Dinner

The giant timpano (spaghetti pie) in the movie Big Night is one of those dishes we'd love to eat, but it looks too overwhelming to make! Instead, we've created a magnificent homemade mushroom meat lasagna.

A quick roast of feta and broccoli—alongside some chicken and almonds—brings out their strong, surprisingly complementary flavours.

Add pomegranate seeds for bursts of crimson sweetness in this healthy rice side-dish—pistachios contribute an unexpectedly delicious crunch.

This makes a big batch of comforting chicken soup. Enjoy a bowl now, then tuck the rest in the freezer for a soothing homemade supper down the road.

A bed of prunes and herbs (thyme and bay leaves) along with some some white wine and sugar creates the tenderest beef.
