Craig Rowe: My delicious apple crumble recipe

Hi everyone,

This has to be my all time favourite thing to bake and it's definitely a big hit with my friends and family. I even once had a friend drive down from Leeds just because I was serving it up at a dinner party!

It's a little different from most crumbles because there's far more crumble than fruit - it tends to be crunchy on top with a cookie doughie-ness underneath.

Enjoy!

Alison Keenan: My classic Italian chicken

Hi everyone,

I cook this dish time and time again because it's an absolute doddle to make and not too expensive. Plus it looks impressive so if you're planning a dinner party, this is a great recipe to try.

Serve it with either fresh pasta, fried slices of polenta, or new potatoes and green veg - french beans are really good with this.

Enjoy!

Catherine Huntley: My Kitty Kedgeree

Hi everyone,

This is a recipe I adapted when my children were little and I had very little money. Ever been hunting down the back of the settee for coins? Then you get the picture! I have never actually had a conventional haddock kedgeree.

(Please note – no kitties were harmed during the making of this kedgeree. It’s only called that because my two cats love it with a passion!)

This dish is very affordable and a great last-minute standby meal. I also like it because you can chuck it in a Lock & Lock and it makes a great packed lunch without looking like yesterday’s leftovers. This is so easy to make and great if you’ve got a few people round for an informal gathering. It goes well on a buffet table at a bbq too!

Jilly Halliday: My son's tasty recipe

Hi everyone,

My son Taylor had to devise a recipe for school that was relatively healthy and this is the dish that we came up with. It's called Taylor's Tasty Pork and it's really good.

Taylor is 7 and quite a fussy eater but he really likes Chinese-style cooking. You can adapt this recipe and sneak all kinds of vegetables in with the noodles - as long as it looks colourful the kids seem to love it! Taylor has also drawn a picture to go with it!

Enjoy!

Julia Roberts' recipe: My family's favourite dinner!

Hi everyone,

I must have been making this lasagne dish for about 15 years - it pre-dated the move to the house I live in now, and we've been there 13 and a half years! I made it Saturday night after the footie (which we lost!) and the comments were: Sophie - yummy, Daniel - delicious and Chris - very nice!

Incidentally, if you're making it for three people, or two with very large appetites, you can leave out the middle layer of pasta.

So try it yourself and I hope you enjoy it!

Love,

Julia
