Minced Beef Hash

Corned Beef Hash is one of those dishes that is comforting and perfect for a chilli day but it is high in fat, so high in syns. This version using extra lean mince beef is a wonderful healthy spin on a firm family favourite.

Aromatic Thai Fish Cakes

Fish cakes are great for a starter, main course or even a snack. These are a little different from the traditional, humble fish cake with their subtle aromatic Thai flavors. These were made for a Slimming World Taster, so made as small bites suitable for a buffet.

Roast Potatoes

Everyone loves a roast potato but when cooked in oil or goose fat they really eat into your syn allowance. These potatoes though are syn free, making the perfect partner to your Roast Dinner.

Aparagus and Tender Stem Broccoli Risotto

People think risotto is really complicated but it really is very simply and versatile. It's great for using up bit's and pieces in the fridge, vegetables, meat, poultry and fish. This risotto is one of my favourite's and enjoy it equally with salmon, sea bass or chicken for something different and to please the other half. I tend to serve it on a bed of baby spinach which wilts down with the heat from the plate and risotto but doesn't go mushy as it would if cooked fully within the dish.

Chicken and Mushroom Stroganoff - Can Be Made Vegetarian

Stroganoff is a great dish and can easily be adapted to vegetarian by simply omitting the chicken or for a more meaty recipe the chicken can be substituted with beef or pork. It goes well with most side dishes too, from mash potatoes and red cabbage to pasta and a side salad.
