Fried rice

    Fried rice is a great dinner option that can be made to use up the vegetables you have in your fridge. Throw in a little meat and an egg and you have a complete meal. Cheap, quick and easy to make, fried rice is a popular family dinner.

      Caprese pizza

      This is a traditional Italian pizza that has just three toppings that are the same colours as the Italian flag. The flavours are simple and satisfying and it’s really easy to make.

        Chickpea dip

        I love this quick and cheap dip. It‰s great for adult and kids parties, perfect for a spread on sandwiches and even better when served with crunchy vegetable fingers.

          Sweet orange salad

          If your kids are 'allergic' to all green vegetables, then you'll love this salad. A little bit sweet, a little bit tangy, this sweet orange salad is the perfect match for a piece of barbecued meat.

            Quinoa salad

            This delicious ancient grain is pronounced keen-wah! You cook it using the absorption method and here it is served with fresh, crisp vegetables and topped with a creamy yoghurt dressing

              Banana smoothie

              A deliciously healthy way to start the day, this smoothie is full of bananas, honey, yoghurt with just a hint of cinnamon that makes it more-ish. It's breakfast in a glass and a great way to have a meal on the run.

                Open lasagne

                A variation on the traditional lasagne, this recipe incorporates eggplant and sweet potato with ricotta cheese. This is really quite easy to make, just roast the veggies early in the day and then assembling takes just a few minutes.

                  Roast vegetable soup

                  This roast vegetable soup is full of delicious root vegetables and garlic, slowly oven-baked to bring out the natural sugars and flavours. Serve it up with crusty bread and real butter for a deliciously satisfying meal.

                    Beer can chicken

                    Beer can chicken is moist and so easy to make at home. You can make it in a conventional oven or in a barbeque. Add herbs and spices or keep it simple and let the flavours of the chicken shine through.
