Once you've peeled and cored the quinces there's really little work to do to make this gorgeous dessert. They just bubble away happily for a few hours while the sugar and long slow cooking cast their spell, transforming the quinces' hard, ivory-coloured flesh until it's meltingly soft and an incredible deep-rose colour.

4 salmon fillets, skin on (175g per portion) 2 tbs soy sauce 1 tbs rice wine vinegar 1 tbs olive oil 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tbs ginger, mined 1 small red chilli 1 lime, juiced

Three large oranges Six eggs 250g caster sugar 1 tsp baking powder 250g almond meal (ground almonds)

I'm never quite sure what to call this; it's baked in a ceramic pie or gratin dish so it looks a bit like a tart, especially with the glistening pear slices fanned over the top, and yet the moist, satisfyingly crunchy texture is more that of a cake. It doesn't really matter, what does is that it's a breeze to make, has a lovely homely flavour, and is just the sort of thing to whip up when you want a rather fabulous dessert in a hurry.

One of the most popular dishes on our menu at the moment, this curry has so much flavour! Our Nancy is a spice master...the secret is in the cooking of the onions, she almost cooks them to a paste

A savoury crumble seems very odd at first but makes a lot of delicious sense when you eat it! Using dried chestnuts, which are available from good Italian grocers reduces the preparation time.

A short, crunchy crust that breaks open with a burst of flavour and just a touch of heat.

A spicy Thai take on fried chicken, perfect as an entree to get the taste-buds sizzling or part of a main meal with rice and vegetables.

These savoury bites break apart with a gentle crunch, with dough as light as air and a sticky honey sauce that will have you coming back for more.

This simple recipe is bursting with sweetness from the figs, combined with a hearty crunch of hazlenuts.

As the cold weather sets in, this nourishing winter dish is perfect to warm hands, feet and heart. The addition of buckwheat flour to polenta gives it a delicious smoky earth flavour and adds to the nutrition level of this dish. Rich in fibre and silica, gluten free buckwheat contain rutin, a bioflavonoid that is know to increase blood circulation and reduce high blood pressure. Perfect for winter!

The frittata has almost overtaken the classic quiche. It is a healthier option as it doesn't have the extra kilojoules of a pastry case. It's Italian in origin and a versatile dish as you can serve it hot or at room temperature for lunch or dinner, alone or with a salad or vegetables, as part of an Antipasto selection or cut in bite-size pieces to serve as a nibble with drinks.

Delicious weekend dish.

Cabbage at its best.

2 tablespoons sesame oil 2 teaspoons garlic, minced 1 cup shredded carrots 1 cup cabbage, thinly sliced 1 red capsicum, thinly sliced 1 green chilli, sliced 3 large zucchini, spiralled into noodles 2 large chicken breasts, cooked & shredded Toppings 1/2 cup cashew nuts, chopped spring onion Satay sauce 1/2 cup peanut butter 1/3 cup honey 1/3 cup soy sauce 2 tablespoons sesame oil 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced 1 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce

This indulgent cheesecake is as light as air, with all the ingredients of an afternoon tea rolled into one - coffee, chocolate and caramel biscuits.

Pumpkin soup on it's own can be rather plain but with interesting garnishes, the ordinary becomes delicious. This variation on a classic pesto, which uses pine nuts, incorporates roasted almonds instead, giving this ubiquitous winter soup a greater depth of flavour and crunch.

I nearly didn't write the word 'anchovies' in the name of this dish as I know that many people will pretty much automatically by-pass any recipe that has anchovies in it. It's such a shame, because (as is the case with many dishes that include them) they add a depth of flavour and intriguing background note that is perfectly delicious without being at all fishy. If you're one of my mob, and love them, then do give this recipe a try...it's such a simple dish yet full of flavour (I sometimes add a chopped red chilli at the end to give it a bit more oomph too.) The beans are terrific with any sort of grilled meat or fish.

TIS TIME TO DUST OFF THOSE CASSEROLE DISHES AND GET BRAISING FOR A DROP IN TEMPRATURE. THIS FLAVOURSIM CHUTTNEY IS A GREAT ENHANCMENT WITH CURRY DISHES, OR EVEN GREAT LIGHTLY SPREAD ON A WARM BAQUETTE WITH CHICKEN, LETTUCE ETC.

Base 180g butter, at room temperature 80g icing sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 egg 225g plain flour Topping 315g castor sugar 4 eggs 2 egg yolks 1 tbs lemon zest 160ml lemon juice 40g plain flour

Fortunately Tuscan black kale (cavolo nero) with its sweet, earthy flavour is readily available now, however as it's gratifyingly hardy and easy to grow, if you have a small patch or pot to put some in I can't encourage you enough to do so; it will pay you back in spades. The crinkly blue/green leaves are quite tough, but with long, slow cooking they become tender and gently sweet, and that's the quality they give to this stick-to-your-ribs soup. I usually make it on the weekend when I have a bit more time to potter around in the kitchen, and love that it makes rather a lot (I've never been one to cook by halves! Although by all means make half the recipe if you'd rather not have leftovers) as having a tub tucked away in the fridge is like gold in the bank in a busy week. There's a fair bit of chopping required to start with, however once that's done the recipe is really straightforward.
