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.

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

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

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!

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

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

Beef Bourgignon #Yummy :)

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 😀

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

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?

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

Liver and bacon with onion gravy and piles of creamy mash.
Baked apples stuffed with sultanas and served with custard.
Devilled kidneys on toast.
Gooseberry Fool.
Beef stew with carrots and dumplings.
Beer-battered fish and chunky chips.

Fish Pie and a creamy sauce 🐟

Rhubarb crumble and custard

Jamie Oliver’s green chicken curry. Easy to make, but the huge amount of fresh herbs always ensures that’s it’s full of flavour. Equally good using prawns or fish or crispy tofu.

Not very original but my grandmother's chocolate cake still takes some beating - light and moist. I've never bought one like it.

My favourite classic recipe is a Bolognese sauce, it is so easy to make but so tasty and you can use it in lots of different recipes - pastichio, chilli con carne, lasagna, jacket potatoes, pizza, nachos...

My grandma's Cut and Come Again cake
A spicy fruit loaf, with sultanas and currants and mixed spice, when we were little we used to love to lick the bowl.

What a list, we have so many dishes, ..................

Thai Yellow Curry
Beef Gulasch
Cottage Pie

Risotto - salmon, asparagus, peas and parmesan.

Spag Bowl. Can be awful if cooked badly but a good one (with chillies) is one of my favourite meals.

My all time favourite classics are toad in the hole, shepherd's pie and apple & rhubarb crumble :)

My number one go to recipe is a bolognaise, so tasty (not the stuff out of a jar - yuck!)

I often make a big batch and freeze in portions to have with spaghetti, jacket spud, nachos, or put in a lasagne, or on a pizza - so versatile.

And tiramisu is my fave, it's just beautiful - chocolate, coffee, cream, little bit of alcohol - what's not to love.
