Devilled kidneys on toast.
Gooseberry Fool.
Beef stew with carrots and dumplings.
Beer-battered fish and chunky chips.

Shepherds Pie or a Roast Chicken dinner - they scream classic to me (& I love them both!!)

My family is quite adventurous and think my Mexican Mole should be a classic. They are sad that few even know what it is. Chocolate and chili who doesn't love that?

Home pasta with home made pesto. Nothing cant go wrong, especially with home made tiramisu at the end

Crumble! Everyone loves it, I always make loads more crumble than I need and shove it in the freezer. The first time I made it for the children I told them it was gruffalo crumble and it's their favourite pudding regardless of what fruit goes in. A family favourite now is tinned peaches with a handful of blackberries and maybe a touch of ginger. Plus I can serve it to adults without it looking like I'm serving a kids pudding 😀

Beef Bourgignon #Yummy :)

Dahl. Lots of coriander and coconut milk and a bit of chilli. With perfectly cooked rice.

Spaghetti Bolognese - my late Italian Mill's recipe that cooks for 3+ hours.

I'm a big fan of Jamie Oliver 30 minutes meals. I like my children to have healthy balanced meals, & time is a real issue after the kids have attended after school clubs etc. I usually cook stir frys, pasta etc & spend more time making family favourites like currys, roasts etc for the weekend when we all have more than!

Mine is definitely fish pie - it has to have cheese, chilli and tomato in though just to make it a bit more interesting!

A classic for us is bolognese, it takes me hours and at least two meats, but it is always worth it.

I think there are lots of foods which are now considered to be horribly old-fashioned which are due a renaissance. Black Forest Gateau is a case in point. I made one recently for a German friend's birthday and it was so good I've done it several times since. It's fabulous.

All time classics in our house include:
Salmon Crumble
Vegetable Lasagne
Quorn Korma
Veggie Shepherd's Pie
Broccoli and Cauliflower Bake

Macaroni cheese, perfect comfort food.

Lasagne is a classic for me. Who doesn't like lasagne?!? If you cook it for friends who don't cook regularly it also looks like you've put in loads of effort when you haven't really! Ha ha!!

My mum's chick pea curry!

Bread and butter pudding delicious!

An all time family favourite has to be Mince and Carrots. Think it was called Peasant style mince served with rice. I got the recipe from a pack of long grain rice from Tesco's when I was first married. Forty years ago!!
1lb minced beef,
1 onion sliced
clove of garlic crushed
3 tbs tomato puree
tin of chopped tomatoes
Half pint of beef stock
Seasoning, mixed dried herbs and 3 bay leaves
Fry onion and garlic until transparent, not browned. Add mince and brown. Stir in rest of the ingredients and cook gently for 30 minutes at least. Add a glug of red wine which is optional and serve with rice. I use Basmati these days! This serves 4. Delicious!

I love beef stew and dumpling or roast beef and yorkshire puddings. Our family enjoy the classic prawn cocktail for a starter or tomato soup. Apple crumble or rice pudding for afters. All should be homemade and seasonal produce is the best. All learnt from my mum.
I guess new classics are like a lamb curry or even a spaghetti Bolognese, not the same as in their country of origin but now a regular part of our diet and thoroughly enjoyed.

I think my most classic recipe I make is spaghetti bolognaise. My three children will all eat, as I usually have to cook three different meals! The cookbook will give me some new ideas to try out & broaden the kids horizons and give them the opportunity to try new things

Coq au vin for me! Yummy! With roast potatoes , roast parsnips and green beans

Can't beat a classic Beef Bourguignonne to warm you up this time of year, cooking in the slow cooker all day making things easy and freezing a batch for another day. I like mine with either pasta & garlic bread, or roast potatoes with roasted veg...yum.

My classic recipe is Scouse- a delicious beef stew, I make mine nice and thick with potatoes, carrots and onion, and serve with buttered tiger bread. Perfect for the colder months.

Marcus’ lemon tart from,I think, the first series of great british menu would be high on my list of classic puddings along with apple pie and sticky toffee pudding

For mains I’d go with
Simon Hopkinsons coq au vin recipe
Roast beef
Guiness stew
Fish & chips
Sausage and mash

A little less high brow but Heinz tomato soup and cheese sandwiches is a classic winter lunch!

And cheese on toast is the food of the gods.

This is making me hungry
