Bread and Butter Pudding
Slices of buttered bread layer in a baking dish with raisins and lemon zest. A custard of egg yolks, milk, cream, sugar and vanilla pours over and soaks in. Demerara sugar scatters on top for the crunch. Baked in a water bath until just set; the top crisps to dark gold.
Desserts
Buttered Red Cabbage
Onion is softened in butter; red cabbage joins along with sliced apple, brown sugar, red wine vinegar, a touch of red wine, cinnamon and cloves. Slow-cooked covered for an hour until the cabbage is silky and the liquid has reduced into a glossy glaze.
Sides
Buttery Mashed Potatoes
Maris Piper potatoes peel and chunk, boil in well-salted water until very tender, drain, return to the hot pan to steam off any moisture. Pass through a ricer or food mill into a clean pan. Cold butter cubes whisk in first; warm milk loosens to the right consistency; salt to taste.
Sides
Champ
Spring onions infuse hot milk for 10 minutes off the heat. Floury potatoes boil and dry; everything mashes together with a generous amount of butter. The classic finish: a hollow scooped out of the centre of the mound on each plate, filled with melting butter.
Irish
Colcannon
Floury potatoes boil; cabbage or kale wilts in butter with spring onions; the lot is mashed with hot milk and lots of butter. The cabbage softens but keeps a little texture; the mash should be smooth, with green flecks throughout.

Sticky Toffee Pudding
Dates are soaked in boiling water with bicarbonate of soda (which softens them and gives the sponge its dark colour). The dates are blended smooth, mixed into a butter-sugar-egg-flour batter, and baked. While it bakes, a toffee sauce is built: butter, brown sugar and cream simmered to glossy. Holes are poked in the warm pudding; the sauce is poured over.
