What’s in Store

THIS WEEK’S MEALPLAN begins with a beautiful breakfast sensation - a dreamy Dutch-style pancake filled with Chantilly cream and juicy caramelized pineapple. It follows with a selection of my favourite recipes from the sublime chicken tagine to the mouth-watering Thai Green Curry and Vietnamese Beef Banh Mi.

I recommend freezing portions of the homemade Curry Paste as it will come in handy next time you reach for the takeaway menu! Simply defrost the paste in some boiling coconut milk and cook as usual. You’ll have a gorgeous meal quicker than your local can deliver.

If you’re in a hurry, the One-pot Pasta is the recipe for you, and if you’re after Edinburgh’s finest, try the chocolate scones - I’ve based the recipe on the award-winning version I learnt to make while working there 10 years ago.

Don’t forget to read the tips section before you go shopping as they’ll really help you to save money. As with last week, basic ingredients are not included in the list so make sure you always have chicken, beef or vegetable stock cubes, salt and pepper, caster sugar and olive oil.

Happy cooking!
