These burrito-style pesto chicken wraps are loaded with so much flavour and couldn’t be easier to make!
These truly are such a treat. You’d typically see something like this on a lunch menu, but honestly, they’re hearty enough to devour for dinner! Follow me…
Pesto Chicken
The heart and soul of these wraps is the chicken pesto, which if you haven’t guessed yet, is literally just chicken and pesto:
Chicken – I typically buy some cooked chicken breasts from the shop, although leftover chicken works perfectly here. Either way, you’ll want to dice it into small cubes.
Pesto – I whip up a half ba ..read more

If you take a little care in the preparation and cooking of the mighty chop, you’ll find it really does come out beautifully and takes on an array of delicious flavours. For this recipe we’ll be using boneless chops – these are loin chops, but steaks will work just as well.

You won’t believe how easy it is to make the most incredible salted caramel chicken!
Yes, this truly is as good as it sounds. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and savoury and I’m beyond excited to share the recipe with you! Follow me…
Crispy Caramel Chicken
We’re going to be using chicken thigh in this recipe for a couple of different reasons:
Tender – chicken thigh is much more forgiving in the sense that it’s more difficult to overcook than breast is. This means you can get a crispy coating without the chicken drying out.
Flavour – thigh is fattier and more flavoursome than breast.

This delicious asparagus pasta is creamy, full of flavour and beyond simple to make!
This is fast becoming one of my favourite pasta dishes (and you know how many I have!). Not only for its simplicity, but it’s got such a lovely, light and vibrant flavour. I think you’re going to love it ? Follow me…
Asparagus Pancetta Pasta
Like all good things in life, this dish starts by rendering down the fat of some pancetta. This process not only helps the pancetta crisp up, but the excess fat adds loads of flavour AND is perfect for frying the asparagus.
What kind of asparagus am I looking for?

Here I’ll show you a fun and delicious way to make puff pastry tacos!
I hope it goes without saying that I’m using the term ‘taco’ fairly loosely here ?. They are undoubtedly delicious either way. Plus, they couldn’t be easier to make! Follow me…
Beef Taco Mince
The filling is really simple to make. Here’s what you’ll need:
Beef – I recommend using lean mince, just so they don’t end up too oily. Because they’re cooked upside down, the cheese leaks a lot of oil, so we don’t want too much more added. If you only have very fatty mince, I recommend draining some of the oil away after you’ve frie ..read more

Here I’ll show you a really simple yet delicious way to dress up the mighty chicken breast!
This is truly what weeknight dinners are made of. Something that comes together in a pinch, uses minimal ingredients and tastes like a million dollars. Follow me…
Pan-Fried Chicken Breast
You really can’t go wrong with a sliced chicken breast recipe. Two chicken breasts divided through the centre to make 4 even-sized breasts truly make the easiest dinner.
Preparing the chicken
I like to get my chicken close to room temp before frying it. Although it’s somewhat disputed, I do find that it relaxes the me ..read more

Salmon makes such an awesome dinner for a couple of different reasons. Not only does it take on an array of different flavours, but it’s quick to cook and easy to prep. Today we’re going to be pan-frying it.
What kind of salmon should I use?
I recommend using boneless skinless fillets. I typically grab some from my local fishmonger, but nearly all supermarket ..read more

A simple selection of ingredients come together to create this beautiful tomato prawn pasta!

For this recipe we’ll be using fresh king prawns. I typically just grab some from the supermarket, which already come shelled and deveined.
Preparing the prawns
There are two important steps to prepping the prawns before you cook them:
Dry – The prawns will likely be stored in a bit o ..read more

Air Fryer Chicken Skewers
Before I started testing out this recipe I had never made skewers in the air fryer before. I had some reservations that they might not get a nice char on the outside without overcooking on the inside. However, they truly do come out so juicy and delicious!
What kind of chicken should I use?
We’ll be using boneless skinless chicken thighs. Whilst I haven’t tried using breast ..read more
