A simple, speedy canape? that uses up leftovers and is ideal for a Boxing Day get-together

There's little more comforting than a homemade macaroni cheese. This version includes 1 of your 5-a-day, as well as a hint of sage.

In this simple recipe, the cabbage is braised in blackcurrant cordial to add intense fruitiness and colour. Serve it with sausages as a change from onion marmalade – can be made ahead and is easy to scale up to feed-a-crowd

Great for using up leftovers from Christmas dinner. If you don’t fancy turkey, use chicken instead.

An easy alternative to mince pies. For a festive presentation, pile the squares on a cake stand and top with holly and a snowy dusting of icing sugar.

Simple and delicious, this low-fat curry is full of good-for-you ingredients, including lean lamb, prebiotic onions and fibre-rich lentils
