What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

This was the album that brought us glorious singles like "Can't get you out of my head" and "Love at first sight". It has been retrospectively declared the greatest album of Kylie's career.

Usually when I make curry, it's done with chicken (occasionally with beef). But tonight's one uses fish. A refreshing change.

M'hanncha is a Moroccan dish which means "snake". It's easy to see why. Filo pastry stuffed with grains, spices, vegetables and dried fruits. Served with a spicy tomato sauce.

Today's lunch is a classic Christmas Day starter (or appertiser) in the UK. It's a prawn cocktail.

Whilst rummaging through the cupboards, I found some leftover Christmas pudding from last year. Also decided to get the Christmas crockery out.

As many of you know, I like to focus on a different cookery book each month. This month's book is - maybe predictably - a Christmas one.

A Sunday sweet treat. Chocolate and hazelnut tart. Like Nutella, only naughtier!

Lamb osso buco, served with parsley tagliatelle. This is one of those dishes that probably sounds more complicated than it actually is.

Lunch today was a root vegetable soup. Made with onion, swede, carrot and parsnip. Very wintery.

Dark brown beers give an extraordinary depth to any slow cooked mear dish. Sausages braised in beer, with buttery mash, vegetables, and onion gravy.

A simple pasta dish tonight of rib ragout with tagliatelle. But simple doesn't have to mean quick. It can be something left to cook for a long time over a low heat, quietly puttering away.

The Christmas cake is out of the oven! Now time to wrap it up, put it under the spare bed, and "feed it" once a week.

Mushrooms are another autumn favourite of mine. Their earthy, woodsy flavour seems perfect as the days get colder and there are leaves underfoot.
Mushroom carbonara with linguine.
