BudgetCannellini Bean and Cavolo Nero Pasta
A brothy, high-fibre pasta: cannellini beans and cavolo nero with fennel and lemon, topped with vegan yoghurt and a spicy toasted pumpkin seed drizzle.
BudgetCharred Brussels Sprout Pad Thai
A vegetarian pad Thai built on charred Brussels sprouts and smoked tofu, finished with beansprouts, peanuts, lime and coriander.
SpeedyCold Udon and Cucumber Salad with Chilli Oil
Scooping the watery seeds out of the cucumber is what keeps the dressing clinging instead of pooling. Rinsing the noodles cold stops them cooking and keeps the whole thing crisp.
SpeedyCoronation Chicken Sandwiches
Toasting the almonds and cooking the curry powder out with the spring onion is what lifts this above a standard sandwich filler. Best made with leftover roast chicken.
BudgetEdible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Two things make it safe to eat raw: no egg, and toasting the flour briefly to kill anything off. Roll it into balls over vanilla ice cream.
SpeedyGochujang Rigatoni with Plant-Based Sausage
A fast, spicy pasta: rigatoni in a creamy gochujang sauce with caramelised plant-based sausage and a crunchy coriander breadcrumb topping.
BudgetHarissa and Tomato Couscous Pots
Keep the harissa at the very bottom and the spinach at the top. The boiling water hits the paste first and carries it up through the couscous, while the leaves only wilt rather than stew.
BudgetHomemade Turkey Twizzlers
Blanch the sausages for a minute first so they firm up — raw sausage tears apart the moment you try to spiral-cut it around a skewer.
Accessible IngredientJuicy Turkey Burgers with Burger Sauce and Pickles
Mayonnaise in the mince is the trick — 3% fat turkey has almost nothing to keep it moist, and the fat in the mayo does that job without making the patties greasy.
BudgetMarsala Tiramisu with Grated Dark Chocolate
No raw eggs and no separate whisking - the cream, mascarpone, sugar and marsala all go into one bowl. The only thing to get right is dipping the sponge fingers just long enough to soak but not collapse.
SpeedyMiso Butter Udon with Soy-Cured Egg Yolk
A carbonara built on miso instead of egg. The yolks need a few hours in soy first, but the noodles themselves come together in the time it takes to boil water.
Accessible IngredientOne-Bowl Olive Oil Chocolate Chunk Cookies
No butter, no eggs and no mixer. Whisking the oil, water and sugar until thick is what gives them the crackled top and chewy middle.
BudgetOne-Pan Smoky Gnocchi with Plant-Based Sausage
A one-pan gnocchi supper: spiced plant-based sausage, bell peppers and cherry tomatoes in a creamy paprika sauce, finished with fresh basil.
BudgetRaspberry Vegan Buttercream Frosting
Add the raspberries gradually rather than all at once — their juice is what tints the frosting pink, but too much moisture at once will split the butter.
Accessible IngredientReal Vanilla Custard for Pouring
Five ingredients and no cornflour, so the only thing holding it together is the yolks. Keep it over simmering water rather than direct heat and whisk the whole time.
Accessible IngredientSilky Tahini Hummus with Za’atar
The trick to a silky texture is blitzing longer than feels necessary and loosening with the chickpea liquid rather than water, so the flavour stays concentrated.
BudgetSizzling Chilli Oil Udon with Pak Choi
The whole dish turns on the last step: the oil has to be shimmering when it hits the chilli and garlic, so it blooms rather than sits. Ten minutes start to finish.
BudgetSpicy 'Nduja Rigatoni with Cherry Tomatoes
A fiery tomato pasta: rigatoni in a rust-red 'nduja sauce with burst cherry tomatoes, grated parmesan and plenty of basil.
SpeedyThe Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich
Everything cooks low and slow in one pan, staggered so it comes together hot. The sauce - mayo, ketchup and hot sauce whisked together - is what ties it all in the bun.
Accessible MethodThree-Ingredient Salted Coconut Caramel
A dairy-free salted caramel made from just coconut milk, muscovado sugar and sea salt. Good over ice cream, brownies or warm banana bread.
