Long and lazy winter days are the perfect times to enjoy some indulgent home cooked meals and for James those are a perfect chicken and mushroom puff pastry pie and some slow cooked spare ribs.

There's a culinary twist on some of our favourite Mid Week Suppers today as James creates his own Toad in the Hole with Onion gravy and shows how simple it is to create a delicious blackberry and apple Millefeuille out of homemade puff pastry.

In today's programme James cooks his favourite winter warmers including jacket potato skins hot from his own patio pizza oven and a chocolate and clementine steamed pudding.
