Large Victoria Sponge Cake- a recipe for a classic Victoria Sponge with whipped cream, using 9 inch cake tins. This recipe will give you 12, thick slices of cake. Jump to Recipe Every, single year (except one), my husband requests Victoria Sponge cake for his birthday. It's his absolute favourite cake and he's now started requesting it for our anniversary! I don't mind too much; it's pretty much the perfect cake. Light vanilla sponge, whipped cream and strawberry jam make it a very safe bet when you're choosing a cake. I'm not a fan of buttercream being used as a filling for Victoria Sponge, personally. I find it makes the cake far too sweet when paired with the jam. This recipe is for a large, 9 inch Victoria sponge, just the size when you need enough for 12 people. It will provide pretty generous slices at that number, so you could even squeeze a couple of extra slices out of it, if you need to.

Slow Cooker Smoky Cauliflower Cheese Soup- Cauliflower soup made in the slow cooker with smoked cheese and Dijon mustard. A delicious winter lunch option. Jump to Recipe I have tended to avoid cauliflower in the past, because I find it a bit of a bland vegetable. The only way I really enjoyed it was when it's slathered in cheese sauce on the side of a roast dinner! So, I thought, why not make a cauliflower cheese soup? It was still a little on the dull side until I used smoked cheese and then, and here's the magic, Dijon mustard. I can't tell you what a huge difference the zing of the Dijon makes. It transforms the whole soup from meh to wow. Gorgeous.

Cheesy Mashed Potato and Bean Bake- this dinner recipe is the ultimate filling, vegetarian, comfort food. Smoky beans in a tomato and thyme sauce, topped with cheesy mash. Jump to Recipe We've developed a real taste for different types of beans since we started 'Meat-Free Mondays' last year. Probably my favourite 'full of beans' meal is Slow Cooker Vegan Chilli but I can't eat that every week, though I could be tempted! This Cheesy Mashed Potato and Bean Bake, uses some of the same ingredients but it's much more of a comfort food dinner, a bit of a vegetarian twist on Shepherd's Pie. I use cannellini beans and kidney beans for the bean part of the bake. You could easily switch them for your own favourite- haricot, borlotti, your choice.

Spicy Sausage Pasta- a simple pasta dish with grilled Cumberland sausages and a spicy tomato and red pepper sauce. A delicious, comforting dinner. Jump to Recipe This spicy, sausage pasta recipe is just the thing to keep your family warm on a cold, wintery evening. It's pretty quick to make with grilled sausages in a tomato- based sauce and a bit of spice from the crushed chillis. It's easy to make and can be doubled to feed a crowd, if needed.
