Yesterday I made my late granny's recipe - home made lentil soup. Diced veg, gently fried then add smoked ham ribs and lentils and cook for hours. Heaven in a bowl!

My nan's lemon meringue pie recipe

Roast meals.
Sticky toffee pudding.
Yyy to sausage casserole.

Chicken biryani.

Off to look up Halloumi burgers

Warming lentil and vegetable stew is a classic in our house every winter!

Love a Luxury Fish Pie, with salmon, prawns and smoked haddock in a creamy cheese sauce , topped with Fluffy Mashed Potato Yummmeeee

Macaroni cheese with a good dollop of English mustard stirred into it - heaven on a cold evening.

Lasagne. A good lasagne is a thing of beauty.

Shepherds pie and lamb stew were my Mum's regular dinners when we were children.

Quorn sausages, mash and fried onion!

A rich and tasty spaghetti bolognese
Traditional roast beef with all the trimmings
Pie!! Of any variety

Can't beat a classic spaghetti bolognaise!

For me, the ultimate classic recipe for comfort and easiness is beef stew and dumplings

I love a good chilli con carne, the perfect classic winter food to tuck into on a cold winters evening. I also love a cottage pie and toad in the hole, all the comfort food!. Mmmm!

Beef stew and dumplings

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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!

Bread and butter pudding delicious!

My mum's chick pea curry!

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!!

Macaroni cheese, perfect comfort food.
