Beef and chestnut suetcrust pie

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

This is a warming dish for the cold weather months, rich with lean beef, celeriac, chestnuts and shallots. The suetcrust pastry lid is flavoured with herbs, and breadcrumbs are added for a light, crumbly texture so the pie is not heavy to eat. For extra vitamins serve with lightly cooked spinach.

Easy to make and utterly delicious, with a thick, crunchy, cinnamon topping over apple slices coated in dark brown sugar.

Boiled beef and carrots with dumplings

Recipe by: Chrissie Lloyd

Reviews(1)

Silverside is a lean cut of beef, but you can also use plain or salt brisket. The dumplings puff to twice their original size, so allow plenty of room in the casserole.

For my family, Bonfire Night isn't complete without a slice or two of sticky parkin. Let this sit for a few days before serving for best results.

Cara's Corn Chip Chilli Lasagna

Recipe by: caraanne

Reviews(1)

An excellent hearty and warming family meal. Can be mildly mouthwatering or hot as you dare. It can also be varied ever so slightly by trying different flavoured corn chips/tortilla chips. Try zingy lime or fragrant chilli varieties to suit your own tastes. I have seen chilli lasagna recipes before but always using pasta sheets which doesn't feel very Mexican to me. Serve with a crisp cooling salad dressed with mint, cucumber, yoghurt or soured cream.

A nice and easy cheese soup. Ideal for any situation.

Chocolate Chip Fudge Brownies (W/ Gluten Free Alteration)

Recipe by: cellery

Be the first to review it!

After a painful (yummy, but ridiculously unhealthy) amount of experimenting with different recipes I came up with this one. I think it's pretty damn good, myself. Also, it's sooo much better if you can leave these in a fridge overnight, as this makes 'em far more fudgey (ie. far more YUMMY!) They go down great at school =D

Chunky vegetable soup

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Be the first to review it!

Although this is a hearty soup, laden with vegetables, it has a delicate flavour. Home-made stock is best, but you can use a good-quality bought stock (chilled or from a cube or powder); if using a cube or powder, do not add additional salt at the beginning of cooking as you may find these products provide enough salty seasoning.

Cidered pork stew with light herb dumplings

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Reviews(2)

A spoonful of mustard peps up this simple, vegetable-rich pork stew. Fluffy dumplings served on top help to mop up every bit of the full-flavoured sauce, and turn the stew into a well-balanced meal in a bowl.

Colonial beef curry

Recipe by: Chrissie Lloyd

Reviews(2)

The oriental spices that flavour curry – popular since colonial days – may have medicinal properties too. Turmeric, for instance, is said to improve circulation and relieve digestive problems.

This hot and spicy dish is a great choice for an informal autumn or winter celebration such as Bonfire Night or Halloween. It's low in fat, quick to cook and can be prepared in advance.

Family Cottage Pie

Recipe by: Jan Cutler

Be the first to review it!

This classic favourite makes a comforting meal, especially on a cold day. Lean minced beef is a healthy filling that takes minutes to cook, and the topping is quickly browned under the grill. Serve with peas or seasonal greens. Delicious!

Fisherman's pie

Recipe by: Chrissie Lloyd

Be the first to review it!

This creamy fish pie tastes luxurious but is relatively low in fat. Pungent capers and gherkins have long been favourite flavourings in Britain and bring piquant contrast to the mild, comforting tastes and textures of fish, eggs and potato.

Fluffy Haddock Fish Pie

Recipe by: Patches

Reviews(1)

This filling recipe is best enjoyed on a cold day. Great served with peas or broccoli and some crusty bread.

Goalkeeper's Steak and Ale Pie

Recipe by: Kevin Miller

Be the first to review it!

As a goalkeeper for a top UK soccer team, I revel in my nickname as the "pie man". This is my favourite post match pie. Enjoy with a pint of scrumpy.

Guinea fowl pudding

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

Guinea fowl cooked with shallots, ‘meaty’ chestnut mushrooms, peas and spinach in Madeira wine makes a great pie filling. In this modern version of a traditional favourite, the filling is baked in a pudding basin topped with a lovely, soft-textured potato pastry crust. Serve with Brussels sprouts and baby carrots.

Hotpot with golden parsnips

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

Middle-Eastern influences bring beans, aubergines, apricots, garlic and warm spices to this lamb hotpot, but the topping is in traditional British style – a golden layer of parsnip slices.

Jugged hare with dumplings

Recipe by: Chrissie Lloyd

Be the first to review it!

Rabbit and hare are both low-fat, high-protein meats. Both are rich in iron, B vitamins and phosphorus. Rabbit meat is pale and mild, whereas hare is dark and strong, and needs to be cooked for longer, in plenty of liquid.
