Prep Time 2 minutes - Total Time 1 hour - Makes 1 This dip is so easy to make and an absolute pleasure to eat. I could happily eat the whole bowl to myself in one sitting. All that is needed to enjoy this, is some sort of implement for scooping up all of that goodness. I recommend some nice bread. Ingredients 400g tin of cannellini bean. 1 whole garlic bulb. 1 large red chilli. 1/2 lemon, juice only. A few fresh thyme sprigs, leaves only. Extra virgin olive oil. Method Slice

Prep Time 10 minute - Total Time 45 minutes - Makes 8 - 12 The good old British Sunday roast, done properly it's a thing of beauty, done badly it's unforgivable. Be it chicken, lamb, pork or beef with lots of golden roast potatoes , veg and gravy but without Yorkshire pudding it simply isn't a Sunday roast.

Prep Time 15 minutes - Total Time 2 hours - Serves 6 Ok, you can’t mess about with Christmas dinner, it’s probably the most important meal of the year. And in my house, there are a few essentials that are a MUST!! One, obviously a beautiful juicy turkey. Two, proper pan gravy (no granules). Three, crispy and fluffy roast potatoes. & Four, stuffing!!! This stuffing eats like a meal just on its own! Made using good quality sausage meat, smoked streaky bacon courtesy of The Joll

Prep Time 10 minutes - Total Time 35 minutes - Serves 4 as a side dish You’ve heard of chicken parmigiana or even aubergine parmigiana but how about potato parmigiana? Such a great alternative and a great little side dish. I like it for lunch with a nice little side salad of rocket. Ingredients 1 kg of baby potatoes, cut in half. 1 mozzarella ball. Parmesan. Sauce Ingredients 400 g of passata. 3 tbsps of pesto. 2 roasted red peppers, from a jar. 1 tsp of garlic granules. 1 ts

Prep Time 5 minutes - Total Time 20 minutes - Serves 2 It’s amazing what you can do with a tin of potatoes and a few spices. Such a simple, easy and very cheap little recipe. I could easily eat this for breakfast with a couple of eggs or have it for lunch or dinner. Ingredients 600 g of tinned peeled new potatoes. 1 large thumb piece of ginger. 3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped. 1 red chilli, roughly chopped. 1 onion, roughly chopped. 2 tbsps of tomato purée. 3 cardamom pods,

Prep Time 10 minutes - Total Time 1 hour - Serves 4 These potatoes are the perfect side dish to any BBQ. But will also go amazingly with a roast chicken on a Sunday. It will also go beautifully with some grilled fish or if you are like me, eat them on their own with some tzatziki for dipping into.

Prep Time 10 minutes - Total Time 40 minutes - Serves 2 Soft, crunchy, tender, tangy this salad hits all the marks and then some. Beautiful just on its own, and I often do have it on its own for lunch, but with added super crispy chicken it takes it to the next level. And if you like garlic why not use aioli instead of mayo for that extra kick of flavour.

Prep Time 10 minutes - Total Time 15 minutes - Serves 3 The perfect side dish to go with steak, chicken, pork or fish. You could even turn it into a salad by adding a poached egg, new potatoes, olives. Or you could pimp it up by adding bacon and mushrooms. Whatever you’re having it with, pile it high in a bowl and place in the middle of the table for everyone to tuck in. Ingredients 300 g of green beans. 1 large banana shallot, finely diced. 2 garlic cloves, finely sliced. 2

Prep Time 10 minutes - Total Time 35 minutes - Serves 4 If you don’t like cauliflower this is your gateway into loving it. Basically, if there is anything you do not like pour cheese sauce on it and you will be converted. Cauliflower cheese on its own is amazing but with the chestnut and chorizo crumb, it just takes it to another level that you need to experience. Ingredients 1 large cauliflower, broken up into florets. 50 g unsalted butter. 50 g plain flour. 1 white onion, f

Prep Time 10 minutes - Total Time 15 minutes - Serves 7 Coleslaw, the king of side dishes, goes perfect on the side of your plate next to pretty much anything. But trust me don’t buy it from the shop, make it yourself, it’s 100% better. You can pretty much use any veggies you like but this is my favourite combination. Also, I use mayonnaise in this recipe but you could use yoghurt if you liked. (You will also find this recipe on page 162 of my book Richard’s Family Favourites
