Here we have a brothy and unctuous stew of meltingly tender lamb, packed with veg and herbs and underpinned by the soothing texture of pearl barley. While the wild garlic – in season until next month – is fantastic, I appreciate it can be hard to find; have no fear, as this is equally delicious with cavolo nero or even just a handful of parsley.

Moules marinière has become a recipe that I particularly enjoy playing around with, adding ’nduja or smoked haddock, using vermouth instead of wine, clams instead of mussels… and this little number with dry cider, smoky bacon and freshly dug leeks is particularly special.

These days, when meat costs are high, it is worth eating better quality, less often. Intensively reared pork will not have the sweetness and rich, firm texture you get with a lovely bit of happy outdoor-reared variety. I have suggested belly here as it is a cheaper cut. You can buy the belly with or without bones. Spiced Lentils, Lentils And Rice, Rhubarb Pudding, Easy Chinese Recipes, Butter Beans, Braised Pork

A rich, nutty Thai panang curry goes so well with beef. While many Thai curries are quite brothy, panang is more of a modest sauce that is rich, sweet, salty and nutty with a hint of spice from the cumin, coriander and nutmeg.

This hot and spicy stir-fried rice noodle dish is a popular Thai street food. ‘Kee mao’ translates as ‘drunken’ and several theories exist around the name. Most people say that it refers to the spiciness, making diners drink heavily to combat the heat. Some believe it’s because it is an excellent hangover cure. Others reckon it’s because the dish is so hot that the diner has to be drunk to stand it! Rice Noodles Stir Fry, Pad Kee Mao Recipe

The sweet, aromatic flavours of this tagine typify Moroccan cooking, as does the use of dates or other dried fruit. Ground ginger is a great spice to have on hand.

Few things are as comforting as a meatball. And the first time you do them in the slow cooker will have you asking why you haven’t tried it before. The sauce can be made in advance - well in advance if you wish. The two golden rules of slow cooking must be adhered to for this: don’t lift the lid, and don’t stir too much.

Lime pickle is one of the tastiest things to have on hand. Not only is it a spicy and sweet condiment to serve with curries, it’s pretty good with crackers and cheddar too. And a few tablespoons stirred through a soup really make it dance with zesty flavour. Chef Recipes, Soup Recipes, Vegetarian Recipes, Clam Pasta, Pickle Soup

This is closely based on jambalaya, a treasured Cajun/Creole dish that my husband loves and has been cooking for years. This version is by no means authentic because I’ve adapted it to use leftovers. But it’s a dream come true for the remains of Christmas lunch because you can use up so many of the components. Food - Pork, Christmas Lunch, Jambalaya, Creole, Cajun, How To Cook Chicken

It’s a classic Cantonese dish that found its way to Malaysia with the Chinese from Hong Kong and other parts of southern China. Traditionally it’s made with chicken or vegetable stock, but my version uses a smoky-bacon broth. The dumplings will freeze for up to two months in an airtight container - boil for 5 minutes before serving. Raw Prawns, Paris Kitchen, Smoky Bacon, Broth Recipes, Light Lunch, Vegetable Stock

This is a dish from Berlin, where my mother’s father is from. She used to prepare it when I was growing up, using day-old potatoes and bits of cooked meat. Frankfurters are probably best. Pork sausages aren’t normally found in Jewish homes, but my mother would go out of her way to get some.
