Family Favourites

These are the recipes that get requested again and again – the ones that make it into the regular rotation because everyone actually eats them (and maybe even asks for seconds). No bribing. No backup toast. Just proper, satisfying meals that the whole family can get around.

This collection is full of dinners that tick all the boxes: flavour-packed, budget-friendly, adaptable, and totally weekday appropriate. From Loaded Potato Taco Bowls (crispy spuds meet taco night = instant win), to Crispy Chicken Schnitzel Alfredo, which is basically your two favourite comfort meals in one glorious dish. There are Big Mac Tacos for when you’re craving fast food but want to keep it homemade, and Southern “Fried” Baked Chicken Strips that bring all the crunch with none of the deep-fryer drama. And for those nights when everyone needs something warm, slurpy and soothing? Deconstructed Wonton Soup has your back – no fiddly dumpling folding required.

These are the recipes that save dinner, save money, and might just save your sanity. Tried, tested and loved – by real families, picky eaters included.
