Mum's Apple PIe, the stuff of dreams and childhood memories. I still find it hard not to be taken back to my early years when I get even the slightest scent of an  apple pie. I know you should never mess with a classic recipe, but this Apple and Lancashire Cheese pie is worth breaking the rules for just the once. The combination of sweet apples and the tang of the cheese combined together and wrapped in crumbly shorcrust pastry is nothing short of genius. A deep-dish pie filled with delicious apples and cheese can be served as a dessert or makes a super tea time treat. Don't forget the  custard . If you can't get Lancashire cheese, dont worry, try to use a crubly whote cheese to get the same result. Do not use waxy cheese, it simply will not work.

When I was a college student at UNC Chapel Hill, Time-Out Restaurant served these amazing sandwiches 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and I couldn't get enough. This is our version of those incredible sandwiches…just in time for National Biscuit—and National Chicken—Month! Of course,  nothing can beat the original , but I think we come pretty close. In America, we certainly do love our savory biscuits—they’re even an  urban legend ! But, if you order a biscuit in Europe, you wind up with  something very different . Keep things on the salty side by trying some new additions to your dough. Enjoy extra cheese? Mix in shredded cheddar before baking for twice the melty goodness. Fresh or dried herbs can also liven up your basic biscuit. Of course, there are always some  more exotic choices , as well. Cook’s Note: Depending on how and where you grew up, everyone has a preference when it comes to biscuits. If you prefer a softer biscuit, make sure the biscuits touch in th...

I love the temperature contrast in this super simple recipe; serve it quickly! Most recipes for this type of pasta don't add cheese; I think just a little bit really brings the flavors together. And don't omit the lemon juice. You don't really know it's there; it just brightens up all the flavors. Use the leftovers (if any) to make Tomato Pasta Frittata . Yum.

The one thing we recommend you  don't do is join a Christmas hamper club where your money is not safeguarded (remember the Farepack fiasco in 2006?) Have a look at these alternatives and you could have Christmas wrapped-up by November: Do some Christmas shopping now Shop prices tend to go up and up the nearer we get to Christmas and with so many people beyond just immediate family and friends to consider, it's handy to look out for any special offers, sales and BOGOFs (that's buy-one-get-one-frees) as early as you can. You could end up saving yourself lots of money, plus you can feel smug amongst the stressed-out shoppers in December because you'll have most of your shopping out of the way. Keep an eye out for gifts throughout the year - as well as the big seasonal sales, plenty of stores now have smaller sales throughout the year in an effort to boost flagging profit margins. That 'perfect present' you think is unaffordable might be m...
