      Macaroni cheese

      There's nothing simpler to make - or more comforting to eat - than macaroni cheese. Serve on its own for an easy Sunday dinner or as a side dish with a barbecue and a fresh green salad.

        French omelette

        A fast simple meal for a hungry person. This omelette takes less than 5 minutes to prepare and cook and you will be sitting down in no time. Add a little ham on the side or a salad and you have a lovely light meal. French omelettes take a little practice but it's a skill worth learning.

          Beef stroganoff

          Beef stroganoff is a traditional family favourite. Lean beef, onions and button mushrooms give this meal a full-bodied flavour that is rounded out with sour cream. Serve it with rice or fettucine for a complete meal.

            Roasted ratatouille

            This roasted ratatouille is packed full of flavour. Somehow when you bake, rather than cook it in a saucepan, the flavours become more intense and the whole thing much more exciting. This version has some added fill-factor thanks to the chickpeas.
