Grilled steak, spiky thai inspired dipping sauce and a fresh crunchy salad, a simple but really impressive supper that takes minutes to prepare. You can make your own toasted rice powder which is as straightforward as it sounds. Simply roast a handful of sticky or other short grain rice or toast in a pan and then grind to a powder. It can also be left out if needed.

This is one of my absolute favourite weeknight pasta dishes, its Vodka Penne with a bit of a twist. I’ve added some pork sausage to give the creamy sauce a meaty ragu and it really is the ultimate comfort food.

Take one sheet of store-bought puff pastry and pile it high with lots of delicious spring ingredients and, hey presto, you get these beautiful spring tarts! This is a perfect example of a cheat ingredient meal –  ordinarily puff pastry can be complicated to make from scratch. Here you get all the best bits of a homemade tart in a fraction of the time. Change up the topping depending on what’s in season.
