When ‘ just saying no’ is a wise move

THE (BRUNCH) TEST KITCHEN
Essential know-how to take your brunch dishes to the next level
YOUR RECIPE INSPIRATION
Pasta bakes
Every cook needs a few of these in their repertoire. They’re easy, they please a hungry crowd, they use a handful of mainly storecupboard ingredients and the flavour combinations are endless. The golden rules? Plenty of sauce, so the bake doesn’t dry out in the oven – oh, and a crunchy topping. Try these for size

Restaurateur Thomasina Miers grew up watching her mum cook, and here they’ve created a British menu with the addition of a few far-flung flavours. It’s perfect for Easter, Mothering Sunday or any time when you have a gathering of the clans
“JUST LIKE MAMAN USED TO MAKE”
“ This dish epitomises good home cooking. Shoulder
THE SHOWSTOPPING MEAT-FREE MAIN
This recipe has been developed with a traditional, luxurious beef wellington in mind. It makes a stunning centrepiece – and we promise there’s no skimping on flavour. The cauliflower is covered in a layer of flavourful, creamy mushroom pâté and gets a grating of cheddar before being wrapped up in a pastry coat that bakes to a golden cheese-topped crust… Need we say more?
Mary Berry’s foolproof lamb
Make the most of sweet new-season spring lamb with Mary’s crowd-pleasing one- pot dish – just add some greens and that’s one bank holiday meal sorted
BANOFFEE PIE

How to make an Easter wreath
If you want to re-create the beautiful wreath on p37, here’s how to do it… Depending on the weather and type of flowers used, it should last a few days (you may need to replace the main flowers).
