Roasted Vegetable Buddha Bowl
Grain, roast vegetables, something green, something crunchy and a sauce that ties it together. A template more than a recipe.

Overnight Oats, Four Ways
Five minutes the night before and breakfast is done. One base ratio, four directions, no cooking at any point.

Smooth Hummus
The two steps that separate silky hummus from grainy: overcook the chickpeas with bicarbonate of soda, and whip the tahini with ice water first.

One-Pot Lemon Chicken Orzo
Orzo cooked risotto-style in stock alongside browned chicken thighs, finished with lemon, dill and feta. One pan, forty minutes.

Greek Salad (Horiatiki)
No lettuce, no vinegar, a whole slab of feta on top. Six ingredients and the only work is salting the tomatoes.

Crisp Falafel Wraps
Made from soaked dried chickpeas, never tinned — that is the one rule. Fried crisp and wrapped with salad and tahini.

Shakshuka
Eggs poached in a spiced pepper and tomato sauce, cooked and served in the same pan. Bread on the side is the whole plan.

Proper Guacamole
Avocado, lime, onion, chilli, coriander and salt, crushed in a bowl rather than blended. Ten minutes and no cooking.

Chilaquiles Rojos
Fried tortilla chips simmered briefly in a roasted chilli tomato sauce and topped with eggs. Breakfast built out of yesterday's tortillas.

Skillet Chicken Fajitas
Chicken and peppers charred hard in one pan, spiced with a rub you mix yourself, and piled into warm tortillas.

Tteokbokki (Spicy Korean Rice Cakes)
Chewy cylinders of rice cake in a sweet, glossy, properly hot gochujang sauce. Twenty minutes from a mostly cupboard shop.

Korean Fried Chicken
Fried twice, which is the whole secret, then tossed in a sticky gochujang glaze that somehow does not soften the crust.
