What's bonfire night without a chilli? It's such a classic that is so easy to make and dish up! James Wythe's vegan black bean version is so tasty, it doesn't skimp on flavour that's for sure. Served up with sweet potatoes, it's the perfect winter warmer. This recipe is great on value too with an estimated cost per serving of £1.88, what's not to love?

Slow cookers are brilliant when you have guests over, you can embrace the self-serve style with minimal fuss and faff. This slow cooker beef and guinness stew by Dean Edwards is the top tier of comfort food. the addition of guinness injects a deep, rich taste that compliments the succulent beef, melting in your mouth with every spoonful. You can serve this up with buttery mash potato or you could turn it into a pie, whatever suits you!
