Classic roast chicken

If you nail just one roast, make it a roasted chook. Versatile, always a hit and economical too, it's a dish that transcends time. There's an art to ensuring the skin is crispy and the meat is beautifully tender. The trick? Regular basting during cooking and resting the meat, once cooked.

New York cheesecake

When it comes to cheesecake, we prefer to stick to the classics. This is the original, and still the best version of this gooey dessert.

Perfect potato salad

Nothing says 'summer barbecue' quite like a potato salad. It's pretty hard to go wrong with burgers, sausages and skewers, but potato salad can take a little perfecting. It's all about the homemade mayonnaise (very easy; only four ingredients!) and the perfect garnishes in parsley, dill, mint and spring onions.

Classic scones

Tea time gets a whole lot more delicious when scones are part of the equation. They're not as hard to make as people think either; the secret to success lies in the temperature of your ingredients. Cold milk and butter work best so chill them before mixing together for the ultimate after tea delight.

Quick grilled nachos

Perfect for those 'it's been a long day' days when you don't have the time or energy for anything fancy, but still want to put a smile on everyone's face. Nachos make a great midweek dinner or home movie snack and, the best bit is, they only take 10 minutes to cook so you can whip them up for surprise visitors too. These are vegetarian, but you can easily add meat to the mix, too.

Marshmallow pavlova

With a cloud-like, marshmallowy centre, this pavlova is the stuff dreams are made of. Serve with lashings of whipped cream, and fresh berries.

Sausage rolls

The perennial party favourite! Sausage rolls taste so much better homemade, so what are you waiting for? From start to finish, you'll need 10 ingredients and you can decide whether to make hearty portions, like the ones pictured, or smaller party-sized ones. Whatever you decide, serve with tomato sauce (obviously).
