Pumpkin and turmeric soup with Parmesan croutons

Pumpkin soup, spiced slightly with turmeric and with Parmesan-laden torn-up croutons on top. Meal prep might seems like a bit of a burden but here’s my guide to getting s@#t done while you’re having your morning coffee!

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.

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.

halloumi, cauliflower and crispy chickpeas with sweet raisin vinegar

Vegetarians! Carnivores! So when you roast tinned chickpeas they go all soft and chewy and dehydrated which completely transforms them and gives us a more substantial, nutty bite. And when you roast them with cauliflower and halloumi and dress it with my sour raisin balsamic it’s just the best Thursday night dinner. This is how you feed your people after these long days at home and make them amazed by what a good cook you are.
