2. Flash-roasted puttanesca with garden herbs
Crammed with vegetables, this pasta puttanesca looks impressive but is an easy meal to make. All you need for this humble dish is a heavy roasting pan and high-quality ingredients.

3. Green breakfast bowl with haloumi
If you’re looking to bring some nutrients into your morning meal, this breakfast bowl is your answer. A dazzling blend of basil pesto, dill, avocado and pistachio are a flavour sensation, while cooked haloumi brings texture. Plus, the quinoa is a great alternative for those who want to avoid gluten.

For weeknight fun, say ‘hola!’ to soft-shell beef tacos that’ll feed the whole family. To keep the tortillas soft, we recommend wrapping them in a slightly dampened, clean tea towel and microwaving in batches of four.
5. Angel hair pasta with garlic, olives and herbs

An appetising dish to whip up at any time of the day, corn fritters are tasty and healthy in equal measures.

Eat them on their own or pair with a side salad to bulk up your plate.

The secret behind this mouth-watering Asian-inspired dish is the delightful ginger dressing. Combine ginger with rice wine vinegar, pickled ginger, red chilli and sesame oil to amp up the flavour in this nutrient-dense rice bowl.
