I remember years ago that a friend was amazed I made a roast chicken “from scratch” and didn’t buy a rotisserie chook from the supermarket. Don’t get me wrong, I love supermarket roast chicken but it’s a totally different entity to roasting your own. Roasting a chicken for dinner is the easiest meal you can have. And this basic roast chicken recipe proves it. After just ten minutes prep you can stand back and let the oven work its magic. It doesn’t get much easier. Most roast chicken recipes ask you to cook the chicken at 180 degrees for about 1 hour and 20 minutes. This one requires you to cook at 220 degrees for 1 hour. This higher heat means the skin gets super crispy and the lowered cooking time means the flesh stays super moist. Also, placing it on a rack rather than directly on the roasting pan means the air can circulate allowing for even cooking.
Have a yearning for a proper sponge cake? One that is light as a feather, yet sturdy enough to hold juicy berries and fluffy whipped cream? One that would get the tick of approval from the CWA? Well, here it is. The term ‘sponge’ covers a variety of cakes, all belonging to a group known as foam cakes (meaning they rely on whipped eggs for structure). Our favourite sponge recipe is technically a Genoise sponge. Though they’re thought to be one of the trickier cakes to master, our foolproof sponge recipe will see you churning out these beauties at a rate of knots! The secret to our Genoise sponge recipe is that we use three types of flour. The cornflour and plain flour provide stability, while the self-raising flour guarantees height. This Genoise sponge recipe is super versatile. It can be layered with ganache or cream, chopped and used in a trifle or used in a bombe Alaska. The other great thing? Our Genoise sponge freezes well for up to a month, which makes it perfect for getting ahead on baking projects. Feeling fancy? Try out our chocolate sponge cake with honey, caramel, mascarpone and figs next.Additional recipe notes by Alison Adams - Food Writer and Recipe Tester
When done right, a beef burger is food for the soul, but so often the burger you order can be a massive disappointment: dense bread with a dry patty, limp lettuce and not nearly enough sauce. Take all the guesswork out of the equation and start making your own burgers at home. This is our fail-proof beef burger recipeWith this foolproof recipe we give you all the tips and tricks to creating mouth-wateringly good beef burgers every time. Lightly toasted buns are spread with piquant American mustard that anchors the lettuce and tomato, ready to be topped with a perfectly seasoned, juicy beef patty, covered with tangy cheddar cheese. The genius trick in this beef burger recipe is that the onion is grated, rather than chopped, before being added to the mince. The juice from the onion both seasons the mince while adding moisture. This prevents the burger drying out. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or weekend barbecue, this basic beef burger recipe proves that true greatness often lies in simplicity. Want a beef burger but want to make it a little bit healthier? Our low-fat healthier cheeseburger has less fat and more fibre than the regular version, but it’s still big on flavour. We’ve also got loads more burger recipe ideas, so you can find the burger for you – whether it’s gourmet or basic, and for meat lovers or vegetarians.Additional recipe notes by Alison Adams - Food Writer and Recipe Tester
