This classic version is made with good-quality beef stock, caramelised onions and topped with oozing Gruyère cheese toasts. Gruyère is the key to getting the bubbling crust because it’s rich, smooth and melts easily, but you can also use blue cheese, Comte or aged Cheddar. Sometimes I add a splash of sherry or a cup of stout to the stock – both bring wonderful and very different flavours. It really is the perfect soup supper – rich in flavour, warming and utterly delicious.

Potato dumplings are a fantastic way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. You can also make these with sweet potatoes or add different cheeses to the mix. The dumplings have great texture—soft on the inside like little pillows and crispy on the outside. The sage butter is something I learned when living in Italy and is so delicious with these cheese dumplings or with egg tagliolini.
