I love a roasted salad and this one has some of my favourite flavour combinations. Salads don’t have to be boring, and this one certainly isn’t. For £1.67 a portion it’s also reasonably priced considering the amount of fresh ingredients. It’s a great Meat Free Monday meal if you’ve had an over indulgent weekend but doesn’t compromise on flavour and texture. It also just happens to be completely vegan.

Mussels are one of my all time favourite meals and while I love the classic bacon, leek and cider flavour combo, I decided to mix it up and experiment with a chorizo flavoured mussel recipe. With some added samphire for colour, crunch and saltiness, chopped jarred red peppers for sweetness, white wine and plenty of lemon juice for acidity, and toasted almonds for some nuttiness, this is up there with one of my favourite weekend meals. Minimal chopping, maximum flavour, and all in one pan - the dream.

This special dish has all of the vibrant, fresh flavours of Indian cuisine. It is definitely a treat, but once you have made it once, you will want to make it again and again for any special occasion. Each of the elements can be made ahead and it is a great way to satisfy your cravings for a roast and curry in one without ruining any New Year diet plans.

This is a quick and easy recipe which is perfect for when you’re short on time. It’s also a great fakeaway meal for when those takeaway cravings come calling. Cheaper, healthier and I think tastier than your average takeaway stir fry, I hope this becomes a staple recipe for you as it has for me.

I’ve been making these spiced lamb burgers for years. It’s the best way to satisfy your cravings for a curry and a burger in one recipe. They are a favourite with my family and I’m sure will become a favourite for you too.

I love citrusy desserts to finish a meal and this lemon polenta cake is the perfect end to a dinner party. It’s also delicious with an afternoon cup of tea. Served with creme fraiche and raspberries, this is a light and fresh pudding perfect for any time of year.

This is the perfect dish to keep those January healthy eating intentions going. It will also bring some much-needed summery vibes to your dinner table during these dark nights.

This is such a tasty winter salad which is so quick and easy to make. Full of goodness and lots of flavour, it’s a great working from home lunch or light dinner.

This is a no holds barred dessert. It’s sweet, salty, gooey, crispy, fudgy, nutty and pretty dirty all at the same time. The ice cream is super creamy and rich and with the fudginess of the salted nutty cookie and the slight aromatic flavour from the thyme, you won’t be able to stop digging your spoon in.

There is nothing like a fresh and aromatic homemade Thai green curry. Served with some crispy panfried seabass and a zingy, crunchy, peanutty slaw, this feels slightly more special than your standard midweek thai green curry out of a jar. Although I love a thai green curry with prawns, chicken or veg, the lovely fresh, clean taste of the sea bass goes so well with the rich, coconutty sauce.

This recipe uses the tried and tested combination of harissa, sweet potato and red pepper for a deliciously simple midweek meal. The tender, caramelised chicken thighs, cooling yoghurt and sharp herby dressing add more flavours and textures and elevate this from your typical traybake recipe. A perfect, healthy midweek meal.

Everyone loves risotto and butternut squash and chorizo is a classic combination. However, with the little twists I have made to my recipe, this is a risotto with a difference. The crispy sage, paprika hazelnuts and amaretti all add texture and more layers of flavour. The crushed amaretti biscuit on top is a classic Italian addition which I personally love. The little hint of sweetness works so well with the squash, while the saltiness from the parmesan and spice from the nuts and chorizo balances everything out.

This is a collection of some of my most favourite flavours and on these cold, January nights we all need a bit of sunshine. The baked sesame feta with thyme honey is a real showstopper and incredibly moreish, while the marinated chicken thighs are so tasty and moist. Follow my recipes to make your own mezze feast - there really is something for everyone.

This is a decadent Sunday night roast. Its rich and full of flavour and definitely a treat. We were gifted the chateaubriand a few months ago and it has been in our freezer ever since. I was going to do a beef wellington with it, but decided that a fancy Sunday roast would be a nice luxury instead. The accompaniments would work with any other piece of beef, they would also be great with venison too. The cauliflower puree pulls everything together and is a definite must-try.

With this recipe I tried to recreate all my favourite flavours of a tuna and avocado sushi roll but in a slightly more refined, elegant dish. This made a lovely light main course but it would also make a great starter for a dinner party in smaller portions. The marinade for the steaks is sooooo tasty - salty, sweet, spicy, sour and sharp all at the same time with lots of deep umami flavours. The pea, avocado and wasabi mash works so well with the tuna, giving a background heat to the whole dish. With some crispy shallots, crushed wasabi peas and some pickled ginger on top for texture and flavour, this is a fresh and zingy recipe which will wake up your tastebuds.

With this recipe you can feed a family of 4 for under £10. It’s full of flavour and texture and a delicious, satisfying veggie meal. The cauliflower “steaks” become beautifully soft, buttery and caramelised and absorb all the lovely flavours from my favourite rose harissa paste. The whipped feta is a complete game-changer and this recipe would work so well as part of any meat/fish/mezze spread.

Chicken kyiv may be a retro classic but I’d forgotten just how delicious and comforting they are. This was a birthday request meal from a few weeks ago and I discovered when coming up with the recipe that the secret to a great chicken kyiv is the butter - it really is a case of the more butter the better. It’s the type of meal I never make but it’s the perfect weeknight comforting dinner on these dark, wintry nights.

I love the zesty sharpness of key lime pie at the end of a meal. Although you can’t beat this retro classic I decided to mix things up a bit with this recipe for my yuzu and lemon key lime pie with lemon and lime curd. The yuzu adds another layer of distinctive sharpness which goes so well with the ginger in the nut crust. This recipe can be made ahead and is perfect for your next dinner party.

This is one of my favourite recipes I have tested lately and one I will return to again and again. I wanted to come up with an ultimate pasta ragu recipe using lamb shoulder which falls apart, slow cooked in a rich sauce flavoured with anchovies, olives, capers, white wine, parmesan and plenty of herbs. Although decadent, by using white wine and chicken stock, this ragu is surprisingly light and not too heavy at all - meaning you can happily eat bowl after bowl (in fact I’d encourage this).

This recipe has bags of flavour, plenty of texture and is very healthy and quick to make. Pairing lemon and garlic tahini sauces with fish is a new discovery for me but one I am very much on board with. The spices on the salmon compliment the creaminess of the dressing, zestiness of the sumac tabbouleh and the crunch of the chickpeas.
