1. Teriyaki salmon with udon noodles
This teriyaki salmon is the ultimate Japanese-inspired midweek meal.
2. Grilled sweet potato tacos with spicy mayo
Sweet potato is deliciously meaty and sweet if you give it a good grilling. You’ll know it’s ready to flip when it starts to bead and sweat on top – just like steak.
If you want to up the protein on this dish and make it more substantial, feel free to add some refried black beans. You’ll find queso fresco (soft Mexican cheese) at specialty delis, but if you can’t find it, use quark, or just add extra yoghurt to serve.
3. Easy pasta primavera
This pasta is one I love to make in spring, giving all the fresh, delicious vibes. I love packing veggies into a dish, and this pasta is a great example of this. Feel free to switch up some of the veggies here for other spring produce you have on hand.
4. Sticky turkey stir-fry
If you’re looking for an easy weeknight meal, this turkey stir-fry recipe is a simple and delicious option. Turkey mince is a great lean alternative to beef and pork mince while still being full of juicy flavor. The warm Japanese udon noodles make a delicious, chewy addition and the perfect thing to slurp up all that rich, sticky sauce.
5. Pork mince salad (larb) in roti
Talk about a party in your mouth! Larb has always been a favorite for me, but partnered with my favorite flat bread, fresh herbs, a good schmear of hoisin and some pork crackle to finish things off… Well, I could call this one of my favorite bites of food. Feel free to sub in crumbled tofu, chicken, turkey or beef mince or even some firm white fish. It’s an everything sort of recipe; all proteins allowed.

This simple, speedy soup packs in big flavour in a short time. The smokiness of the salmon, the saltiness of the feta, the anise of the fennel and a bright citrus hit are a glorious combo that’ll have you coming back for seconds.” – Emma Knowles..
