Five-Spice BBQ Pork Chops

Fabulously aromatic, this sweet-savoury marinade is perfect for succulent pork chops, barbecued on the bone. For contrast and crunch, we’ve paired the chops with a light, cucumber-based side dish that lies somewhere between a salad and quick, fresh pickle. Serves 4.

Yamza Pasta Arrabiata

Meaning ‘angry’ in Italian (thanks Duolingo) this arrabiata will leave you anything but!

HATARI Sparkly Roasted Side of Salmon

This recipe combines the lovely sparkly flavour of the HATARI Mellow Aji Mash with citrussy lemon and umami soy to make an incredibly morish meal! You can wrap in foil and pop on the BBQ as an alternative to baking in the oven! Prep: 10 mins. Cook: 25 mins. Heat Level: Mild

Greendale's Devon Blue Beef Burger

The Devonian theme burger with crumbly Devon Blue Cheese and prime Greendale Beef Steak Burgers.

Grilled Cabbage

We urge anybody who doesn’t like cabbage to try cooking it this way – roasting brassicas at high temperature brings out wonderful sweetness and a flavour that’s worlds away from soggy boiled greens. This recipe will work for any green cabbage (Savoy, Sweetheart or January King, for example), as well as brussels sprouts, cauliflower and broccoli – just lower the cooking times for smaller veg. Serves 4 as a side vegetable.

Quick King Prawns with Chilli, Lemon & Ginger

Get everything prepped before you start, and this tasty recipe will be the work of moments. Don’t forget the pan juices – they’re delicious! Serves 2 as a starter.

BBQ Miso and Honey Glaze Aubergine Recipe

Sticky-sweet umami aubergine tastes great when cooked on the BBQ or under the grill! Serves 2 as a main dish or 4 as a side.

Devon Blue, Walnut & Nectarine Salad

Summer calls for a more relaxed way of cooking and eating, and this recipe is pretty flexible. You can tweak the dressing; substitute peaches, ripe pears or even figs for the nectarines; use any salad leaves and blue cheese you like (or choose goat’s cheese or feta); and swap the walnuts for toasted hazelnuts or almonds. As long as you have sweet, ripe fruit, full-flavoured cheese and some crunchy nuts for texture, it’ll work beautifully. Serves 2 generously.

Beetroot and Chocolate Brownies

These gorgeous Brownies owe their ‘squidge’ to a special ingredient – Beetroot!

Garlic Mushrooms Recipe

Quick to make, this indulgent-tasting and delicious dish makes a lovely (and easy) supper with some crusty bread and a few salad leaves – it’s also a good side vegetable for roast beef or pork. For a dairy-free version, use soya, oat or almond cream instead of the double cream. Serves 1-2.

Garlic Bread and Camembert To Share

This gorgeous combo of garlic bread and oozy, melty camembert cheese was made for sharing with friends and family; just hand round the napkins, abandon all pretence of politeness and get stuck in! If you use a camembert made without animal rennet (see below), this is a vegetarian recipe. Serves 4-6 as a starter.

Cream-Tea Cake Recipe

This summery recipe swaps Victoria Sponge for scones, and combines several of our favourite things; home-made cake, fresh strawberries and proper Devon clotted cream. Best kept refrigerated and eaten within 1-2 days of baking. Serves 6-8.

Balsamic BBQ Pork Baguette

Quick, easy and properly tasty – serve with grilled veg of your choice for a brilliant BBQ meal (we like asparagus spears and garlicky sweetcorn cobs). Serves 4.

Flour-Free Chocolate Cake Recipe

Somewhere between a cake and a pudding, this super-squidgy chocolate creation is made without any flour. We’ve topped it with fresh raspberries and a dusting of icing sugar, but you could decorate it with small colourful eggs or favourite sweets for an Easter treat! Makes 10-12 servings.

Strawberry Shortbread Recipe

Buttery shortbread biscuits, vanilla-scented cream and perfectly ripe strawberries make for a summery teatime treat that’s hard to beat. Serves 2.

Westcountry Four Cheeses Pizza Recipe

Four-Cheese Pizzas can be made as ‘rossa’ (or ‘red’, with a tomato base) or ‘bianca’ (‘white’, with no tomato and just the cheese). Typically, they feature a strongly flavoured blue cheese, like gorgonzola, soft cheeses (mozzarella and fontina), and a harder cheese (parmesan), to finish. Our version recreates the original with favourite flavours from best-loved Westcountry cheeses.

Scallops & Bacon Pizza

Try our mouthwatering scallop and bacon pizza. Two of our all-time favourite ingredients, on a pizza – deliziosa!

Easy Tray-Bake Sponge Cake

With a bit of adult help, mini-bakers can cook up a sweet Mother’s Day Treat with this simple sponge-cake recipe. As well as the basic cake mix, we’ve suggested some flavour variations and a couple of icing ideas – feel free to tweak them as much as you like, and make a special, one-off cake for your special, one-off mum! Makes one large tray-bake, which you can cut into large or small squares.

