Fennel, Feta, Orange & Pistachio Salad

Sometimes when you are roasting meats or perhaps creating a series of rich dishes, you want a single salad that will refresh the palate beautifully and provide you with the right kind of flavour to pair with almost anything. This is exactly that salad, and the combination of ingredients is just as wonderful as an accompaniment to meatless dishes, such as stews, pies and quiches.

Bloody Mary Spatchcocked Chicken

Spatchcocking a chicken is the genius trick to halve the cooking time of a bird, and why not? That means dinner is ready in 45 minutes – the same time it takes to dial for a takeaway and have it delivered.

Harissa & Lemon Roasted Chicken Thighs

This simple recipe is so handy and versatile, as it can be sliced and stuffed into pitta bread or wraps and sandwiches for lunchboxes, shredded and added to salads, or used in stir-fries or rice noodle dishes. But it also pairs perfectly with steamed rice or naan in the same way tandoori chicken does.
