This leftover roast chicken with white beans and spinach is a quick one-pan dinner made with cannellini beans, garlic, lemon, parsley and Parmesan.

Salmon Patties with Homemade Tartare Sauce
These easy Salmon Patties turn a tin of salmon and a few everyday ingredients into a genuinely delicious dinner. Made with potato, plenty of salmon, capers, lemon, Dijon mustard and fresh herbs, they’re pan-fried until beautifully golden on the outside while staying soft and full of flaky salmon inside.

Mexican Green Spaghetti (Espagueti Verde)
Mexican Green Spaghetti, or Espagueti Verde, is spaghetti tossed through a creamy, vibrant green sauce made with poblano peppers, fresh coriander and cream cheese. It’s full of flavour, surprisingly simple to make and one of those dishes I discovered while travelling that I couldn’t stop thinking about when I came home. I first ate Espagueti…
Spring Chicken Tray Bake with Asparagus, Baby Potatoes & Lemon
There’s something about the first good asparagus of the season that immediately makes me want to change the way I’m cooking. After months of hearty winter dishes, I start craving dinners that still feel satisfying but have a little more freshness and colour about them. That was really the starting point for this Spring Chicken…

As everything roasts together, the pan fills with flavour, creating a rich sauce that’s perfect spooned over the chicken at the table. A friend first made a version of this for me years…
Spanish Garlic Chicken (Pollo al Ajillo)
Some dishes instantly take you back to a place. For me, this one brings back a tapas stop in Malaga — cold drinks on the table, warm evening air, and one of those gloriously garlicky dishes that arrives with absolutely no pretence and disappears almost immediately. The version I had was closer to tapas-style chicken…
Classic Aussie Beef Rissoles
Golden, juicy Aussie beef rissoles with plenty of gravy — it’s the kind of dinner that never really goes out of style. A couple of weeks ago I went out for dinner with some friends at a new restaurant — the kind of place where you’d expect small plates and wine, not rissoles. And yet,…
