Do you flick through cookbooks and ignore all the recipes which have more than 5 or 6 ingredients? Me too, which is why I have collected these easy family recipes below, to whip up for any social gathering or to give as gifts. Many of the ingredients can be found in your pantry already. Why don't you try one this weekend?
