Create restaurant-quality food at home with little effort

Stuck for a babysitter again? Create a fabulous date night at home where you can ‘eat out, in’. For a more rewarding and less costly night ‘out’ make restaurant-quality food at home with a just few choice ingredients and little effort.

With inspirational recipes, handy QR code shopping lists and easy-to-follow instructions cooking great food for two needn’t be arduous. In fact, quite the opposite, it can be a real pleasure.

You can rustle up Pan-Fried Sea Bass & Scallops in just 15 minutes, or for meat-lovers cook colourful Lamb with Pesto & Ratatouille or flavourful Stir-Fried Pork.

To finish bake creamy Apricots in Buttermilk Custard or imagine you’re dining in a Parisian café with Crêpes and Brandy Marmalade Sauce

These recipes have been specifically
written for two so there’s no need to
worry about wasted ingredients and
conundrums, such as how to halve an egg!

Brand New Cookbook!

Just For One Or Two cookbook

Tadaa! I’m so excited to reveal our brand new cookbook – Just for One or Two.

If you love good food, cooked simply, and often cook for just one or two people then this cookbook is a must.

According to the Office for National Statistics, almost half of all families in the UK (46%) no longer share an evening meal every day. But that doesn’t mean to say we have to get by on junk food and microwave meals. Just For One or Two contains an array of delicious meals for one or two people. Each carefully crafted recipe uses readily available ingredients, requires little effort and tastes amazing.

As a busy working parent, I appreciate it’s not always possible for families to sit down and eat together, particularly during the week when other commitments can get in the way.
