Spicy Thai larb salad with chicken or pork mince
This salad is one you'll want to run on repeat—packed with flavour, quick and easy. It's brilliant in summer and a great warm salad for winter. As soon as you get the hang of it, make it your own—more fish sauce will up the salt, more lime if you love sour. Coriander and mint are your base herbs but we often add basil. Or swap all these out for Vietnamese mint and Thai basil. Replace the chilli flakes for fresh chilli. The honey for brown sugar. The shallots for red onion. Skip the toasted rice. It's a recipe that's ready to be turned into your own.

Chicken mince pesto pasta
This quick dinner recipe can be made in just 15 minutes. It’s a crowd pleaser so we’d recommend you double the recipe and have a few containers of leftovers in the fridge or freezer. We love it with nutty wholemeal or spelt spirals where the sauce can really coat the pasta. We’ll often add some extra green in as well—use up leftover veg from the fridge or add some frozen spinach.

Baharat spiced lamb rub
This spice rub pairs brilliantly with any kind of lamb—loin chops, chump (rump) chops, cutlets and even as a roast rub. We love it with a fresh and acidic salad with lots of lemon but you could add some couscous to the mix if you want to stretch the recipe even further.

Simple chicken thighs
Chicken thighs are an incredibly forgiving and tasty cut of meat that go well in just about any recipe—from hot plates to curries they are the perfect cut to have on hand in the freezer and this pantry ingredient recipe is just the thing when you are at a loss on what to cook mid-week. We love these thighs served with a salad or noodles, in a wrap with whatever you have leftover in the fridge or as the protein in a Vietnamese-style bahn mi roll.
