Air Fryer Kimchi Fritters

Here's another 15 Minute Feast from my brand new cookbook! This is a brilliant brunch recipe. I like to serve these fritters with a fried egg and lots of spicy sauce. Kimchi is a great fermented food to get into our diet, and you can get some great ones in the supermarket these days. I love anything that has a bit of a kick to it. Add vegetables like courgettes and carrots and you’ve a very tasty, filling and healthy meal. These have the added bonus of being gluten free.

Slow Cooker Cowgirl Stew

This slow cooker cowgirl stew recipe is from page 76 of The Ultimate Slow Cooker Cookbook. What I love about this recipe is that it is so very versatile and easy to customise. You also do not need to add the hot dogs; instead you could leave them out and just have this as a classic bean stew. I like to serve my stew with a crusty baguette, but it is also great on a jacket potato. It’s a classic winter warmer that the whole family will enjoy. As the weather gets cooler, nothing beats a comforting bowl of stew for dinner to fill your belly and warm you up. And using the slow cooker makes preparing this hearty stew even easier. My son is not a big fan of kidney beans, so when I am cooking it for him, I simply leave them out and double up on the baked beans. But this is what I love about cooking: mixing things up to suit different tastes. My recipes are just a guide so feel free to customise them to your tastes!

Air Fryer Sweet Potato & Chickpea Curry

I just love the colour of sweet potatoes no matter how they are cooked, they are just so vibrant. I use frozen sweet potatoes for this curry, but you can of course use fresh ones if you prefer. The same goes for the spinach, if you don’t have fresh then pop in some nuggets of frozen spinach and add a little more cooking time.

Slow Cooker Shakshuka

When I was first introduced to shakshuka a few years back, I instantly fell in love with the flavours. I have since tried many variations of this classic dish but this is my favourite. For me, it’s such a perfect way to start a weekend, along with a steaming-hot coffee and the morning paper. Sheer bliss. You can also find this recipe on page 38 of The Ultimate Slow Cooker Cookbook!
