How good are leftovers? One thing my Mum recently reminded me to do is to make double-batch dinners for leftovers the next day or to freeze! This week’s meal plan kicks off with the perfect meal to cook in bulk, Slow Cooked Beef Ragu.

Roasted Chicken with Gravy Recipe

Roasted Chicken with Gravy

This Roasted Chicken with Gravy recipe is so delicious that I probably make it once a fortnight! Chicken, potatoes and carrots are flavoured with lemon, herbs and garlic, then cooked together in the oven in one pan. The prep takes just 10 minutes of your time and the oven does the rest of the work. A gorgeous gravy is quickly and easily made at the end from the pan juices, chicken stock and flour, which takes the eating experience to the next level.

My Vietnamese Pork Bowl recipe is a favourite with the whole family and is on the table in less than 30 minutes. Bursting with flavours and textures, the dish features minced (ground) pork cooked in a caramelised sticky sauce along with noodles, spring rolls (from the freezer!), fresh veggies and herbs. A simple nuoc cham dressing is drizzled over at the end for the perfect finishing touch.
