Cheesy Pancake Stacks With Eggs & Bacon

This American-style stack of small but fluffy pancakes makes a deliciously indulgent breakfast or a tasty brunch dish. Serves 4.

Cauliflower Tacos

Joyfully ‘hands-on’ and properly satisfying, this is great lunch or light supper, and can be tweaked to suit individual preferences; to make it vegan, omit the cheese (or use a vegan cheese) and use sugar instead of the honey in the pickle. Serves 2.

Caribbean-Style Chicken Kebabs Recipe

These coconut-marinated kebabs are a tasty, colourful way to add a little interest to your barbecue! They’re easy to put together and won’t take long to cook – just be sure to start preparing well in advance, so the marinade has time to work its magic. Serves 4.

Caprese Salad Recipe

This classic Italian salad combines simple ingredients to stunning effect - cool, creamy Mozzarella cheese is balanced by tangy fresh tomatoes and the Mediterranean warmth of Basil. Serves 4.

Caper-Dressed Sole with Potato Salad

This quick and simple recipe makes the most of delicately-flavoured Lemon Sole or Dover Sole, both unfairly underrated flat fish. You can make the salad well in advance if you like, though it is lovely when the potatoes are still a little warm – and fresh salad leaves are a must. Serves 2.

Butternut & Chestnut Bake Recipe

Squash, chestnuts and juicy mushrooms make this delicious bake a seasonal treat. A vegan recipe (which also happens to be gluten free), it’s a great meat-free option for festive celebrations and family get-togethers. Enjoy with roast potatoes and all your favourite veg. Serves 4.

Brussels Sprouts with Toasted Nuts Recipe

Butterflied Garlic Tiger Prawns

Once you get the hang of butterflying the prawns, this is a pretty straightforward recipe that tastes even better than it looks. You can prepare the prawns ahead, if you like; when you have spread them with the garlic butter, just cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to put them in the oven. Serves 4 as a starter.

Butter Bean Dip Recipe

Blitz up this butter bean dip in minutes and serve it with crunchy raw veg, toasted pitta strips or plain crisps. Serves 8 as part of a spread.

Brown Butter Halibut with Caper Crumbs

A special dish for a special occasion. We like to serve this simply with some just-wilted greens or steamed broccoli. Serves 2.

Boxing Day Bubble And Squeak

This is a great way to use up leftover turkey, roast potatoes and cooked sprouts or cabbage - it’s also quick and simple, because you deserve a well-earned break after cooking Christmas dinner! Serves 4.

Blueberry Maple Pancakes

Turn your pancakes into a proper pudding, served with a beautifully fruity sauce, rich cream and a scattering of roasted almonds. Serves 2.

Blueberry and Banana Smoothie

This made-in-moments smoothie is an appealing choice when you need a quick pick-me-up. The yoghurt can be substituted for soya, oat or almond milk if preferred, or omitted altogether. Serves 2.

Bite Sized Pissaladières

Based on a classic recipe from the south of France, these pissaladières may be small but they pack plenty of flavour, thanks to their delicious anchovy, olive and slow-cooked onion topping. To save time, the onions can be cooked up to three days ahead and stored in the fridge until needed. Makes 24.

Bini Ludlow's Spiced King Prawns Recipe

This spiced king prawn recipe from Bini Ludlow is best eaten with freshly made chapattis and plain basmati rice. It also tastes lovely with plain natural yogurt and a simple side salad. Serves 3-4

Bellini Cocktail Recipe

Over 80 years old and still going strong, this simple, summery cocktail is a breeze to make (and it’s a great way to make the most of any over-ripe peaches, too). Serves 2.

Beetroot Soup Recipe

Inspired by Russian Borscht, this easy soup is a delicious showcase for the sweet, earthy taste and vibrant colour of fresh beetroot. Serves 6.

Beetroot, Rocket and Feta Salad

This hearty salad teams earthy roast beetroot and potatoes with sharp rocket leaves, fresh mint and a honey dressing. You can vary it by swapping different cheeses, herbs or nuts to your taste – don’t forget to serve with some fresh bread for mopping up the juices! Serves 4

Bees & Seas Non-Alcoholic Cocktail

Sticking to Dry January this year? Reward yourself with this tasty mocktail made from local goodies, including apple juice from Four Elms Orchard, Greendale honey and Sea Arch non-alcoholic spirit.

