Alight dudebros, This one's an absolute winner: I made it before getting completely w i l d on my Birthday and everyone really liked it and I think it's the only bit of the night I actually remember.

So, in the meantime, here's another recipe, which is quicker than … Continue reading Super Quick Lentil and Kale Dahl: £0.34 per serve

It's 20 degrees outside (in SCOTLAND), so subsequently my brain decided it would like a hearty and warming chicken stew. However, I have made it more summery by calling it Italian and adding basil, suncream*, and tomatoes. If you want to omit the chicken, the sauce is pretty substantial and delicious as it is - … Continue reading Hearty Italian Chicken – £0.89 per serve
