Smoked Haddock & Leek Risotto
A simple recipe for a warming and creamy risotto, that you can make in half an hour. The recipe uses smoked haddock, but if you prefer you could use a different type of flakey fish, or even chicken. If you like button mushrooms, you could add some of those too!

Baked red cabbage
The colour of the cabbage enhances any main course but it goes particularly well with roasts and can be cooked, at the same time, in a casserole on the bottom shelf. It is very temperature tolerant and can even be gently simmered on top of the stove, providing you are there to stir it occasionally. As red cabbages can be large you may have more than you need; any leftover freezes well and can easily be reheated in a microwave.
Read MoreAlone in the kitchen – Tuna Pasta
On my birthday a friend gave me a book called "Alone in the kitchen with an eggplant" as a present. It's a book about people who have to cook for one and their lone habits, but not having a boyfriend when she gave it to me I was a little bemused. Cue 2 weeks later and the book is one of the funniest things I have read in the past few months with its meticulous portraits of the deep relationship there is between each individual and food. People who are famous for their luxurious dinner parties that only eat cereal out of a box when alone. Others who don't cook anything but rice and beans. And those who face eating at a restaurant alone without fear.

Sausage & wholegrain mustard with pasta
Sausages. They're great aren't they? If you normally make toad in the hole or the classic bangers and mash, then here's another way to put them to good use. As with a lot of my recipes at the moment it's one which is very quick to make, but doesn't skimp on flavour. As long as you don't skimp on buying quality sausages that is. So, give this a go and feel free to experiment with your own ingredients!

Gammon joint, glazed vegetables and a parsley sauce
Gammon joint and parsley sauce is an awesome combination, which is why it's such a classic recipe. I've added a little treat with the glazed carrots and courgettes - the sweetness goes very well with the pork. There will probably be some meat left over, so I'd suggest making yourself another nice meal with cold meat and bubble and squeek. Yum!
