“I love cooking food that makes me feel good, inside and out. You don’t have to spend a lot of money or time in the kitchen to eat well. Use everyday ingredients, but add your own twist, as I did with the broccoli – blending it makes for an interesting new texture and adds colour to your plate.
“Pack in as much flavour as possible with simple techniques, such as roasting tomatoes on a rack over a baking tray to intensify their flavour and catch all the delicious juices. I also like to make things ahead of time, so the flavours can develop – the steak, for example, really benefits from being wrapped up with its juices for a few hours”. – Hannah Lewry

5. Steak with cashew nut cream
This dish is so good, it made the TASTE team’s top pick for the Jan/Feb 2022 issue. The reason? The “impressiveness-to-effort” ratio of the recipe. There’s very little to do in terms of prep, but it looks like something you’ve been slaving over for hours.
