zesty bread and butter pudding
This traditional British pudding is delicious, comforting and warming on a cold winter’s day.
sweet potato Caribbean curry
Creamy and gently spiced, this vibrant curry will transport you to warmer climates, wherever you are.
sticky marmalade tofu
During my years as a vegan, I’ve had a love/hate relationship with tofu. The love part is when tofu is crisp, golden and full of flavour; the hate part is when tofu is spongy and soggy!
parsnip and chickpea tagine
I’ve often skipped past tagine recipes due to the long, complicated ingredients lists; however, with a few short cuts, this tagine is simple to prepare yet still very tasty.
pappardelle with creamy white wine mushrooms
One of life’s true pleasures is a big bowl of slippery pappardelle pasta, with a creamy, garlicky sauce. White wine brings a touch of acidity to the earthy mushrooms.
no-fish cakes
All the flavour and texture of fish cakes – but completely vegan! These no-fish cakes are golden and crisp on the outside, while being fluffy and fragrant inside.
lime curd
Perfect as a cake drizzle, pudding filling or spread onto scones or into sandwiches for a picnic, this lime curd is both creamy and zesty.
leek and mushroom pot pies
These cosy pies are creamy, fragrant and satisfying. I love serving them as small individual portions, but feel free to create one large pie to share, family-style.
easiest-ever peanut butter fudge
Traditional fudge needs skill, precision and a sugar thermometer, but if you’re looking for a simple, fail-safe
recipe, try this peanut butter fudge.
coconut and squash traybake
Sometimes dinner is as easy as adding everything to a roasting tin and letting the oven do all the hard work.
breakfast burritos
Burritos make the best on-the-go breakfasts. Simply wrap them up in some kitchen foil to keep them hot!
coffee and cream french toast
Serve this indulgent delight for breakfast, brunch or dessert (or any time in between).
tuscan bean and pasta soup
The reassuring texture and flavour of white beans and pasta are brought together in this simple soup, which is filling and warming.
skin-on seaside chips
I couldn’t write this book without including my favourite comfort food: chips. Let this recipe transport you to the great British seaside, tucking into a bag of hot, vinegary chips by the sea.
pitta pizzas
Pitta breads make wonderful pizza bases that can be loaded with toppings before being baked until golden. Little hands love to help too!
chestnut mushroom bourguignon
Delight dinner guests with this deep, boozy, herbed bourguignon.
cherry pot pies
Dark, juicy cherries are sweet, sticky and zesty in these golden pastry-topped pies.
carrot and onion bhajis
My favourite Indian snacks are onion bhajis – not the type that come from a packet in the supermarket, but the aromatic, straight-out-of-hot-oil kind.
rustic ribollita
Traditional Italian ribollita is a hearty and economical dish that uses up kitchen leftovers, including bread. It’s somewhere between a stew and a soup, with a chunky yet starchy base and a substantial bite from the cannellini beans.
soy-roasted broccoli green curry
Broccoli takes on a wonderful, nutty flavour when roasted. Serve it over this Thai green curry for a simple dinner that is full of flavour.
giant spring rolls
I’m sure I don’t speak for just myself when I say that I want more than a bite-sized spring roll.
satay noodles
If you’re a lover of peanut butter, this bowl of creamy noodles is designed for you.
traditional sultana scones
Quintessentially British and perfect with a pot of tea, there’s little in life that can beat a sultana scone.
beer-battered onion rings
These pub-style onion rings make a great sharing starter using store cupboard ingredients.
monday’s root vegetable bhuna
I always roast up too many vegetables to go with Sunday lunch. Sometimes accidentally, sometimes intentionally; either way, they make a perfect addition to this simple and spicy bhuna.
edamame, lime, and sesame jar salad
This is a make-now-and-enjoy-later salad that looks as pretty as it tastes.
2 minute chocolate chip and pecan cookie
Yes, you read that correctly! You will have this comforting cookie in just 2 minutes.
sweetcorn chowder
I love the smoky background to this classic soup, which is sunny in both colour and flavour.
savoury pancakes with garlicky mushrooms
A simple, thrifty, yet luxurious dinner that transforms basic ingredients into a hearty meal. Why wait until Shrove Tuesday to flip the pancake pan?
raspberry, rose, and pistachio crumble
Crumble is my ultimate pudding. The sweet, baked fruit and crunchy topping make it the most comforting bowl there is.
