Delicate white fish baked until tender, served with a light lemon cream sauce, smooth mash, and garden greens.

This Chinese take out classic but made in the slow cooker so the flavour has time to really develop. The broccoli is like a sponge so it absorbs so much flavour and are actually my favourite bits in this - but my partner loves the beef, so it kind of works out perfectly! :-) Served with Steamed Jasmine rice.

When I lived in Italy I learned a few things, one was that this is not how Italians make Bolognese! The other was that food slowly and lovingly cooked tastes a million times better. This is our 24 hour slow cooked Bolognese Sauce. Great on pasta, zoodles, roast potatoes, and even in a toastie!

As I type this it occurs to me how many recipes we have that use mushrooms. As a child I was a devout mushroom hater. It was only later in life that I have slowly (very slowly!) added them into meals that I eat regularly. One way is in a creamy sauce like in a stroganoff, or like this in a rich gravy. This is simple, comfort in a bowl.

Comfort Food Central! This English classic has a deeply savoury beef mince filling smothered in gravy topped with creamy mashed potato, baked until golden. One of the best cosy foods to make with ground beef!

We eat this on its own, it is a meal in itself - loaded with veggies and with a savoury sauce, then sprinkled with green onions for bite. A wholesome meal or serve with a stir-fry and use this as the base!

In our hunt for great gluten free baked goodies we came across this baker - and while these aren't Gluten Free, their homemade style and hidden veggies really ticked all the boxes! We loved them and think you will too!

Classic! With our favourite sliced Central highlands ham and Jarlsberg Cheese, this is delicious fresh, warmed through in the microwave, or oven to make it crispy - or even in the sandwich press!

This one is Sam's favourite soup so we had to add it! Leeks are such a gentle member of the allium family and let's be honest, what is more comforting that mixing it with potato, cream and chives! Reminds me of baked potatoes at the school fete!

This is a heart-warming French classic meal which was popularized after the iconic movie named after it was released.

Teriyaki Chicken as we had it in Japan is amazing, light, not too sweet and not too sticky, and served on a bed of sushi rice! It was great - but this is not it! This is a dish that pays homage to the Teriyaki chicken and rice I used to love getting in the food court under Sydney Westfields/Myers at a place called Hokka Hokka. it was not traditional. It was sticky! It was sweet! The rice came with peas, corn and carrot mixed through - which actually was need with that sweet sauce! And of course, I always asked for extra sauce!!
