Aga Basics
- Flatbreads bring a delightful Mediterranean touch to any meal. They’re easy to make and cook beautifully directly on the simmering plate. Serve them alongside tagines, casseroles, or slow-roasted lamb for a perfect pairing.
- Root vegetables cook perfectly in the AGA simmering oven, preserving flavour and goodness. This simple method can be used for any root vegetables like carrots, swedes or parsnips, just ensure you cut them into even-sized pieces.
- An AGA classic, these eggs are cooked on the simmering plate without the need for any added fat or oil, resulting in a perfectly cooked top and bottom. They’re delicious served with AGA toast or as part of a traditional English breakfast.
- A slow-cooked ragu is a versatile kitchen staple, perfect for pairing with your favorite pasta and a sprinkle of Parmesan or as the base for a delicious homemade lasagne. While the AGA simmering oven is ideal for this dish, you can also prepare it on the hotplate or hob.
- Béchamel, one of the classic French ‘mother’ sauces, is the foundation for countless dishes like mac and cheese, lasagne, moussaka, and fish pie. It’s a versatile staple that’s essential to have in your repertoire. This quantity will serve 6-8 as a pouring sauce or 6 portions when made for use in lasagne or mac 'n' cheese. If you're short of time, you can omit the infusion stages.
- Whether you’re preparing for a traditional Sunday roast or Christmas dinner, these AGA homemade Yorkshire puddings are a must.

- The Victoria Sandwich, named after and a favourite cake of Queen Victoria, represents classic English baking and in our opinion should only be made with butter for the best flavour. I find it therapeutic to make it the traditional way once in a while, alternatively use a hand or stand mixer.
- AGA toast is renowned for its golden crisp outside and soft centre.
- A simple recipe for breakfast, dessert or just a delicious snack, these scones are cooked direct on the simmering plate and are ready in a matter of minutes. The fresh blueberries give the drop scones a burst of flavour. Many thanks to AGA Specialist Dawn Roads for this lovely recipe.
