Main Meals

Sitting down to an evening meal with your family should be a relaxing, enjoyable experience. And with our hints 'n' tips at your disposal, making that meal in the first place should be just the same.

Remember, cooking should be fun. Don’t worry if things don’t turn out exactly as you were hoping. There’s always next time!


A Casserole Classic

There’s nothing like a wholesome casserole to give you a great warm feeling! And here’s an idea to make your favourite casserole even better.

When it’s almost ready to be removed from the oven, sprinkle it with grated cheese and bread crumbs moistened with a little melted butter and continue baking until the topping is melted and bubbling. Delicious!



Pizza Perfection

Give a simple Margherita Pizza some of your own personal treatment in the kitchen. Experiment with extra toppings such as fresh mushrooms, peppers, pepperoni or other deli meats, pineapple, olives or fruits of your choice. Put it this way: If you like it, pop it on the pizza and see what you end up with.



Roast Chicken with a Twist

Add some zest to your roast chicken. Before putting it in the oven, rub it with plenty of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Then also rub in a little salt. Pop it in the oven just as you always do, but this time when you take it out you’ll definitely notice something new in that gorgeous roast flavour.



For a Moister Roast

To prevent your Roast Lamb or other joint from drying out while cooking, the meat can be rubbed with oil prior to roasting and then occasionally basted with the pan juices while the meat is cooking in the oven.



Something Fishy

When shallow frying your favourite fish, why not coat it in seasoned flour or egg – this will not only hold the fish together, it will also keep it moist while frying.
