What is new

This update adds 10 recipes for busy UK households, from quick starts to dependable evening meals. There are two breakfasts, two lunches and six dinners, with plenty of lemon, herbs, rice, beans and gentle spice to keep the week varied without making it complicated.

Breakfasts

Breakfast has one soft, spoonable bowl and one crisp, savoury option. Creamy Raspberry Coconut Quinoa Porridge with Chia brings raspberries, banana and coconut milk into a warmer start, while Golden Mushroom Spinach Breakfast Quesadillas with Cheddar are there for mornings that need eggs, mushrooms and a proper toasted edge.

Lunches

Lunch keeps things packable. Roasted Pepper Butter Bean Pitta Breads with Lemon Parsley Slaw lean vegan and crunchy, while Tuna Cucumber Rice Salad Boxes with Dill and Lemon are sturdier, with rice, sweetcorn, peas and a light yoghurt dressing.

Dinners

Dinner moves from soft and comforting to bright and quick. Coconut Black Bean Sweet Potato Stew with Lime Rice and Tomato Lentil Orzo with Spinach and Feta cover the vegetable-led end of the week, Harissa Cod Chickpea Couscous brings gentle heat, Golden Halloumi Courgette Rice Skillet adds salty edges, and Chicken Pepper Fajita Rice plus Beef Tomato Ragu give you two familiar crowd-pleasers.
