A good basic cake you can build with, and on...

As Kate says, it 'ticks all the boxes'.

The only way I like to eat mandarins... and I'm sure it counts as a fruit portion...

Deceptively simple to make and altogether yummy.

Mum made this at Bawley at Easter, and I think it's delicious! Thanks for the recipe, mum.

Because American bread is beyond disgusting.

It is simple, it is basic, and it is so much better than the tinned stuff...

The spinach pie we ate to farewell Allie. We are missing you already, girl.

Easy and yummy ... what more can you want? But it does depend on getting the right sausages and the right lentils... good luck at Bawley!

This is really Kate's recipe, but if she's not going to post she can bite me. All I know is that it is damn yummy.

This is one of Matthew Evan's foolproof recipes. I think it can stand with some tinkering.

This recipe gets extra points for looking impressive while being dead easy to prepare. Did I mention that its also really tasty?

by Allie's request, one of the first dishes I ever knew how to cook

Light, quick and yummy ... and no actual cooking, so perfect for a hot, humid Sydney summer

Stop making that face Doug, this is good.

Eli does love these.

I think credit for this version goes to Jo, but I am writing it up... and of course you can still eat it while watching "Edge of Darkness" for a complete retro experience.

The first salvo in my war against recipes torn out of magazines and stuffed into cookbooks. It may be unwinnable.

A little early nineties in its colour combination, but don't hold that against it

I make this quite a bit ... it's quick, light, and very good to eat.

This is the dish Sylvie liked, once upon a time ...

You never eat the same guacamole twice.

We've all been cooking this for years, but it is still great!

One of the best I've ever eaten, and always in demand at picnics

Throw on your caftan, pour a long g & t, and put on some Burt Bacharach

Perfect on a picnic because there won't be any left to carry home

This is the bread I made for my 30th birthday picnic.

Perfect for any emergency

This egg and bacon pie is simpler, but still yummy

Don't think about your cholesterol levels, just eat it!

Way yummier than a boring old club.

A one pan, complete meal.

Allie cooked this first...but we cook it now

gosh, but that made me feel good inside

The bolognese sauce that dares to speak its name

Basic, but Griffin liked it

The ossobuco Kate cooks when the family comes to dinner.

A slow cooked dish for a cold day working from home.

Yummmmmm. I'm hungry now.

A delicious mid-point between Risotto and plain absorbed rice
