Big Do's peach and blackberry cobbler
From: Kitchen Hero: Great Food for Less
My granddad Do used to keep me and my cousins entertained all summer long on his boat with fishing, crab races and stories about pirates, deep-sea treasure and the biggest fish he ever caught! He liked his food, but never cooked – on our summer adventures with him, we were always under strict orders to bring sandwiches! One day, I caught him sitting below deck slurping peaches in syrup from the tin, one of his favourite after-lunch treats, so this recipe is dedicated to him!
Serves: 4
Total Time: 35
Swedish Christmas Rice Pudding (Julgrot)
From: Kitchen Hero: Great Food for Less
Serve big hearty spoonfuls of the chilled rice with an extra sprinkling of sugar and cinnamon and big dollops of whipped cream.
Serves: 4
Roasted Squash, Coconut and Chilli Soup
From: Kitchen Hero: Great Food for Less
Roasted squash produces wonderful soups with a velvety consistency when blitzed smooth. The addition of coconut milk adds a creamy and exotic flavour, but if you don’t want to use it, you could replace with vegetable stock. This is a warming soup, ideal in autumn and winter. Serves between four and six people.
Red Cabbage and Carrot Coleslaw
From: Kitchen Hero: Great Food for Less
The coleslaw should last 2-3 days if kept in the fridge.
Dig-In Beef Fajitas
From: Kitchen Hero: Great Food for Less
If you’re on the lookout for a rockin’ little dinner dish to serve up to, friends for a quick bite, these beef fajitas are going to blow you away.
Chorizo, Rocket and Red Onion Salad
From: Kitchen Hero: Great Food for Less
Chorizo is one of my favourite ingredients to use, it provides really delicious smoky flavours and, when fried, renders the most amazing red oil. One of the first few times I visited London, I got myself down to world-famous Borough market where you can pick up some of the best Spanish chorizo outside Spain. This salad is nicest if you can get your hands on some really good-quality chorizo – you will generally find the best stuff in Spanish specialty food shops.
Basic Cupcakes
From: Kitchen Hero: Great Food for Less
This recipe comes from my Aunt Erica, and is adapted from her fairy cake recipe. If you are making these for the kids to decorate and you want to limit the time it takes put everything together, it may be easier to make the cupcakes in advance and then get the kids to decorate them later on.

Boxty Colcannon Pancakes
From: Kitchen Hero: Great Food for Less
Boxty potato pancakes are a traditionally Irish recipe and they come with a great little rhyme that we were taught when growing up: ‘Boxty on the griddle, boxty on the pan, if you can’t bake boxty, sure you’ll never get a man.’ The traditional recipe varies from region to region, but they all use grated raw potato. This is the version that my family makes and they are great with a full Irish breakfast, or I also serve them with pan-fried mackerel and a light salad.
