It’s easy to fall into lunchtime monotony, eating similar foods every day. Lesley’s sushi style wraps use fragrant rice and smoked haddock to create a lunchbox treat that combines healthy ingredients with oriental flavour, all in a tasty Mission Original Deli Wrap.

Whipping something up out of leftovers and cupboard basics can be a challenge, but Lesley has come up with a delicious dish for those evenings when going to the supermarket is not an option. These potato open tarts use Mission Mini Wheat and White Deli Wraps, are very easy to prepare and can inspire you to create your own open tart recipes using a different choice of ingredients.

If you’re looking for something healthy for the family, this dish uses Mission Mediterranean Herb Deli Wraps and is a modern, tasty twist on a traditional family favourite, with a lot fewer calories!

This is a dish that happened by accident. I intended to make roast monkfish with a wild mushroom sauce, but had left the mushrooms in the shop. After a cupboard hunt I ended up with a tin of artichokes, spuds, butter, garlic, tomatoes, as well as my new monkfish and parsley…I cooked it all in one pan and a true favourite was born.

As a kid, coming home from school and smelling that Mum had made Hot Pot was one of THE highlights of my week. Even as I write I can smell the lamb, the gravy, imagine the crispy spuds and feel the tang of pickled cabbage or beetroot finishing the taste sensation off. One pot – a million memories!

“One of the best staples of one pot cooking has to be shepherd’s pie. Simple, tasty, piping hot. This hybrid will blow your mind. Imagine the marriage of Chinese duck with traditional shepherd’s pie – what beautiful kids they’d have . . . and here’s the proof”, Simon Rimmer

Once you’ve mastered the art of Thai curry paste you’ll never buy it again. It takes a bit of a shop to get all the gear at first, but all the big supermarkets sell Thai ingredients now, even fresh lime leaves. You won’t need all the paste, so keep it in the fridge in an airtight jar to use at a later date. Incidentally, try adding a dollop of the paste to creamy mashed potato . . . divine!
