Easy home Fish & Chips
Fish and chips is Britain's best-loved takeaway, served everywhere from seaside kiosks to high-street chippies. Crisp beer batter, flaky white fish and chunky chips are easy to make at home.
Toad in the Hole
Pork sausages baked in a tall, crisp batter, served with onion gravy. Get the dripping smoking hot first and keep the oven door shut.
Baked Cod Loin with Mushy Peas
Fish and chips without the batter. Cod loin baked with lemon and butter, with mushy peas and oven chips, ready in under twenty minutes.
Stuffed Chicken Breast with Salad
A main course with almost no work: stuffed chicken breast baked straight from frozen, with a plain green salad. The filling does the job of a sauce.
Shepherd's Pie
Shepherd's pie is lamb, cottage pie is beef. Minced lamb simmered with onion and carrot under a buttery mash topping, baked until the peaks brown.
Homemade Sausage Rolls
Pork sausage meat rolled in puff pastry and baked until deep golden. Shop bought sausage rolls cannot touch these.
Gammon, Egg & Chips
Pub food, at home. Gammon steaks fried until the edges catch, with a fried egg, chunky chips and a grilled pineapple ring if you want one.
Roast Pork Loin with Crackling
The secret to crackling is a dry skin. Pork loin scored, salted and started hot, so the skin blisters while the meat stays juicy.
Corned Beef Hash
Cheap, fast and better than it has any right to be. Corned beef fried with potato, onion and bacon, pressed flat so the bottom crisps, with a fried egg on top.