Cottage Pie Recipe

Comfort food at its delicious, savoury best! Cottage Pie freezes well, so you could make two and pop one in the freezer for an easy meal at a later date.

Puff Pastry Tart with Vegetables & Feta

This recipe uses ready-made puff pastry to help keep things simple. It’ll make one very large tart; if you don’t eat it all, leftovers can be refrigerated for the next day. Serves 2-4.

Simple Barbecued Asparagus Recipe

While British asparagus is still available, there’s no nicer way to enjoy it than grilled quickly over coals and finishing with a quick, simple dressing – the spears turn a beautiful bright green in the heat, and the charcoal imparts smoky flavour and sweetness to each stem. Delicious! Serves 4 as a side dish.

Serrano Asparagus Twists Recipe

Perfect for buffets, finger food or even a spring picnic, these little twists look impressive but are pretty quick to make (and pretty delicious to eat, too!). Makes 40.

Summer Pudding Recipe

This recipe seems a bit daunting, but once you’ve got the hang of dipping the bread and lining the basin, it’s pretty straightforward. Make up the weight of fruit with any mixture of berries you like; raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, currants, cherries, blackberries and tayberries are all brilliant. You will need a 1.8 litre/3-pint pudding basin; for best results, begin the recipe the night before you plan to eat it. Serves 4-6.

Strawberry Salad

A simple, summery salad that’s the work of moments. Try it as part of a buffet-style spread, or serve with plenty of crusty bread for a light lunch. Serves 2-4.

Monkfish & Asparagus Risotto

Take comfort food to a new level with this luxurious risotto. It’s a fairly simple recipe that makes the most of its wonderful ingredients – a fair bit of stirring is involved, but the end result is well worth it! Serves 2

Mango, Tomato & Avocado Salad

Healthy and delicious, this quick, simple salad combines some surprising ingredients (mango with tomato sounds odd, but somehow it works). All the lovely juices from the tomatoes, mango and lime stop the avocado turning brown, so it looks amazing, too. We like to eat this with some simply grilled chicken breast fillets – it’s also a great accompaniment to oily fish, like Mackerel. Serves 2.

Chicken & Bacon Salad Recipe

This hearty salad is packed with delicious Greendale Free-Range Chicken Breast and Greendale Smoked Streaky Bacon. Serves 4

Blueberry & Feta Salad Recipe

Fruit and cheese are a match made in heaven. This recipe pairs salty, crumbly Feta cheese with the tangy sweetness of ripe, fresh blueberries and the earthiness of fresh spinach leaves, lifted by bright mint and the satisfying crunch of savoury toasted almonds. Feel free to experiment with different soft cheeses, berries, leaves or nuts – it’s pretty hard to go wrong! Serves 2-3 as a main meal, 4-6 as part of a selection of salads.

Raspberry Trifle with Limoncello

Trifle is a classic treat and (helpfully) always taste better when made in advance. This version uses ready-made ingredients for speed, but tastes like you’ve spent hours in the kitchen – we won’t tell if you don’t! Serves 8.

BBQ Aubergine & Chickpea Salad

Packed with soft, smoky grilled aubergine and plump chickpeas, this hearty salad illustrates that veggie barbecue recipes are anything but dull. Serves 2-4.

Asparagus with Poached Egg and Parmesan

An indulgent breakfast, a tasty brunch or a light midday meal, this simple recipe makes the most of delicious fresh asparagus. For a vegetarian version, choose a veggie-friendly parmesan (or other aged hard cheese), or just omit this ingredient – it’ll still taste wonderful. Serves 2.

White Fish (Hake) Curry Recipe

Sometimes nothing beats a good curry – and when you can make your own, why bother with takeaway? You can use any of our lovely locally-caught white fish in this recipe. Serves 4.

Curry-Spiced Fish Pie Recipe

Richly spiced mash, Greendale Fish Pie Mix and authentic curry flavours combine to create a fabulous ‘Frankenstein’ of a dish – it sounds wrong, but try it and you’ll see why we like it so much! Serves 4.

Brilliant Beef Curry Recipe

A long, slow cooking time allows diced beef to meld beautifully with the warmth and spice of this tasty curry. Served with rice, pickles and a cooling yoghurt and cucumber raita, we think it’s definitely a meal worth waiting for!

Salmon Curry

This speedy recipe makes a healthy and delicious dinner for cold nights. Made with rich salmon, fresh tomatoes and warming spices (but free from chilli), it’s a simple, family-friendly meal that’s good to have up your sleeve! Serve with Basmati rice. Serves 4.

Green Grill with Lemon Tahini Dressing Recipe

We’ve chosen some of our favourite greens here, but feel free to mix it up (thickly sliced fennel bulbs are another tasty option). The dressing adds a little extra nutritional ‘oomph’, as well as great flavour, but if you’re not a fan of tahini you could just dress the veg with oil and lemon juice – it’ll still taste delicious. Serves 4.
