Smoked salmon souffle

Smoked salmon souffle

These non-scary souffles are baked ahead, then reheated in the oven just before serving. They don't rise as high as traditional ones, but are beautifully light - perfect when you're looking for a starter that won't be too filling

Cheese and bacon lasagne

Cheese and bacon lasagne

This recipe comes courtesy of my friend Jean, who has made mince-free lasagne for years. It's delicious, doesn't cost the earth and has a wonderful comfort-food feel about it. Serve it with salad and garlic bread for an instant family favourite

This elegant dessert is easy to make, and will slice straight from the freezer. If you're really pushed for time, freeze the chocolate curls ahead as well
