Cooking with Cranberries

Truffles are so easy to make. Why not whip up a batch to give as a lovely homemade gift – or just be naughty and save them for yourself!

A twist on the traditional favourite. Serve warm with butter and jam for an Easter treat.

This dessert makes a good centrepeice and there will be no lack of wow factor when you cut into it to reveal the fruity filling.

One of the great things about cheesecake is that you can make it in advance. Serve with a few fresh berries and a splash of cream.

Not a great dish if you’re on a diet – but fantastic for an indulgent treat on that special occasion.

Serve with a selection of roasted veg. Simply toss chunks of red, orange and yellow peppers with olive oil, salt and pepper and asparagus spears and roast alongside the chicken until just beginning to char.

This recipe is great if you’re looking for a lighter alternative to Sunday lunch, but is versatile enough to work as a mid-week meal.

A hearty Sunday roast and Easter feast that the whole family will love. The vegetables in the recipe can be replaced with others if you wish such as potatoes, parsnips, carrots, courgettes or aubergines. The timings giving are for cooked lamb that is still a little pink so if you prefer your meat pinker or well done, adjust the times accordingly.

This dish is just perfect for Easter Sunday lunch. Serve with mashed potatoes and a selection of seasonal greens.

A good alternative to a traditional Sunday roast!
