a summery spread. Makes about 4 servings.

Lobster Sourdough Salad Recipe

Made with luscious fresh lobster, crisp croutons and a deliciously different dressing, this special salad makes ‘eating your greens’ a little more decadent! Serves 2 as a main course or 4 as a starter.

Hot Cross Bread & Butter Pudding

In the unlikely event that we have any leftover Hot Cross Buns this Easter, we’ll use them to make this lovely version of Bread and Butter Pudding – it’s perfect with a generous sploosh of double cream on the side, or a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream. Serves 4-8, depending on appetite!

Hot-Cross French Toast

We remain sceptical about the concept of ‘leftover’ hot cross buns, but – should you find yourself in this situation – we can’t think of a nicer way to finish them off! Serves 4.

Devon Lobster Rolls Recipe

Something of an institution in New England, the Lobster Roll hasn’t really caught on over here, which is a bit of a puzzle. We think they’re perfect for a summer treat - quick to make, they’re also rather delicious! Recipe will make 6 rolls, serving 6 as a snack or starter, or 2-3 as a main course.

Decorated Focaccia Recipe

Get creative and make your very own edible work of art! The decorating is fun to do with children – you can prep and prove the dough ahead of time, if you like, so all they need to do is add the toppings before a final prove and 20 minutes’ baking time. Makes one large focaccia loaf.

Classic Caesar Salad

There is some dispute as to the origins of this much-loved salad, though it’s generally agreed that it was named after a twentieth-century restaurateur and not a Roman emperor! Recipes vary, but ‘classic’ versions almost always include cooked chicken breast, croutons, anchovies and Parmesan cheese – plus, of course, Caesar Salad’s very own signature dressing. Serves 4.

Sidbury Mill Easy Wholemeal Bread

Sidbury Mill flour has a nice fine texture and plenty of protein so you may be surprised that you can use it on its own and you will get nice open textured and well risen bread. But if you prefer to mix it with some white bread flour, you will get a slightly lighter loaf. If you have a bread machine then the following 100% wholemeal recipe will work well on the wholemeal setting for a large loaf.

Eggy Bread Recipe

Whether you know this brilliant breakfast treat as Eggy Bread, French Toast or any of its other names, there’s no denying it’s a delicious way to use up stale bread. Topping ideas are endless, but maple syrup is lovely, as are berries and yoghurt or a light dusting of cinnamon and icing sugar – why not make several slices so you can try them all!

BBQ Chicken Bruschetta

Make the most of beautiful, British-grown tomatoes with this sunshine-soaked recipe! The chicken can be cooked outside on the barbecue or indoors under the grill, and (always a bonus as far as we’re concerned) the tomato element can be made up to two days in advance and refrigerated until needed. Serves 4.

Basil & Tomato Tear-And-Share Bread

These tasty pinwheel rolls grow together as they bake – serve with soup, and tear off a roll or two at the table. Makes 12 little rolls.

Ultimate Turkey Sandwich Recipe

Not just any old snack, these sandwiches might take a few minutes’ work to put together but they’re definitely worth the (minimal) effort! A sort of super-BLT, with added turkey and avocado, we think this is one of the nicest ways to repurpose the remains of your roast. Makes 2 rounds of sandwiches.
