Since you never know when you might be in urgent need of a crumble, I make up enough topping for at least 4 of these and let it sit safely in the freezer until required. Sprinkle it over your fruit of choice as it is, and cook from frozen. Sounds easy, doesn

This is more familiarly known as Chopped Salad in my house, one which is very far from that American classic, but — at least in its starting point — rather more Lebanese in style. I

Known as chip gratin in my house, this is the most fabulous potato bake, and an indispensable part of Christmas celebrations in Sweden: the potatoes are cut as if you were making French fries, then layered up in a dish with onions that you’ve cooked in butter until soft, along with a couple of tins of Swedish ansjovis, with cream and milk (or all cream, if you prefer) before being topped with breadcrumbs (although I must admit I forgot to add them for this photograph!) and butter, and baked. As for these ansjovis, these are not — as you might think — anchovies, but sprats that come in a spicy, sweet brine, which give them a light pickled flavour. If you can’t get hold of them, then you can best replace them by chopping up a couple of pickled herrings. I should also tell you that for my fishphobic family, I simply forgo this element, and stir three tablespoons of grated parmesan into the cream and milk instead. I wouldn’t dare serve it like this to a Swede, but I can vouch for its (inauthentic) deliciousness this way. But if you can get hold of the Swedish ansjovis, do; you can find them online or at some Ikea branches.

A roast chicken always feels celebratory; indeed, a roast chicken always is celebratory. The vibrantly coloured and intensely flavoured vegetables that are cooked alongside here seem only to underline this, offering their own brightness and brio, sunny in taste as well as mood.
