Cut your potatoes smaller so that there's no need to par-boil to achieve perfectly crispy garlic and thyme flavoured spuds, with fluffy centres

Crispy Cubed Roasties With Garlic & Thyme

2kg Maris Piper potatoes

garlic

thyme

olive oil

Crispy cubed roasties with garlic & thyme

Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes. Put the garlic, thyme and oil in a large roasting tin, and put it in the oven for 5 mins.

Tip the potatoes into the roasting tin, quickly turn them to coat in the oil, then spread them out in a single layer. Season well and roast for 1–11/2 hrs, turning occasionally during cooking, until golden and crispy.

This tart is easy to make, looks stunning and tastes wonderful. Best of all, you can make it ahead and reheat from frozen

Goat's cheese, potato & onion tart

pack shortcrust pastry

butter

onions

1medium potato

thyme leaf

goat's cheese

eggs

carton crème fraîche

bag rocket to serve, optional

Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Roll out the pastry so it is large enough to fit a deep 23cm loose-bottomed tart tin, then line the tin with the pastry. Chill for 30 mins. Line the pastry with greaseproof paper, fill with baking beans and bake for 15 mins. Remove the paper and beans and return the tin to the oven for 5 mins until golden, then remove and set aside. Reduce oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4.

Heat the butter and oil in a large frying pan, add the onions and potato and cook over a very gentle heat for 10-15 mins, turning occasionally, until golden and tender. Season if you want to, then add the garlic and thyme leaves, and cook for a further 3 mins. Tip into the pastry case along with the goat’s cheese and spread out evenly.

Whisk the eggs and crème fraîche together, season if you want to, then pour into the pastry case and bake for 30-35 mins until lightly golden brown and just set in the centre. Serve warm, with rocket leaves scattered over if using.

This make-ahead festive dessert is deliciously different and incredibly simple to make, with amaretti biscuits, fresh oranges and double cream

Freeze-ahead chocolate & chestnut parfait

milk chocolate

sweetened chestnut purée

soft amaretti biscuits

oranges orange

double cream

dark chocolate

Rinse a 22 x 10 x 7cm deep loaf tin (about 1.5 litres in volume) with cold water, but don’t dry it. Line the tin with cling film, smoothing out as many of the wrinkles as you can.

Stir the chocolate, chestnut purée and amaretti biscuits together, then stir through the orange and zest. Gently fold in the cream until combined, then spoon the mixture into the tin. Smooth the top and cover with cling film. Freeze for 3-4 hrs until just firm.

Take the parfait out of the freezer 20 mins before serving. To serve, dip the tin briefly in hot water, then turn out onto a serving plate and remove the cling film. Scatter over the grated chocolate and slice.

If you’ve got a spare half-an-hour, whip up these easy muffins and freeze them for when you need them

Choc-cherry muffins

self-raising flour

tsp bicarbonate of soda

sour cherry

bar white chocolate

bar dark chocolate

golden caster sugar

yogurt

Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with some paper cases. Sift the flour, and bicarbonate of soda into a large bowl, then stir in the cherries, chocolate and sugar. Add the beaten eggs, yogurt and then the butter and stir to combine. It doesn’t matter if the mixture looks a bit lumpy, it’s more important not to overmix or the muffins will turn out tough.

Fill the paper cases and bake for 20-25 mins until risen and golden brown. Transfer to a rack to cool. They are especially delicious eaten slightly warm.
