Ragù alla Ferrarese is rich and indulgent and yet deceptively simple to make. Perfect with tagliatelle or at Christmastime with some fresh cappellacci.

This side dish of rice with creamed coconut, chicken stock and garam masala has a rich creaminess I find super addictive. Great with leftover curry and pakora.

This addictive bean and smoked pork soup is the perfect antidote to winter nights. It's by far my favourite thing to do with black-eyed beans.

You can whip up this carrot and sweet potato soup in less than an hour. It's delicious, fresh-tasting and a perfect low-stress addition to soup season.

This quick and easy chickpea curry is delicious and deceptively filling. It can be vegan or vegetarian, making it versatile and allergy-friendly.

I made this cheap and easy quorn chilli many times as a student and still whip it up today when I want something hearty yet light.

Roasted broccoli and indian spices are a match made in heaven. Seasoned with garam masala, garlic and ginger, these vegi morsels are perfect with raita.

I don't see nearly enough recipes for chicken curry with onion seeds. I have a real fondness for them and for smoked paprika, making this curry another indulgent combo of my favourite things.

This quick and simple smoked pancetta and basil pasta sauce packs a bunch of flavour with minimal prep and only three steps!
