Good To FreezeTortilla-Crumbed Fried Chicken Sandwich
Use the jalapeño brine as the slaw dressing rather than throwing it away. It seasons and lightly pickles the cabbage at the same time, so the slaw cuts through the fried chicken.
Packed LunchTraybake Orange Chicken Noodles
A one-tray roast of chicken and cabbage, finished with noodles in a sticky orange and soy glaze.
Good To FreezeTraybake Orange Chicken Noodles
Tossing the chicken in cornflour before it goes in the oven does two jobs — it protects the lean breast meat from drying out, and it thickens the sauce when the two meet later.
Good To FreezeTreacle and Mustard Glazed Air Fryer Roast Beef
The glaze goes on at the end, not the start. Treacle burns long before the middle of a 1kg joint is done, so it needs only the final 15 minutes to set into a dark lacquer.
BudgetTuna Melt Enchiladas
Pack the tortillas in snugly, seam-side down. Left loose they unroll in the oven and the filling escapes into the sauce.
BudgetTuna Ragù
Stir the tuna in only once the sauce is off the boil and thickened. Simmering it breaks the flakes down into mush and the whole thing loses its texture.
BudgetTuna and Bean Salad with Green Beans
Blanch the green beans for one minute and refresh them under cold water straight away — that keeps them squeaky and bright green rather than dull and soft in the dressing.
BudgetTuna and Egg Fried Rice with Avocado
Scramble the eggs in a cleared corner of the pan rather than over the rice — they set into proper curds instead of coating every grain and going rubbery.
Accessible IngredientTuna and Green Bean Chopped Salad
Chop everything together on the board rather than mixing it in the bowl. The pieces end up the same size, so every forkful gets tuna, bean and chilli instead of one at a time.
BudgetTuna and Sweetcorn Linguine with Crispy Capers
Pat the capers and sweetcorn properly dry before they hit the oil, or they steam instead of crisping and the topping never gets its crunch.
Good To FreezeTuna and Toasted Rice Chilli Crunch Bowl
Blending the cottage cheese is what turns it into a dressing — left as curds it sits in lumps, blitzed with lemon and sriracha it goes smooth and creamy without any mayonnaise.
BudgetTuna, Cannellini and Green Olive Spaghetti
Spaghetti with tuna, cannellini beans, green olives and capers, finished with lemon zest and chilli flakes.
BudgetTuna, Celery and Miso Smash
Miso replaces most of the mayonnaise here — one tablespoon of mayo binds it while the miso brings the savoury depth, so it stays high protein without tasting austere.
SpeedyTuna, Fennel and Tomato Spaghetti
Use jarred tuna in oil rather than tinned in brine if you can — it stays in meaty flakes instead of shredding into the sauce, and the oil carries flavour into the pasta.
Packed LunchTuna, Lentil and Butter Bean Salad with Feta
Dress the beans while you assemble rather than at the end — they sit in the fridge soaking up the vinegar, which is why this tastes better on day two than day one.
Good To FreezeTuna, Tomato and Courgette Gnocchi
Cook the basil stems in the sauce and pull them out before serving — they give a rounder basil flavour than the leaves alone, which you add at the end for freshness.
Accessible MethodTurmeric Cod Curry with Crispy Coconut Quinoa
The cod steams on top of the sauce rather than being stirred in, so it stays in big flakes. It is ready when a knife meets no resistance — push it further and it goes chalky.
SpeedyÇılbır (Turkish Poached Eggs with Yoghurt)
Take the yoghurt out of the fridge before you start — fridge-cold yoghurt under hot eggs and hot butter kills the whole dish. Room temperature is what makes it work.
