Traybakes
Harissa roast chicken traybake
Chicken thighs roasted on top of chickpeas and red peppers, so the fat renders down into everything underneath. One tray, one wash-up.
Every recipe
Tested, written up in full, and linked to the ingredients they lean on.
Salads & sides
Zucchini ribbon salad with lemon
Raw zucchini is better than its reputation, but only if you shave it thin and give the salt ten minutes to work.
Soups & stews
Charred red pepper and chickpea stew
The peppers go under the grill until they are properly black in patches. That ten minutes is the whole flavour of the dish.
Weeknight dinners
Zucchini fritters that actually hold together
Grated zucchini holds an astonishing amount of water. Get it out and you have crisp fritters; leave it in and you have green pancakes.
Salads & sides
Two-ingredient yogurt flatbread
No yeast, no proving, no oven. Flour and yogurt in a bowl, and hot bread twenty minutes later.
Traybakes
Sheet-pan salmon with peppers and capers
The peppers get a fifteen-minute head start. Put them in at the same time as the fish and one of them will be wrong.
Breakfast
Overnight oats with Greek yogurt
Equal parts oats, milk and yogurt by volume. Everything after that is a topping, and none of it changes whether it works.
Soups & stews
Spiced chickpea soup with lemon
Blending all of it gives you baby food. Blending none of it gives you thin broth with things in it. Half is the answer.