Beef Sirloin with Sun-Dried Tomato Stuffing

Stuffing is not just for Turkeys! In this recipe, lean, tender Beef Sirloin is stuffed with a mixture of sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts – packed with flavour, it’s perfect for a special celebratory dinner. Serves 6-8.

Beef, Red Wine & Mushroom Vol-Au-Vents

These deliciously savoury vol-au-vents are best served hot, so it’s a good idea to bake the cases when the filling is almost ready. Makes 18.

Sparkling Apple Gin Cocktail

Perfect for Summer, the team at Wicked Wolf Gin have shared their Sparkling Apple Gin recipe for us to enjoy. Bottom's up!

Smoked Salmon on Rye

Delicious smoked salmon is a perennial finger-food favourite; here, we’ve paired it with rich, dark rye bread and a fresh cream cheese and chive topping.

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.

Sidbury Mill ‘Cheats’ Sourdough Bread

Making sourdough bread is well worth the effort but is quite a labour of love! If you want to go down the most authentic route then check out specialist recipes and techniques that are widely available. This recipe is much less time consuming and gives a really nice sourdough style loaf, that looks the part and tastes great. A bread machine will again make the process simpler but you will cook it in the oven rather than the bread machine. You will need a sourdough starter. Maybe you have a friend who can give you some of theirs or you can buy them on-line (Freshly Fermented’s Alaskan Sourdough starter is recommended for this wholemeal recipe, but others should work fine too). Makes 1 medium size loaf in either a tin (the easier option) or shaped with a sourdough basket/banneton for the classic sourdough look.

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.

Runner Bean Chutney Recipe

If your garden or allotment groans with a glut of runner beans this summer (lucky you!), use some of them to make this delicious, slightly spicy chutney. It’s great served with cheeses and cold meats, and also goes rather well with curries. For best results (and if you can wait that long), leave the chutney to rest for about eight weeks. Recipe makes approximately 2kg of chutney.

Roast Vegetables with Feta Cheese

More of a suggestion than a recipe, this can be adapted to suit whatever vegetables happen to be in your fridge

Red Pepper & Walnut Dip Recipe

Inspired by Muhammara, a traditional Syrian recipe, this smoky dip is vibrantly coloured and tastes amazing. And in case you need an excuse to try it, it’s pretty good for you, too! Serves 8 as part of a spread.

Poppadom Crab

Perfect little mouthfuls of spice and crunch, these tasty crab bites are quick to put together (especially as you can make the crab mixture up to three hours in advance and keep it in the fridge) – but don’t assemble them until you’re ready to serve, or the poppadoms will become soggy.

Pork Belly Bites

Perhaps overlooked in favour of more glamorous cuts of meat, pork belly is actually great value for money, not to mention succulent, delicious and versatile! Here, we’ve used our own Belly Pork Slices for tasty little ‘bites’ that are just right for finger-food, canapes or party nibbles.

Red Lentil and Bacon Soup

This tasty soup is full of protein and takes less than half an hour to make.

Pea, Almond & Parmesan Dip Recipe

A tasty, fresh pea-based variation on hummus, this vibrant green dip is full of protein. Once you have toasted the almonds it comes together pretty quickly, making it ideal for a healthy snack (serve with raw veg and pitta strips for dipping) or a super-summery sandwich filling.

Whole Salt-Baked Salmon Recipe

Serve up incredibly moist, flavoursome (but not salty!) salmon with this surprisingly straightforward show-stopper of a recipe. When you buy your fish, ask our fishmongers to clean and gut it for you and remove the head, but leave the scales on – otherwise the salt will penetrate into the fish.

Sweet Potato & Avocado Bites

Lightly spiced and topped with creamy avocado, these vegan nibbles are a great meat-free choice. Serves 10 as part of a buffet-style spread.

Super Sausage Salad Recipe

Satisfy even the most ferocious of appetites with this hearty salad – as well as chunky slices of cooked sausage, it’s made with butter beans and plenty of fibre-packed veg for a healthy, tasty and filling meal. Serves 4.

Sweet Chilli Prawn & Mango Bites

These neat little bites are deliciously more-ish and relatively quick to make. To get ahead, toss the prepared mango in lime juice and cook the prawns a few hours before you plan to serve them, then refrigerate them in separate dishes and assemble when required.
