    Such an elegant dish must take hours to make, right? Wrong! This fillet in red wine takes 10 minutes and is bursting with flavour and elegance. This is a classic Venetian way of preparing fillet – the secret is the quality of the meat and red wine. Patata Anna would make the perfect side dish. Recipe by Omar Scarabello  Photograph by Curtis Gallon

For something that looks so elegant, it’s surprisingly easy to make. Serve it as impressive finale at a dinner party. Recipe by Sarah Dall
