Here are 20 indulgent recipes made for the perfect weekend feast.

1. Harissa-spiced lamb tacos

Add a little heat to your Saturday night with these crispy loaded taco shells, filled with lamb, a punchy dose of harissa and tangy feta cheese.

Some like their pizzas thin and crispy while others prefer a fluffy and thick base. If you’re more of a fan of the latter, then this recipe is for you. Loaded with cheese, jalapeños and salami, this American classic proves that sometimes, more really is more.

3. Beer-batterd fish and triple-cooked chips

Your evening is about to triple in fun and flavour with this classic combo: beer-battered fish and triple-cooked chips. Who needs the seaside when you can devour this within the comfort of your own home?

4. Chicken katsu curry

Is a katsu curry calling your name? Resist the urge to ‘Deliveroo’ your dinner and have a go at making your own. Our version of this popular Japanese dish is crispy, crunchy and drowned in a sweet curry sauce. You can thank us later.

5. Pizza bianca

Ramp up your evening with this gorgeous pizza Bianca (a white-based pizza) topped with goat’s cheese, courgettes and black olives.

6. Prawn and cucumber squares (oshi sushi) 

Sushi = a strong Saturday mood. Invite family or some pals over to make them from scratch; this makes a fun weekend activity and dinner will taste extra satisfying knowing you made it yourself. Soaking in soy sauce is optional but highly recommended.
