Gruyère, ham and mushroom salad
The Swiss cheese gruyère is usually used for cooking, but its sweet, nutty taste makes it the perfect choice for a salad, too. It works well with lean ham, green beans, cherry tomatoes and salad leaves in a piquant lemon and green peppercorn dressing.
Gruyère gougère with ratatouille
Many cooks won't attempt to make a gougère, which is a choux pastry ring, because they think it's too difficult. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Choux pastry is very simple to make, and it can be prepared ahead – shape the [...]
Apple-berry soufflé omelette
This light, sweet omelette should be cooked just before serving, but can be prepared up to the end of step 2 an hour ahead. It's a simple yet delectable pudding to make in late summer and early autumn that makes the most of seasonal fruit.
Vegetable chips with peanut dip
Oven–baked chips are not only healthier than those that are fried, their flavour is fresher too. Here, thin slices of beetroot and potato are baked to make dippers for a spicy Southeast Asian dip. If possible, slice the vegetables with a [...]
Artichoke soup with caraway

Bolognese beef pot
Lemon and fennel bring wonderfully fresh flavours to familiar braised beef mince in this Italian–inspired dish, making this as good for al fresco summer dining as for a light supper on a winter evening. Serve plenty of bread to mop up the [...]
Borsch with crunchy mash

Braised vegetables with falafel and yogurt sauce
As a change from rice, pasta or couscous, try little falafel with a simple vegetable casserole. Made with canned chickpeas and baked rather than deep–fried, these falafel are quick and easy to prepare, as well as being deliciously healthy.
Broccoli soup with salmon cakes
