I lived on very uninteresting soups in the run-up to my holiday at half term – using up any veg in the fridge, cooked in stock and whizzed smooth. Tedious.
However, I’m back, full of beans and determined to eat better and far more exciting food.
Healthy need not be boring!
Here are three recipes from the Quick After-Work cookbook; they taste amazing and are full of good ingredients.
Enjoy!

With so many gin brands to choose from why not try something different this weekend?
Here are five of our favourite tipples.

Infused with the remarkable Bulgarian Rosa Damascena and specially selected cucumbers from the finest producers. Distilled in Scotland
TREVETHAN CORNISH GIN
Bold in flavour with subtle citrus and floral notes. Includes botanicals sourced from our the hedgerows in the Cornish countryside.
OPIHR ORIENTAL SPICED GIN
Made in the oldest distillery in England, where the botanicals are married with fine English spirit to produce an exotic oriental spiced gin.
BARRA ATLANTIC GIN
The spirit of Barra people inspires this unique gin. The main botanical, carrageen seaweed, is collected wild on the shores of the Isle of Barra.
MASONS DRY YORKSHIRE GIN
Delicately soft juniper and lavender mix with fresh lime and coriander notes for a sweet, subtle flavour and a slightly dry finish.

With white chocolate, almonds, cherries and raspberry jam, these blondies are a little different to the norm and they only take 30 minutes to make.

And what a fabulous two decades it has been. I’m so lucky to work on such excellent products and in such a great team.
As it’s a very small team, I’ve experienced almost every task possible, from making the drinks, to sourcing props for photography, to deciding on cover designs, to recipe testing and even go-karting with milkmen!
Right: discussing ingredients at a photography shoot with food stylist Sarah Lewis.

How do I choose my favourite recipes? This was VERY difficult…
As you know, I’ve tasted many hundreds of delicious recipes over the 20 years, but I decided on these two recipes that I make most frequently at home.
Lemon Chicken
Delicious baked lemon chicken, topped with crisp pancetta and served with crispy potato wedges.
Gooey Gingerbread
This Gooey Gingerbread is much better than anything shop-bought and will be devoured with gusto!
