This is a dish packed with flavour which definitely tastes better after a night in the fridge. The meatballs are rich and smoky with chipotle, cumin, allspice, cloves and cinnamon, while red wine, dark chocolate, rich beef stock, cinnamon and bay add more depth to the sauce. With some fluffy white rice, a refreshing and zingy lime, black bean and pepper salsa, a dollop of cooling sour cream and some creamy avocado slices all add more texture and layers of flavour. One of my favourite recipes I’ve made recently. Make a big batch for your freezer and your future self will thank you later.

This recipe has all the flavours you create from a Mexican meal, minus the unhealthier parts. Its great for leftovers and a really delicious and easy way to get some of your 5 a day. The smoky beans go so well with the sweetness of the sweet potato, while a punchy and creamy homemade guacamole adds more colour and flavour. Topped with salty cheese and cooling sour cream, this is a go to of mine if you’ve had a heavy weekend and need some veggie goodness in your life.

This is one of my favourite things to make when I have people over for dinner. Everything can be prepared in advance and ready to go and all served in the middle of the table for everyone to get stuck into. The slow cooked pork with chipotle, orange, cinnamon, and star anise is so full of flavour and just melts in the mouth. All the other elements add plenty of different flavours and textures to make sure that every mouthful is a proper taste sensation. Can’t wait to share the recipe for this one tomorrow - this is one you’re going to need to save. Would make a fabulous dinner for in-between Christmas and New Year as well when everyone needs a bit of spice.

These prawn tacos are full of vibrant, fresh, summery flavours to wake up your tastebuds. The spice mix on the prawns can be used on salmon, chicken, steak, sweet potatoes, anything you fancy. With some sharp and sweet pickled red onion, creamy avocado, fruity and spicy salsa and crunchy smoky corn, each mouthful is a flavour sensation. A lot of the elements can also be made ahead and would make a great Friday night meal if you’ve got friends round with the prawns to be made last minute. A special twist on your usual midweek tacos.

I created this nacho recipe for Albert Bartlett which makes sure the potatoes are the star of the show. Everyone loves nachos but I find some recipes a little heavy and greasy for me. This vegetarian take on the classic party dish is much lighter and healthier than your regular versions thanks to the crispy garlic and paprika potato chips - they also just taste so much better. The smoky beans with plenty of cumin, coriander and garlic are delicious, the fiery salsa adds some heat while cooling sour cream helps to cool everything down. Full of crunch and plenty of flavour, these are perfect for sharing.
