Mexican rice stuffed capsicums

Cooking for vegetarians and meat-eaters in the one household? This easy recipe is one of those that can do double-duty, satisfying both camps - it's filled with a mixture of rice, beans, tomato, corn and cheese which makes for good protein for the vegetarians AND it can become a delicious accompaniment to a plain grilled steak or fish for the carnivores.

Roasted Italian vegetables

A flavoursome accompaniment to grilled meat or fish.

Vietnamese salad

This salad is a fresh and zesty accompaniment to grilled fish on the barbecue. It has almost no fat, heaps of fibre and we've kept the salt down by being frugal with the fish sauce - a little goes a long way! If you haven't got a turnip, it still turns out fine.

Salad of roasted vegetables and chick peas

This is a wonderful hearty salad to serve with a barbecue on a hot summer's day. It appeals to men who often want something more filling than the usual lettuce -and-cucumber combination. If you have vegetarian guests, it also doubles as a main meal salad for them.

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.

Spinach and cheese filo pie
This spinach and cheese pie made using thin layers of filo pastry is one of my all-time favourites. The saltiness of the fetta is mellowed by substituting half ricotta cheese (or you can use a soft farm cheese). Make it with either spinach or silverbeet (kale) - they both work well.
