Spicy Mushroom and Broccoli Noodles
Treat yourself to this sumptuous vegetarian stir-fry which features the shiitake mushroom known for its umami flavour and meaty texture.

Fish Tacos
Fish Tacos are the epitome of the Baja experience, and how wonderful is it that you can create this in the comfort of your (temporary) home? This humble Mexican delicacy is elevated by a zesty cabbage slaw in this recipe, and the fish is pan-fried rather than deep-fried to make it healthier. Serve it up in your choice of tortilla and you’re good to go!

Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken
One of the best things to do with the versatile chicken breast is to stuff it, so it retains its moisture and absorbs the flavours of the stuffing. This recipe infuses Greek flavours into the chicken dish, and will leave you wondering how on earth you could end up with so much depth of flavour with only seven ingredients in under 30 minutes! Also keep in mind that it’s a great meal to serve to unexpected dinner guests!
