Americans sure know how to make a good breakfast and this recipe for French toast is a real treat. Brioche loaf slices are dunked in an egg, maple syrup and milk mixture before being fried until golden and topped with crisp streaky bacon.
The batter for these fluffy Russian buttermilk blinis can be made in advance, so come morning all you have to do is fry them up with the eggs and bacon. Think of them as mini savoury pancakes, a breakfast of champions to get the weekend off to a great start.
Bacon and avocado are one of the best double acts in food and they're combined beautifully in this salad. Parmesan croutons add crunch (an excellent way of using up ciabatta bread, too) and are so much easier to make than you might think.
Sometimes a warm salad is in order and this recipe with watercress, roasted tomatoes, crispy bacon, tangy feta and pine nuts will pack your bowls with flavour.
A great tasting comfort meal that takes just quarter of an hour to make
This French casserole is an all-time classic with beef cooked in red wine, rich stock, garlic and herbs for a one-pot dish that renders an amazing depth of flavour every time. All you have to do is combine the ingredients in a covered dish then wait until it's done.
