Vera's Eggplant Parm is a cherished family recipe that showcases the best of seasonal produce. To start, she selects the finest aubergines, slicing them into thick rounds and salting them to draw out any bitterness. After a brief rest, she rinses and dries the slices, ready for the oven.

Next comes a hearty homemade tomato sauce, simmered to perfection with garlic, basil, and a hint of oregano. Layering is key: a generous spoonful of sauce forms the base, followed by the aubergine slices, a sprinkle of grated Parmesan, and a smattering of mozzarella for that lovely stretch.

As she constructs each layer, Vera often reminisces about sunny family gatherings, where this dish would always take centre stage. Once assembled, the dish is covered with foil and baked until bubbling and golden. There's nothing quite like the aroma of her Eggplant Parm, wafting through the house, inviting all to the table for a comforting, vegetarian feast.

Indulge in the succulent delight of a Delicious Air Fryer Roast Beef, a dish that is not only quick to prepare but also bursting with flavour. Start by selecting a quality joint of beef, ideally a cut such as sirloin or ribeye. Season generously with salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and your favourite herbs—rosemary and thyme work wonderfully.

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (390°F). While it warms up, let your beef come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Once ready, rub a thin layer of olive oil over the meat, ensuring the seasoning adheres beautifully. Place the beef in the air fryer basket and cook for approximately 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through for an even roast.

For a perfect medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of about 57°C (135°F). Allow the roast to rest for 10 minutes after cooking, letting the juices redistribute for maximum tenderness. Slice and serve with Yorkshire pudding, creamy mashed potatoes, and a rich gravy for a quintessential British feast that’s effortlessly enhanced by the air fryer’s magic. Enjoy your culinary creation with family and friends—it's bound to become a favourite at the dinner table!
