Sarah’s favourite
We asked Sarah Drabble, who has written many of our cookbooks, to share her favourite recipe from this one with us:
My favourite is the chicken hotpot. It’s made with everyday ingredients that I always have in and it’s really simple, but it’s packed full of warming flavour – it makes great comfort food. I often make big batches and pop extra portions in the freezer for a quick meal on busy days.

Sarah’s favourite
We asked Sarah Drabble, who writes some of our cookbooks, to share her favourite recipe from this one with us:
It’s got to be lasagne with aubergine! Everyone loves a pasta supper, as it’s great for when people come over or you can make a batch and freeze some portions for later. But by switching out traditional lasagne sheets for sliced aubergine, this dish packs in more vegetables and is much lower in calories.

Alfresco Dining was really useful, because I had some friends round for lunch outside in the garden. I’d never had much success with wraps in the past, but your instructions made it so easy. The houmous and beetroot salsa wraps were absolutely delicious and enjoyed by all.
