Who doesn’t love fish and chips! Growing up in Ireland it was always the treat on a Friday night, served in newspaper, eating it on the pier. I don’t live by the sea now and so it’s become something that I do at home when I miss my other home, Ireland. The batter is light and crisp (make sure theoil is very hot), chips are crunchy and floury on the inside (I like a maris piper) and a homemade tartare sauce that you can make in under 5 minutes. Hello Friday

There are so many delicious things that you can add into this classic Caesar – purple sprouting broccoli, roast butternut squash, avocado, sun-blushed tomatoes, grilled halloumi, olives, the list goes on! Double up on the dressing as it will last for a couple of weeks in the fridge, and if you want to perk it up stir in some chilli flflakes

This is the ultimate fast, no-fuss, but incredibly good supper. The tuna just takes 2 minutes to cook, so make sure you do that at the last minute. The rest is really a case of popping the potatoes in a saucepan and leaving them to cook. The dressing with the added squeeze of wasabi brings it to life! If you want something else alongside, I suggest cooked purple sprouting broccoli or green beans or raw fresh radishes or very thinly sliced fennel

You can also use chicken, beef, prawns or hearty vegetables such as aubergines, courgettes or tofu. It freezes well, so I double the recipe and freeze half for when I want a day off cooking.

I love making this dish during the spring because it’s so light and fragrant. During the remainder of the year, I simply replace the wild garlic with other fresh herbs that are in season, such as basil, mint, or oregano. I sometimes add grilled fish, shrimp, or chicken to this dish for a weekday one-course suppe

Don’t they make you a squidge more happy just looking at them! They are so fun to serve up for a relaxed supper. Grill them up on the bbq if it’s sunny outside. It’s definitely worth going to the extra mile and buying brioche buns (they freeze really well do) for the soft buttery bun. The Oh Yeah Yum Slaw is fantastic with tonnes of things too! –

Packed with vegetables and steaming with traditional Thai flavours, i’ve put a twist on classic Thai green curry.

Pad Thai is definitely become a food cult at the street food market scene, and there are so many reasons why. It’s utterly delicious and satisfying in both flavour and comfort hitting. It’s both fresh and vibrant as well as hearty and warming. Which makesit a brilliant mid-week fast track to supper. I am using a vegan option Tofu, which absorbs all the delicious flavours of spices, herbs and tangy soya and fish sauces, but you can use prawns, chicken or beef too.

Delicious chargrilled pieces of chicken, coated in an addictive peanut sauce that takes just five minutes to make in a frying pan! I love serving this with coconut rice as it partners so well with the peanut flavours. Lots of alternatives to the chicken too.

This is a super-fast and simple way to make a delicious curry. I am using leftover roast chicken, but of course you can use raw chicken (just cook it off first), beef, pork, prawns or make it vegetarian by using chickpeas or a mix of pulses. You could also add in a handful of frozen peas, that will add a lovely sweetness to it.

We all have our own favourite ways to roast chicken and are always so curious to see if there are any tips to make it that bit better. My top tip in this recipe is to spoon the flavoured butter up underneath the skin of the chicken breast – it transforms the flavour and moistness of the chicken. Serve with honey-roasted carrots and parsnips, mashed potato, gravy and mustard for a traditional chicken feast.

For this recipe I use soba noodles, a Japanese noodle made from buckwheat flour and water. They give that silky slurpy texture that is so good in curries and soups, but you could use egg noodles instead. A sprinkle of chopped cashews on top would also be delicious.
