Roasted Vegetables and Herb Chicken – Recipe
I’ve mentioned many a time how much I love quick dinners, the occasional packet mix, and tasty food. Today I managed all 3 with a little help from my friend… Maggi.

Fennel & Bacon Pasta – Recipe
I love aniseed, and so fennel is one of my favourite herbs. I adapted this a little from a Good Food recipe I saw today, using things in my store cupboard. Most of the pasta I cook is quick, easy and mostly boring. This was anything but boring! It was ready in around 30 minutes. …
