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.

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.

Spicy Pan-Fried Spring Greens

A vibrant showcase for new-season spring greens, this lightly-spiced side dish is healthy, made in moments and (best of all) completely delicious. Serves 4 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.

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.

Roasted Peppers

Ready-made jars of roasted red peppers are a quick-cooking ingredient when time is tight, but it really doesn’t take long to make your own (it’s also a lot easier on your wallet). Any unused oil-dressed peppers can be placed in a bowl, covered with clingfilm and kept in the fridge for up to a week.

Quick Pickled Red Cabbage

With a tangy flavour that’s perfect with cold meats and cheeses, this quick pickle is easy to make. Feel free to experiment with the spices – Juniper Berries could be used instead of the allspice, or cumin or fennel seeds substituted for the caraway. The pickled cabbage can be served straight away, or kept in the fridge for up to one week. Makes about 10 servings.

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.

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.

Super Slaw with Spicy Dressing Recipe

This light and delicious slaw makes a pleasant change from the standard mayonnaise-laden recipe – we like to serve it alongside our Chinese-Style Pork Ribs. If you have a grating attachment for your food processor, it will speed this recipe up considerably. Serves 4 as part of a meal.

Pan-Fried Cabbage with Chilli & Garlic Recipe

The dark-green, knubbly leaves of Savoy Cabbage are rich in vitamins and minerals, and it seems a shame to waste all these goodies by letting them leach out into a pan of boiling water. Other cooking methods will produce tasty results without destroying the health benefits of fresh veg; in this recipe, the cabbage is cooked quickly over a high heat, with a couple of flavourful additions for a fast and simple side-dish. This method will work well with other leafy veg, including shredded kale, spring greens and Brussels sprouts, and it’s also worth experimenting with your own ‘extras’; you could try swapping the tamari sauce for a couple of tinned anchovies, ‘melted’ into the hot oil before the cabbage is added, or sprinkle some toasted hazelnuts or sesame seeds over the cooked cabbage before serving. Serves 4, as a side dish.

Mustard & Honey Parsnip Mash Recipe

Parsnips are a sweet-tasting vegetable, sometimes to the extent of being a little bland. Here, their sweetness is rounded out with a dash of honey and balanced by punchy wholegrain mustard. Serves 4 as a side dish.

Maple Syrup and Mustard Roast Parsnips

This is a super side-dish for roast Turkey or Gammon, its sweetness complementing the meat perfectly. As an extra bonus, the veg can be prepared the night before they’re needed and then popped in the oven when you’re ready. Serves 4 as a side dish.

Horseradish Butter

Our prime, lean beef deserves nothing but the best when it comes to accompaniments! From sauces and butters to glazes and marinades, there’s a world of ideas out there - try our Horseradish Butter, it’s perfect dotted over freshly-carved slices of beef. Be sure to take the butter out of the fridge well before you begin this recipe, so that it has time to come up to room temperature. Makes 6 servings.

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.

Sausage, Cranberry & Pear Stuffing Recipe

Fresh pear, lemon zest and tangy cranberries lift this sausage-meat stuffing out of the ordinary. Serves 6-8 as part of a main course.

Yorkshire Puddings with Hawkridge Cheddar

Representing deliciousness from the two largest counties in the UK, these easy individual Yorkshire puddings will make a super side-dish for your next Sunday roast.

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.

Easy Radish Pickle

Home-pickling doesn’t have to mean hours of laborious chopping and simmering, with the resulting jars jostling for space in the store cupboard; this quick, simple recipe is made in moments from fresh radishes, and is designed to make just enough to serve as part of a summer spread.
