    • debkellie on March 21, 2025

      Gave the rub a go on the wings, then air-fried for 25 mins @ 200C. Dressed with the sauce/marinade - delicious.

  • Roast vegetable lasagne

    • luluf on January 30, 2024

      The first time I made it, I used double the bechamel because it thickened so much I had to add a lot more milk. Family said it was the best veg lasagne they had ever tasted. The second time I used the specified amount of bechamel and it was not nearly as good. I also accidentally put some bechamel in every layer and not just on the top, the first time so I will be making with double the bechamel and putting it in every layer from now on

  • Wimmera grain salad

    • juliet_496g8u on March 22, 2026

      Love this recipe! Always popular at gatherings. Goes with everything and the leftovers are fabulous!

  • Vegetable tagine with olives, eggplant and chickpeas

    • hbakke on June 21, 2023

      Tasty tagine. I minced 2 jalapeños and added them to the onion and pepper mix instead of using 4 whole chiles later. This worked well in providing a bit of spice. The pops of briny olives were delicious paired with all the roasted vegetables. I was out of fresh herbs, but some parsley or cilantro would have been great sprinkled on top.

  • Garlic yoghurt sauce

    • hbakke on June 21, 2023

      Easy, tasty sauce to accompany this books tagine recipe.

Stock your fridge or freezer with nourishing dinners that can be made ahead

The evening, when time and patience are at their shortest, can be the worst part of the day to throw a meal together. And then there are the unexpected mouths to feed: a friend with a new baby, an elderly family member, a couple of uninvited ravenous teenagers.

Enter the Dinner Ladies, the fearsomely organised duo bringing delicious peace to busy households. They are the mistresses of stocked-up fridges and freezers thanks to a wide-ranging repertoire of nourishing, reliable make-ahead meals.

Family-friendly favourites dominate: there are spiced slow-cooked lamb shanks; warming curries; veggie-focused 'thinner dinners'; and easy desserts that may not make it as far as the table, such as apricot, raspberry and coconut crumble or chocolate mint honey pots.

Welcome the Dinner Ladies to your kitchen and reclaim your evenings.
