Classic recipes have become classics because they have stood the test of time. They are the dishes we make again and again because they can't be improved on. Creamy scrambled eggs for breakfast, garlic prawns, minestrone, blt sandwiches, spaghetti Bolognese, roast lamb, chocolate tart. They've been perfected over the years and are now everyone's favourite. Once you learn how to make a classic recipe you can adapt it to suit yourself and make it your own family classic.
