Spiced Chicken with Avo ‘Hummus’
‘Things on hummus’ is one of my favourite go-to meals.
Strawberry Ripple Cheesecake
It’s hard to go past a good cheesecake. These little individual ones are super quick to make and best of all don’t leave you with a heap of tempting leftovers. Mascarpone is a delicious Italian cream cheese. If you can’t find it see the ‘variations’ for alternatives.
Easy Edamame Bowl
I felt like all my Christmases had come at once when I discovered my supermarket sold frozen edamame. Before then I’d only ever had these delicious fresh soy beans in Japanese restaurants. But then a whole world of possibility opened up for me.
Plan-B Pesto Beans
My latest favourite pantry ingredient is easily frozen baby beans.
Middle Eastern Chicken & Broccoli Magic Meal
I shamelessly stole this idea. Yep this delicious Middle Eastern Chicken & Broccoli Magic Meal did not come from my brain.
Chicken & Cashew Nut Stir Fry
This is one of my all-time favourite stir frys. I just love how the chicken, broccoli and cashews come together to make a super tasty meal in a bowl.
The Worlds EASIEST Apricot & Almond Cheesecake
It’s in my enthusiastic nature to speak in hyperbole. But in the case of this cheesecake idea the hype is totally justified.
Egg Fried Quinoa
Quinoa may not be a hot new grain anymore but it’s still a fun alternative to boring old rice. I do love the chewy texture and the cute little ‘tails’.
Chicken Satay Curry
Normally satay is a peanut based spicy sauce served alongside grilled meat and veg. It's super delicious but I often miss having a curry sauce. So this version, while not exactly authentic, it does give you spicy pea nutty goodness with loads of sauce!
Beautiful Beet ‘Pesto’
I’ve been making beetroot ‘pesto’ for years. A brilliant idea where you use cooked beetroot instead of basil that I picked up years ago. While I don’t mind tinned beetroot, I do prefer the fresh earthiness enough to roast it myself, which would blow the 10 minute limit.
Mexican Meatballs
Don’t you just love meatballs? I make them at least once every 2 weeks (sometimes more) so I’m always playing around with new flavour combos to add excitement to the humble meatball.
Surprise Chicken & Broccoli Bake
My friend Kate used to tell a story about her sister working in a pub in England and was put in charge of cooking even though she had zero restaurant experience. One day she put ‘Tuna Surprise’ on the menu. And the surprise was that the pasta dish didn’t actually contain any tuna.
Weirdly Delicious Lunch
I was tempted to call this recipe ‘How to make tofu taste addictive’ because it certainly delivers on that unlikely promise.
Home ‘Baked’ Chickpeas
Have you ever pause to ask yourself why there are multiple options of canned baked beans in the supermarket but there aren’t any flavoured canned chickpea products?
Addictive Soy & Sesame Bowl
Full disclosure: I crowd sourced the idea for this recipe.
Creamy Chocolate Hazelnut Pudding 2-Ingredients
This recipe should come with a warning! Because it’s so incredibly quick and easy BUT (and here’s the dangerous part) luxuriously delicious. Yes this 2-Ingredient Creamy Chocolate Hazelnut Pudding is that good.
Vietnamese Beef Salad
This is one of my go-to dinners when I’m looking for something fast and fresh. I just love the combo of lime juice and fish sauce for bringing boring old steak to life.
3-Ingredient Creamy Chicken and Spinach (worlds easiest cream sauce)
Is this the easiest cream sauce in the whole world? Absolutely! Just get some double cream, stir in a little salt and you have the perfect accompaniment for this Creamy Chicken and Spinach.
Addictive Crispy Chilli Cucumber Bowl
I used to think cucumber was boring UNTIL I had a bumper crop this Summer. After coming up with creative ways to eat cucumber for weeks, I discovered that this humble veg is actually a textural powerhouse. All it needs is some umami and heat to bring it to life like in this Crispy Chilli Cucumber Bowl.
The World's EASIEST Berry Sorbet
I tend to keep a packet of frozen berries in the freezer for when I need a quick dessert. This berry sorbet is wonderfully simple – just whizz the berries with a little sugar in the food processor and there you have it – instant sorbet.
Mexican Tofu Magic Meal
One of my best food decisions in recent times has been to start eating tofu again. It’s so fun to have a new super convenient protein option in the mix. Case in point this Mexican Tofu Magic Meal.
Goats Cheese & Basil Omelette
It’s hard to go past an omelette when you feel like a super quick, healthy meal. The possibilities are endless when it comes to additions and flavours but this goats cheese and basil combo is one of my all time favourites.
The Worlds EASIEST Peanut Butter Cookies
Are these peanut butter cookies the EASIEST in the world? Given they only have 3 ingredients. And all you have to do is stir together some brown sugar, peanut butter and an egg – I definitely haven’t come across an easier cookie.
