Tomato pastas
Anelli alla vodka (vodka spaghetti hoops)
This is spaghetti hoops – but for grown-ups! Far superior to the sickly-sweet tinned stuff, this is a twist on the penne alla vodka popular in Italian-American restaurants.
Frittatas
Artichoke and crisp frittata
Crisps in a frittata? It really does work. We’ve added creamy artichokes and a zingy side salad to cut through the richness.
Pork chops
Pork chops with preserved-lemon butter beans
Preserved lemon gives the classic combo of pork chops and beans a hit of tart, salty umami. A low-fuss, high-flavour weeknight dinner.
One-pot chicken
Braised chicken with kefir, orzo and dried limes
An easy chicken dinner with big flavour. Tender braised chicken and toothsome orzo mingle in a tangy kefir sauce in this elegant one-pot.
Halloumi
Potato tagine with baked halloumi
This North African-inspired potato tagine includes golden halloumi, preserved lemon and olives. A winning weeknight vegetarian dinner.
Venison
Spiced venison naan with pineapple salsa
Chilli, lime and coriander pep up this pineapple salsa, which works wonderfully with the spice-marinated venison steaks and grilled naan.
Pork chops
Pork chops with bean pureé, sprouts and apples
This new take on the classic combo of pork chops with apple and sage is ready in just 30 minutes – but tastes like it took so much longer.
Mussels
Tamarind and coconut mussels with rice
Tangy tamarind, warming ginger and subtly chilli-infused coconut milk create a vibrant broth to cook mussels in.
Easy orzo
Chicken and chicory orzo
Combine crispy chicken and orzo with caramelised chicory for an easy midweek dinner you'll return to again and again in the winter months.
Midweek meals
Herby haddock with salt and vinegar mash and curry mayo
This quick dinner has serious chip shop vibes. The mash tastes like a perfect bag of chips with vinegar, and the curry mayo echoes curry sauce.
Turkey
Turkey schnitzel with cranberry ketchup
Dish up golden turkey schnitzels with old-school Russian salad and a tangy cranberry ketchup for an easy midweek dinner with a festive spin.
Sweet potatoes
Loaded sweet potatoes with sardines and cheese
Melt-in-the-mouth, buttery sweet potato pairs so well with sardines and zingy guacamole in this easy loaded sweet potatoes recipe.
Lentils
Parsnip, carrot and red lentil dal
Sweet carrot and parsnip give a twist on coconut dal in this simple vegan supper. Add thin slivers of veg to the tarka for a crispy topping.
Recipes with kimchi
Kimchi chicken noodle bowl
This noodle recipe isn't authentic, but spicy kimchi works well with cream cheese to make a smooth sauce, served with grilled chicken.
Easy orzo
Porcini orzotto
Lighter than regular risotto, this easy ‘orzotto’ switches out rice for orzo pasta and uses dried porcini for intense flavour.
