Such an easy side dish to serve with a roast. It can be made the day beforehand, refrigerated and reheated the next day. The date syrup is an excellent sweetener, but maple syrup works equally well. It can be cooked in the simmering oven or on the hotplate. Many thanks to AGA Specialist Dawn Roads for this wonderful recipe as part of our Christmas around the world series.
A smooth beetroot soup, based on the iconic Eastern European dish. If the soup is too thick for you, once puréed, just add a little more stock. Many thanks to AGA Specialist Dawn Roads for this wonderful recipe as part of our Christmas around the world series.

Try this simple vanilla fudge recipe. It is delicious mixed with ice cream, crumbled on top of a cake, or enjoyed as a treat on its own. A thermometer is essential for making fudge, so make sure to have one on hand.
Although upside-down cakes were documented in the late 1800s, the origins of this classic cake go back to America, around the 1920s, when canned pineapple gained popularity. This version adds desiccated coconut for extra texture and the zest of a lime to complement the pineapple. With thanks to AGA specialist Dawn Roades for the recipe.
A delicious loaf cake made with honey instead of sugar. The flavour varies dependent upon the type of runny honey you use, dark honey gives a deeper flavour. When the cake comes out of the oven it is treated to a honey syrup! With thanks to Dawn Roads for the delicious recipe.
A classic fruit fool is simply a fruit puree or compote folded through deliciously light whipped cream, yoghurt and custard base. The fruit can be prepared in advance and then this dessert can be whipped up in minutes, up to 72 hours in advance.
These Swedish Lenten buns, filled with marzipan custard and topped with whipped cream, make a gorgeous alternative to hot cross buns. The cardamom dough is brioche-like and a real pleasure to work with too. If you fancy, add a splash of rum or brandy to the cream – not traditional but very delicious!
This traditional French dish derives its name from the practice of taking potato dishes to the local boulangerie to slow-cook all day in the cooler part of the baker’s ovens. The slow cooking process, with a lamb joint placed on top, results in incredibly tender meat, allowing the flavorful juices to infuse the potatoes, making them extra delicious. We've used lamb shoulder, but a leg works just as well and can be easily carved. Serve alongside a simple bowl of steamed greens and a dab of grainy mustard for a perfect meal. Many thanks to Rebecca Woollard for this lovely recipe.
The king of brunches! This hollandaise method takes a little more time than most, but we promise you won’t make it any other way once you’ve tried it. We love the texture contrast of crispy bacon (especially when it’s cooked in the AGA), but you can make it with ham if you prefer. With thanks to Rebecca Woollard for the recipe.
This delicious and seasonal pie is quick to make and wrapped in a delicious homemade pastry.
These cookies have a satisfying malty flavour from the rye flour and stay deliciously chewy in the middle with seriously crispy edges. If you don’t want to use mini eggs, you could substitute chopped white or milk chocolate instead.
A lovely rich gratin balanced out by the slight bitterness of the endives. Serve it with roast chicken or pork, or on its own with a side salad and some crusty bread for mopping up the sauce. With thanks to Rebecca Woollard for this delicious recipe.

A delicious combination of oats, seeds and almonds, ideal for your morning cereal, sprinkled on fruit and yogurt or as a tasty snack. Store in an airtight jar for upto a month, if it lasts that long! Works perfectly with gluten-free oats too. You can easily vary the recipe to your taste, for example, replace some or all of the maple syrup with honey, add sesame seeds, use different dried fruit or experiment with your favourite nuts or coconut shavings.
