My favourite classic recipe is fish pie. It needs to have smoked fish in it as well as lots of white fish and a creamy cheese sauce. Lovely!

I don't really know what a classic recipe is, but stew and dumplings is high on my winter food list!

Roast beef with perfect roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings , apple pie -love the simple things in life !

Not quite clear on the definition of 'classic' but in our house it is the vegetarian lasagne that I used to make as a student and which I still make 20 years later! 😊

Toad in the hole. Yum. X

Cottage pie (or shepherds pie if made with lamb). It's a classic in our family going back generations. Hot, comforting, delicious. I add Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and tomato ketchup to make a rich thick gravy. Delicious!

When eating out if Creme Brûlée is on the menu, there is really no argument about what I'm having. The satisfying crunch of the caramel top, the lovely wobble of the custard, it's just perfection not to be missed or messed with. Ive even been known to knock out a decent one at home. (Though the time the saucepan wasn't quite cleaned and we ended up with garlic creme brûlée, is an innovation too far)

Beef bourgignon

For me, it’s a straightforward Victoria sponge.
Not sure if it’s because my children are egg and dairy allergic so I don’t really get to eat “real” cake any more, but I saw a picture of a Victoria sponge the other day and just felt so incredibly nostalgic.
