Fresh tortellini makes this the hearty appetiser of our dreams. If you're not a fan of olives, pepperoncini peppers would be a delicious substitute!

Securing the roll-ups with toothpicks makes them MUCH easier to cook. Just don't forget to remove them when it's time for serving!

Nothing screams summer quite like bruschetta. Toasted bread gets rubbed with garlic (don't skip it, it's the best part) and topped with simply marinated tomatoes. The brighter and juicier your tomatoes, the better your bruschetta will be.

Baby bella mushrooms are stuffed with garlicky, herby breadcrumbs and plenty of cheese. They make for an easy appetiser or a simple side dish. Stuff them ahead of time and bake them off when you're ready.

Don't get us wrong—we love baked brie. But it's not the most exciting party app. Fried brie, on the other hand, is absolutely INSANE.

Held together by pepperoni, these mac and cheese bites are a pizza lover's dream. Creamy mac, pepperoni, and plenty of Parm. What's not to love?

These little guys are scary addictive. Just as the courgette becomes tender, the cheese is getting melty and delicious.

The marinade is made with ingredients you most likely have on hand. And although the meat would benefit from hanging in the mixture for a while, as long as you give it some time to hang out, it'll take on the flavour.

Use chargrilled artichoke hearts if you can find them for an even better flavour. Lemon and basil lift all the flavours beautifully in this dish.

By brushing the pork belly slices with the Char Siu sauce and grilling three times over, not only do you guarantee loads of flavour, but the sauce helps to re-moisten the pork between sessions under the grill for maximum caramelisation and gnarly, sticky goodness.

This gorgeous, simple salad is perfect for a light spring or summer lunch option, or as part of the best BBQ spread of your whole freaking life. Trust us.

We're not kidding when we say this takes 10 minutes. The speediest "risotto" you'll ever make thanks to swapping out risotto rice for orzo.

Hot sauce butter combined with garlicky and lemony goodness makes this one of our favourite ways to cook asparagus.

If you're someone who's afraid of cooking seafood at home, cod is the fish for you. It's basically impossible to mess up: It cooks quickly, is hard to overcook (unless you really forget about it), and is easy to flavour however you want.

If you do it right, homemade beef bourguignon is a labour of love. It's certainly not a quick weeknight dinner. BUT, that doesn't mean it's hard.

These braised chicken thighs are no joke. They’re super flavourful, fall-off-the-bone tender, and thankfully you only need ONE pan to make them!

When you're looking for something comforting and carb-y, nothing fits the bill like a good carbonara. This version adds a bit of protein by way of sautéed chicken breasts, making it the perfect quick and easy weeknight dinner.

Super easy to throw together, this tasty side uses roasted asparagus served with a fiery buffalo sauce and blue cheese dip.

This is a brilliant beginner recipe because few spices are required; garlic and ginger deliver the personality and fresh green chillies bring the heat.

The bell pepper is an excellent vessel for stuffing meat, rice, and, of course, cheese. It's strong enough to hold its shape in the oven, and the flavour is subtle enough to go well with just about anything. This is our favourite recipe but the customisation options are endless.

This easy chorizo and cod traybake is so delicious. The added extra step of the herb crumb is crucial in my opinion. Dipped into the chorizo oil gives this cod an added layer of deliciousness.

This recipe doubles as a blueprint for your own delicious chicken thigh creation! Switch up the citrus and herbs, add your favourite dry spices, or load it up with tons of garlic, shallots, or onions, if that's your style.

Don't write off making a tagine if you don't own a tagine pot. We made ours in a Dutch oven and it comes out perfectly! The lamb simmers until it is completely tender, while making your kitchen smell like a fancy Moroccan restaurant.

The key to acing this dish is to cook the asparagus until its tips are crispy and stalks slightly blistered. The slight char will add a whole other dimension to the enticing flavour of this vegetable.

Go slow with the aubergine. You don't want to overcrowd the pan or burn it. You want to gently cook it in plenty of oil so that they turn deeply golden and slightly crispy all over. Just try not to eat all of them before they make it into the pasta!

Pork stroganoff is such an easy, flavourful dinner to make. Using pork fillet is perfect because it's such a tender cut, and really easy to cook with. Load your stroganoff up with mushrooms, mustard and sherry for the most delicious meal.

If you need an excuse to get your slow cooker out, this is it! Let everything cook together for hours for the deepest, most satisfying beef stew you'll try.

Adding anchovies to all sorts of dishes automatically brings a ton of rich, salty flavour. And this comforting tomato pasta dish is no exception.

Here we swapped the meat with lentils to make this an even heartier vegetarian dish. It has a creamy bechamel sauce that goes on top that makes this dish the comfort food that it is.

We love, love, love coffee cake. Coffee gives such a great richness to sponge, and this espresso martini cake is no exception. I mean, adding Kahlua to a sponge mixture, what more could you want?

Is there anything better than chocolate-covered strawberries? We think not. They're at once indulgent and classy, romantic and a little cheesy.

Eton Mess is a classic, not to mention one of our favourite all-time desserts. So, we just had to come up with our own recipe, but this time - we've added a boozy spin.

Not only does it take five minutes to prep, we've added limoncello for a wonderfully-needed boozy boost which goes perfectly with the sweet zesty flavours in this pie.

This boozy ice cream recipe couldn't be easier to make with a minimal ingredients list and no churning!
