pork ribs with sichuan salt

Sichuan salt is such a cheery alternative to that cloying and sticky, sweet sauce we often find on pork ribs. Feel free to simplify the marinade with what you have on hand - this version adds to the flavour but what you really need is seasoning, and that spicy salt when you serve it.

chicken salad with spicy sesame dressing

This is a dish I turn to for a weekly meal plan - it's a recipe the kids love as much as the adults (tweaking the chilli for each of us). I've even done this with leftover roast chicken (thank you Sunday roast), making it an excellent Monday night dinner. It's fresh, light, and a rather excellent start to the week. I tend to use tahini as a dressing for the kids.

spiced kedgeree

If you love something savoury for breakfast, then have a go at this light spiced kedgeree. It's rice, salmon, and you know what, add a fried egg if you like.

soft polenta with flathead and pancetta

This soft polenta with flathead and pancetta is the simplest, most comforting weeknight dinner that everyone will love. My kids eat this, and it's one of the meals I put on the weekly rotation often simply because I know it will go down so well.

Spanish chopped salad with tuna and chorizo

For my Spanish chopped salad recipe, all we need is some bright leaves, the chorizo - which adds a gorgeous smoky, salty kick - and a good piece of tuna.
