You can control what ingredients go in your meal, especially the salt, sugar & fat content, which in turn will keep the calories a lot lower than a ready meal, takeaway or restaurant prepared version.

Creamy Vegetable Korma Curry

Sublime curry full of goodness and taste, rich and creamy.

I added the optional ground almonds and chickpeas and used natural coconut yoghurt. I also added a little more chilli.
For tea tonight with enough to freeze for next week. Better than any take away and healthier so will cook this again.Thanks Bill and Faye.

You know exactly what is in your food. By using natural ingredients it is the best for health, no additives preservatives salt or sugar. The preparation is fun, you can add or take away ingredients to taste. By cooking your own you can cook enough to freeze a portion down for another day saving on time.

This dish is another delicious one. Nutritious and quick to make. I added extra garlic, but not necessary. Perfect for tea tonight for two with another portion going into the freezer.

I used lentils instead of beans. Served with cous cous & topped with hallumi cheese.

Tend to use ingredients I have rather than buy specifics if I am not going shopping. For example lentils instead of beans.

Exceptional dish, full of goodness with a deep lasting taste. A mix of textures. Nice and easy to cook. One portion for us tonight and another in the freezer for next week. Never had before but again it is going on my favourites list.

Sweetcorn Chowder.

I used fresh chillies and added extra garlic to taste. I also thickened with a medium potato, chopped and cooked in the microwave. Not necessary, optional. I would use a bouillon, vegan, for the vegetable stock next time instead of a vegetable cube as a healthier alternative.

# data[].attributes.body
I used frozen garlic, 🧄 frozen mixed peppers, 🫑 dried mixed chillies 🌶 & added red lentils to help thicken it a little.

Sarah-
Creamy vegetable korma curry in the process of cooking. Was lovely. My mum and partner also enjoyed it thanks.

# data[].attributes.body
You have more control in what is included in your meal such as added salt etc. It’s fun to do and you are learning more skills. Helps you to try new ingredients and foods. It’s more nutritious. It can be more cost effective and is good for portion control too. You can also if you have some left over freeze some so it’s plenty for more than one meal.

# data[].attributes.body
This is another exceptionally good dish. Again easy to make and nutritious. Very tasty. A first again for me. We had half for tea last night served warm with a salad and baked potato and will have the other half tonight cold with salad and fried sweet potato. Wow!

Crusted red onion and Corgette Quich

I added garlic to taste. The juice from the corgette, which surprised me as it was slightly bitter and quite hot, went into my smoothie with other greens and will last a few days.
Also baked some gluton free sugarless cake and biscuits in the oven at the same time. Worked out really well.

Less preservatives added to increase shelf life. Plus you can vary a dish next time to suit your individual taste. Ken.

This was great when I finally got it cooked, I'm not sure the potatoes were supposed to be al dente, I didn't know I could do that. Everyone enjoyed it and I have instructions to cook it again

This is the veggie chilli with cheese. I didn't enjoy this one as much as the korma, also my family didn't like it so much either because of the chilli powder. I reduced the amount of chilli powder deliberately but it was still too much for them. Its a pity because I usually like a chilli.

I am much more aware of swapping ingredients for healthier options and using alternatives to courgettes - which there is an art to cooking well

I added red split lentils to this to give it more body. It was sweet. I had 2 bowls of it

I used 1 courgette and added broccoli instead. Next time I make this I will use a bigger dish

Mediterranean bean soup - I switched out beans for lentils, add chickpeas at end and as I am not a fan of cooked spinach just added that at very end so really still raw.

# data[].attributes.headline
Served with raw spinach and toasted pumpkin seeds, should have added bit more water and chopped up raw spinach.

vegetable korma - I added in some chickpeas and spinach at the end of cooking time. Main vegetables were cauliflower, peppers, courgettes. I did not use enough spice initially so made a note not to underdo it next time. Will add this to my list of recipes for the future as it was good and easy to make.

Tastes better and is healthier as you can control content of dish ensuring you have quality vegetables for example. You can adjust sugar and salt according to your taste and dietary needs. Cooking at be a family event and relaxing to do.

This turned out well. I added peppers, courgette, cauliflower, peas and potatoes. I did not put in enough spice or coconut milk at the start so had to add later.

Turkey meatballs with marinara sauce.
I think I will add more flavouring to meatball mix next time or find a better stuffing mix. Also need to remember to cut veg all to roughly same size. Otherwise tastes good, will do this recipe again.

# data[].attributes.body
Italian meatballs: liked the veg of peppers and onion will not add to it but will add seasoning to meatball mix next time also pesto a little too strong for me so will use less.

# data[].attributes.body
Italian meatballs: protein, veg, a little fat. I will eat as it with stirfry vegetables I don't need pasta as well.

A good read if you are interested! "The land where the lemons grow" by Helena Attlee. Its about the history of Italy and influence of lemons on the politics, economy and crime.

Meatballs in vegetable and garlic sauce Pam Rigby

# data[].attributes.body
I loved making this dish. I realise the sauce is quite thick, so I will add water to thin it down a little when it is re-heated.
I used steak mince as the local supermarket did not stock minced turkey.
I would like to try the turkey though. I am having this with spaghetti.

# data[].attributes.body
Here’s an alternative to meat balls.

I used a vege burger mix with water, egg and coated in garlic and herb powder with flour for the balls.

The sauce was onion, garlic, oregano, thyme and sage, with celery, leek, cauliflower and celery soup.

Delicious, thank you.

You know exactly what is going in your dish!
For me, it is an approach, having watched my Mum.
I like shopping for the different ingredients and looking at the options.
I can try to keep the fat levels under control and get a good blend of colour, vitamins and minerals,

# data[].attributes.body
Economical. Control over what you eat - keep salt & sugar low plus additives. Easier to add vegetables. More variety. Less waste.

# data[].attributes.body
You can control what you are including in your meal such as the salt,sugar and fat content and extra additives which then makes the meal more nutritious and better for your health. You are learning new skills and recipes so it’s fun and you can get more portions out of the meal to then cook for more people or freeze it or eat the next day.

# data[].attributes.body
I added potato in to make the dish a little thicker. Also added a small amount of flour mixed with water. Nice consistency overall. I also added more chilli and paprika and black pepper.
Will try it with smoked haddock next time.

# data[].attributes.body
I used peppers, corn, onion and plan to add some shredded chicken. I think next time I will use less coconut milk and leave more pieces - mine is more soup less chowder but tastes good!

Did not last long before people started taking bites!

I added mix of cheddar and wensleydale the latter a bit salty for this recipe. Onion, pepper, some blanched cauliflower, mushroom, and spinach. Very tasty.

Cheese and eggs are protein, vegetables, a little oil. I might eat with a bit of toasted pita bread.

# data[].attributes.body
I divided the quiche into four as an experiment, two with normal cheese, one with cottage cheese and one with feta cheese.

They all taste really good.

I used carrot, red onion, broccoli and courgette. The spice was smoked paprika, and I added mixed herbs too, with salt and pepper.
