Cottage pie is a firm favourite in our household and as I follow my mum's recipe and she is a classic, I think it counts as a classic recipe!

My not very authentic paella is a classic in my house. My husband requests it every couple of weeks. My daughter's favourite is meatballs and pasta.

OK - If we are talking old classic then Mrs Beeton has to get a mention here and her Bread Pudding is Legendary - We love it

I'll go for puddings, one of my favourite's is crème caramel, I prefer this to crème brulee. The best pudding I have ever had in a restaurant, much to my surprise because I'm not usually an ice cream person, was baked Alaska! Pavlova is up there too, very versatile, and chocolate roulade would all be in my all time classics!

Beef stew, shepherds pie and home made rice pud!

Classic has to be sticky toffee pudding

I love making spaghetti bolognaise

Not sure if it counts as classic, but I love making spaghetti carbonara - it's quick and easy to make and super tasty too!

Lancashire Hotpot

A classic beef stew and dumplngs

Lasagne
Spaghetti Bolognese
Shepherd's Pie.
They are my favourite recipes, and always go down well!

Coq au Vin is a favourite in our house

I have cooked a lot of the recipes from Delia’s complete cookery course.
Really classic, simple staples like lasagne, cottage pie, fish pie and breads.
I truly did learn to cook from that book.

My modern favourite recipe for a special occasion is Gordon Ramsay’s sea trout with crushed new potatoes, baby leeks and tomato butter sauce.
And a midweek staple is Ainsley Harriott’s curry in a hurry (in the oven cooking as we speak)

spag bol is a classic in our house - we batch cook it from scratch and freeze it up in portions - as my niece is veggie we make it with quorn and its still delicious

Coq au vin.
Absolutely delicious, filling, impressive (if preferred) and the recipe can be versatile if necessary.

Can't beat a great toad in the hole!

Beef Stroganoff

My favourite classic recipe is one that you don't see often any more - Irish Stew.

I love lamb, I love cheap cuts and I love slow one pot cooking and Irish Stew covers all of those. And it involves pearl barley, a mysterious ingredient which reminds me of my Nana .

Half a deep plate/bowl full of piping hot Irish Stew with lots of white pepper on the potatoes, and the other half of the plate filled with bright green steamed Savoy cabbage plus a knob of butter. Couldn't wish for a better dinner in the winter.

Oh lordy....where do i start?!!

1. Butternut Squash and Red Pepper soup - easy to make, hearty, filling and flavoursome!

2. Veggie Lasagna - packed full of colour and nutrients. Can be batch made and frozen for later.

Roast chicken with garlic is a classic

Mince & dumplings!

Cauliflower cheese
Coq au vin
Macaroni cheese
Minestrone soup
Sunday roast

Shepherd's Pie
