Garlic bread is always popular to serve with barbecued or grilled meats as well as pasta dishes and takes minutes to make. We’ve used French bread in this recipe but you can also use ciabatta bread or even crusty rolls. Any leftover garlic butter can be dotted on cooked vegetables such as carrots and green beans or served on steak just before serving.

  • Serves: 6

  • Prep time: 5 mins

  • Cooking time: 15 mins

  • Total time: 20 mins

You can make this butter a few days in advance, wrap it tightly in cling film until needed. It can also be frozen, but don’t store for more than 1 month as garlic can develop a stronger flavour if kept for too long

Ingredients

  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
  • 100g salted butter, softened
  • 3tbsp finely chopped parsley
  • 1 loaf French bread

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark .
  2. Mix the garlic into the softened butter with the parsley.
  3. Cut the French stick into slices, without cutting right through the bread. Spread the butter in between each slice, then wrap the bread in a sheet of foil and bake for 10-15 mins until golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately.

Impress your guests with inspirational restaurant-style dishes. No need to let on how simple they are to cook. This side of salmon is roasted with white wine, lemon juice and dill and served with buttery hollandaise sauce flavoured with horseradish. Very simple to make for entertaining.

  • Serves: 6
  • Prep time: 10 mins
  • Cooking time: 20 mins
  • Total time: 30 mins
  • Skill level: Bit of effort
  • Costs: Mid-price
  • 45g (1 1/2oz) butter
  • 1kg (2¼lb) side of salmon
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill leaves
  • 150ml (5fl oz) dry white wine
  • Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon

For the hollandaise:

  • 3 medium egg yolks
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp white wine
  • 150g (5oz) butter
  • 1 tbsp hot horseradish

Buying a pot of Tesco Finest Hollandaise Sauce will save some time over the busy Christmas period

  1. Set the oven to Gas Mark 6 or 200°C. Line a roasting tin with a sheet of foil. Rub some of the butter on the foil. Lay the salmon on the foil, skin-side down. Season, then sprinkle with the dill.
  2. Pour over the white wine and sprinkle with the lemon zest and juice. Dot with the rest of the butter. Roast for 20 minutes until the fish is tender, flaking and just turning golden.
  3. To make the hollandaise sauce: Whizz together egg yolks, lemon juice and wine with a pinch of salt in a food processor. Heat the butter until it is very hot. Give the egg mix another quick whizz. With the motor running slowly, drizzle in the very hot melted butter, then add the horseradish.
  4. Serve the salmon warm or cold with the hollandaise.

Top tip: ‘A properly cooked sponge cake should be firm in the middle and have slightly shrunk away from the sides of the tin. It should also spring back when you touch it.’

Cake expert, Eric Lanlard

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • Their weight in pounded sugar, butter and flour
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • A layer of any kind of jam or marmalade

Method

  1. Beat the butter to a cream and dredge in the flour and pounded sugar. Stir these ingredients well together, and add the eggs, which should be previously thoroughly whisked.
  2. When the mixture has been well beaten for about 10 mins, butter a Yorkshire-pudding tin, pour in the batter, and bake it in a moderate oven for 20 mins.
  3. Let it cool, spread one half of the cake with a layer of nice preserve, place over it the other half of the cake, press the pieces slightly together, and then cut it into long finger-pieces. Pile them in cross bars on a glass dish, and serve.
