Transport yourself back to those family dinners with a hearty beef and veg filling and a cheesy mashed potato topping. Cottage pie is the ultimate savoury comfort food, so go on, treat yourself.
You'll understand the origins of the saying "easy as apple pie" after you make this delicious version of the old favourite. The satisfaction of knowing you made it from scratch will be surpassed only by the taste.
This easy dish requires a little bit of extra time to cook and marinade, so leave it for the weekend or days where you have extra time up your sleeve. The sweet and sticky ribs are worth all the effort, though.
If you pop the chicken in the marinade in the morning, this dish can be on the table in under 30 minutes. Chicken thigh fillets are better than the breast for this dish as the thigh meat is more tender and juicy.
A classic family favourite, this hearty and creamy potato and pancetta bake is beautiful served hot straight from the oven and is always a welcome side dish to a big dinner spread.
