Cauliflower pasta

I love this recipe from the thrifty team at Money Saving Meals. They suggest you can ring the changes with this recipe simply by using a different cheese or herb for flavouring.

Easy chicken and pasta salad

Whip up this quick summer salad for a lunch or light dinner - easy if you've got leftover cooked pasta. And it works with all sorts of ingredients. See some of the variations you can try below.

Pasta with tuna, capers and lemon

Try this quick and easy recipe based on pasta plus a can of tuna. Best of all, it gives your omega-3s a boost!

Grilled chicken breast with julienne salad

This julienne salad of tomato, onion and coriander is very versatile and will dress up a simple grill or BBQ.

Grilled lamb cutlets with currant & pine nut pilaf

This is a simple and tasty pilaf that goes well with just about any kind of red meat.

Dead-simple Mediterranean veal

Here's my favourite quick-and-easy dinner recipe. It's made in minutes and will have family and friends asking for it time and again. You can vary this dish by adding thin slices of eggplant or replacing the grated mozzarella with slices of baby bocconcini.

Pork and Asian greens stir-fry

The secret to stir-frying is the heat. You need a really high heat to cook the ingredients quickly and prevent them stewing in their own juices. That way your stir-fries will always be fresh and crisp, not limp and soggy.

One-Pot Indian chicken and rice

This makes a big pot of lovely rice with chicken pieces and vegetables, enough to feed an army (or hungry teens!). Just make sure you start with a large enough dish or pot.

Brown rice salad with apricots and pine nuts

Try this lovely slightly-sweet salad as a side dish to simple grilled chicken pieces or even pork. The pine nuts give a nice contrast to the softness of the rice, while the onions counter-balance the sweetness of the apricots. Yum!

Bircher swiss muesli

This famous oat breakfast makes a delicious way to take the goodness of both oats and fruit. It makes a filling breakfast - nice on those mornings when you don't want hot oats.

Lentil-bol

Mel Kettle, one of my Twitter pals and a serious foodie, has given me this great recipe: "I love lentils. And I really don't cook with them often enough. And I don't know why. They are easy to cook, cheap, full of fibre and other stuff nutritionists love, low in calories, and really, really yummy!"

Thai Beef Salad

Recipe by Mel Kettle.

Cold chilly days in winter are not really the time for salad, but I'm trying to be healthy and lose weight. So salads it is! This one is a favourite - it's sooo easy and so full of flavour. And if you add extra chilli it's actually quite warming! Also gorgeous as leftovers for lunch the next day.

French-style grated carrot salad

I love this simple carrot side salad which I first tasted in Lyon in France. I've modified it slightly from Saveur.com. You can see the original at their website at www.saveur.com.

The trick is to use a mandolin type grater so you get a long squarish grate. I like to add a little parsley for colour but you can omit this if you like. The carrot salad looks stunning on a buffet of other salads - it's a great contrast to the usual green leaves or tomato-cucumber types. The oil in the dressing is important as it assists the absorption of the beta-carotene which is fat-soluble.

Chicken chilli con carne

This makes a good change from the usual beef chilli. It is lower in fat and has a lighter flavour. Or try turkey mince if you can get it. Thanks to the kidney beans, this recipe is high in fibre with a low GI.
