These baby marrow fritters are golden brown, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside delights.

Grate it, salt it, squeeze out the water, and mix it into a batter with onion, parsley and egg. We fry ours in Wilson's Garlic Flavoured Oil, so the garlic flavour is already in the pan before the batter even hits it.

Golden, crisp at the edges, and gone from the plate faster than they came off the pan. A dollop of plain yoghurt and a squeeze of lemon is all they need.

Spring has sprung, but that does not change much about the weather just yet. It does change what's in the shops. Asparagus turns up bundled and cheap, and that's really all the excuse this salad needs.

Soft-boiled eggs, blanched asparagus and butter lettuce, all dressed with a lemon, honey and balsamic vinaigrette made with Wilson's Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The oil carries the sharpness of the lemon without turning bitter, which is exactly what a good dressing needs.

It comes together in under half an hour and eats well on its own for lunch, or alongside grilled fish for something more filling.

One tray, Fish Traybake takes hake and bakes it over a punchy sauce of tomato, olives and garlic, all built in the same pan.

The whole thing gets a good glug of Wilson's Peri-Peri Flavoured Oil stirred through the sauce, so the heat builds evenly instead of hitting in one sharp burst.

Straight from the tray to the table with a hunk of bread for mopping up the sauce. Proper Thursday-night cooking, minimal washing up included.

Lentil Soup, quick and simple!

A handful of vegetables, a bag of split red lentils, and whatever dried herbs are already in the cupboard.

We finish ours with a generous glug of Wilson's Basil Flavoured Oil stirred through right at the end, so the herb sits on top of the bowl instead of getting lost in the pot.

Torn bread, a big spoon, and not much else needed. This one's stayed in heavy rotation on our stove all winter.

There's a right way and a wrong way to get proper crispy Roast Potatoes, and it comes down to two things: parboiling them until the edges just start to break down, then giving them a hard shake in the colander before they go anywhere near the oil.

We roast ours in a hot bath of Wilson's Extra Virgin Olive Oil instead of butter. The oil takes the heat of a screaming hot tray without burning, so every rough edge gets properly golden and shatters under a fork.

Get a roast chicken going, or just make a big tray of these on their own with a bowl of mayo for dipping. Either way, get them to the table quickly, that crunch doesn't hang around for long.

Everyone's family seems to have a chicken pie recipe, and nobody ever agrees on the details. Top crust only or all the way round, this filling or that one, it doesn't really matter. What matters is a pastry that's properly short and a filling that's rich enough to justify it.

We've built ours with shredded chicken, leek, pancetta and mushroom in a simple creamy sauce, under a crumbly pastry made with cold butter and Wilson's Butter Flavoured Oil. It's what gives the lid that short, flaky bite instead of something dense and tough.

Serve it with buttery mash and green beans, or just a salad if you want something lighter alongside. Proper winter comfort food, the kind that makes a Sunday feel a little slower.

Coq au vin started as a way to turn a tough old rooster into something worth eating, braised low and slow in red wine until the meat falls off the bone.

That's still exactly what it is today, just with a bit less rooster and a lot more midweek convenience. We brown the chicken first in Wilson's Butter Flavoured Oil, which gets the pan hot enough for a proper sear without the burning you get from real butter.

Bacon, onions, garlic and mushrooms go in next, then the wine and stock, and from there it's just time doing the work.

An hour and a half later you've got a pot of deeply flavoured, fall-apart chicken in a rich red wine sauce. Serve it over mashed potatoes with some crusty bread on the side for mopping up the last of it.
