Editor’s note: Norma Bidwell was The Spectator’s beloved food columnist for more than half a century, signing off her popular Stoveline column in 2006 at the age of 91. With rising grocery costs and global turmoil, now seems a perfect time to revive her recipes for simple, comfort foods for you to enjoy.

Home cooking has never been so top of mind. From easy salads and comfort food to share.

We’ve got some of the best recipes, picked from The Spectator’s Stoveline archives, to help everyone with that time-honoured daily thrill of cooking.
