You cannot beat a sausage roll. And with added black pudding, these are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Served with a homemade brown sauce, these would be ideal served at party, as a hearty midweek dinner for the family or packed up for a picnic.

A nourishing recipe which will help you glow from the inside out. Perfect for boosting immunity at this time of year, while helping you hit your fibre goals and get your 5 a day in. It’s also completely delicious too.

A delicious, in-season dessert which is guaranteed to impress at any dinner party.

Everyone is looking for healthy, high protein, meal prep recipes this time of year. And I am a big fan of any recipe that lets me use up any veggies in the fridge. You could switch out the tuna for any other kind of protein - chicken, tofu, totally up to you. A simple honey, mustard and garlic dressing ties everything together and ensures this is a tasty salad you will actually look forward to eat.

I know we are all on a health kick at this time of year, but it is Sunday so it only seemed right to post a roast dinner-of-sorts-recipe. I’ve had lots of requests for this recipe since I first teased it on my page a few months ago. For me, it’s the perfect dinner party dish which always impresses guests and appears to have taken much longer than it has. Crispy pork crackling with soft, succulent meat stuffed with orange, fennel, pine nuts, chilli and garlic served with a rich, creamy and buttery saffron risotto and some crunchy, charred tenderstem topped with a salty, crispy, bacon crumb. Heaven.

I had a sad looking aubergine in my fridge the other day so decided to make my version of the traditional Sicilian dish - caponata. I had this many times when we were on holiday there last summer and its the perfect mix of sweet and sour flavours. Sweetness from tomatoes, raisins and a hint of dark chocolate, sourness from vinegar and lemon and a salty hit from anchovies and capers. Heaven in a bowl and all using store cupboard ingredients.

A healthy take on your typical family fajita recipe. The joy about my version is the chicken can be cooked in one roasting tray so it’s much less faff. I also think the chicken dries out less cooked this way too. Great one for the family and also ideal for leftovers.

A classic rhubarb crumble with a couple of slight twists. So easy to prepare but a complete crowd pleaser which delivers everything you want from a pudding on every level.

This is a fridge-raid recipe which you can make your own with whatever needs using. I love a bulgur wheat salad and find the grain a great flavoursome base for any salad when cooked in chicken stock. I went for roasted red onions, peppers and courgettes and stirred these through with sad rocket leaves, air fried crispy halloumi and pomegranates.

A simple but delicious midweek dinner which is ready on the table in no time. The delicious crust on top of the salmon ensures it stays lovely and moist while the hazelnuts add some nuttiness and extra crunch. An earthy lentil salad with some roasted red onions, asparagus, spinach and plenty of lemon juice adds plenty of fibre and goodness.

Comfort food in a bowl. Soft, light, fluffy sponge, pools of sweet sticky golden syrup, and lashings of proper custard, this is the ultimate old school pudding which just shouldn’t be messed with and can’t be improved. Having said that I have given my recipe a little lift with some orange zest and flaked almonds for some texture, but ultimately, the more classic and simple with this one the better.

My feed at the moment is full of people happy that it’s officially “autumn” and therefore cosy food season. Don’t get me wrong, I love an apple crumble and roast dinner as much as anyone, but I for one and still clinging on to the last few remnants of summer. We enjoyed this al fresco during the heatwave weekend back in July which already seems like a lifetime ago, but for me, burrata is the ideal sharing starter at any time of year.

You know how much I love a traybake and this one is on my rotation almost weekly. Full of goodness, fibre, protein and the sweet and spicy heat from the harissa paste which is cooled down with creamy, roasted garlic yoghurt, you can switch out the chicken for any protein or keep it completely veggie.

Dirty rice but make it healthy. Full of fibre and all the veggie goodness, this quick dinner packs a punch and can be a great way to use up any sad looking veg in your fridge or store cupboard cans you’ve had hanging around for a while.

My name is Bethany and I am a hummus addict. When I say I could gallons of the stuff, I really do mean it and have come close on many an occasion. Google hummus recipes and you will be met with reems of versions using dried/canned/jarred chickpeas, but this is my version which works well every time. You really can top hummus with whatever you like, but I have started making this version in multiple forms lately and it really does make a great snack for a dinner party and looks lovely as part of a mezzo spread. Also, if you don’t have time to make your own hummus, just buy a good quality extra virgin olive oil version and make the toppings which takes 5 minutes.

Ok confession time. I have never been much of a tofu fan... until I marinated it overnight and tried it in the air fryer and it was a GAME CHANGER. I went for a really simple marinade of soy, siracha and lime before air frying it until super crispy and golden. I then paired it with a fridge raid bulgur salad with whatever veggies I had in the fridge. An ideal quick midweek dinner of wfh lunch.

Since its cherry season I thought it was time to treat myself to a little afternoon baking session. This is my cherry, ricotta and almond cake inspired by versions by some of my favourite foodies Ravneet Gill and Esther Clark. I have a version of a ricotta cake which I turn to time and time again depending on what fruit is in season and it really is a one of my favourite recipes. The ricotta changes the texture of the sponge slightly keeping the cake lovely and moist and so light. It also gives it a light, creamy taste which works so well with the sharp, juicy cherries soaked in a little amaretto. Topped with some flaked almonds and demerara sugar for added crunch, this cake is so easy to whip uo. Served with a dollop of creme fraiche, you have a slice of summer heaven.

This is the ideal recipe for this weather and is a great wfh lunch. Baking the rice with soy and sesame makes it so wonderfully crispy and the perfect carrier for so many flavours and marinades. The crunch of plenty of green veg, meaty tuna flakes and a punchy and zesty ginger, lime, sesame dressing is so moreish. Also the beauty of this salad is it actually tastes better the longer it sits so no need to worry about any sad soggy salads.

One of my favourite recipes for when I’m low on time and energy. Simply add everything into the roasting tray in two stages and in 30 minutes you will have the most delicious midweek meal. Minimal chopping (my favourite), minimal washing up (also my favourite), maximum pleasure.

One of my go-to midweek meals which has some of my favourite flavours. It’s high in protein, delicious and really quick to pull together. We all know pork and fennel is a marriage made in heaven anyway and with the addition of plenty of parmesan, garlic, a splash of white wine, anchovies, and a touch of lemon, it’s a bowl of comfort food you will return to time and again.
