Big news: Family Favourites are here! Just over a year ago we launched our family recipe boxes, featuring a range of dishes both kids and adults would enjoy. And our chefs have been busy creating even more family classics with our usual healthy spin.
Thanks to your feedback, we’ve now introduced five new crowd-pleasing recipes to the menu every single week that even the fussiest in the family will love.
Nothing beats gathering around the table and tucking into a delicious meal together. From chicken kiev and veggie bolognese one week, to fish & chips and cottage pie the next, simply look out for the Family Favourite roundel on the menu.
Here’s a sneak peek of just 10 of our newest creations available on the Family menu now – and scroll right to the bottom for the recipe we’ll be cooking live with Fearne Cotton!
Crispy tofu Katsu curry with edamame rice
Golden tofu steaks – dusted in cornflour and pan-fried – are smothered in a mild Japanese-style curry sauce, fragranced with garlic, ginger and silky coconut milk. Edamame beans, crispy kale and spring onions dot brown rice.
Chicken tikka masala & rice with cucumber salad
Curries don’t get much more crowd-pleasing than chicken tikka masala! Our take, featuring free-range British chicken and coconut milk, is served over healthy brown rice, with a crisp cucumber salad on the side.
Roast chicken dinner
Here’s a simple roast that children will love and is easy enough to whip up mid-week. Free-range British chicken meets roasted potatoes and carrots, tender green beans and a rich red onion gravy.
Creamy fish pie with crispy topping
Sustainably sourced fish, golden leeks, velvety cashew cream and a crisp mashed potato topping sprinkled with cashew parmesan… no wonder families love our ‘mindful’ spin on fish pie, served with tender green beans.
Supergreen pesto pasta
This simple chickpea penne dish is a celebration of green: spinach, courgette, sugar snap peas, spring onions and basil pesto all star. A garnish of chopped, toasted almonds adds moreish crunch.
Classic beef burger with sweet potato fries
Even the pickiest little eaters love burgers – especially when they’re made from our grass-fed British beef and served with fries and sweetcorn. We wrap the patties in lettuce rather than buns, and top with gherkins.
Lentil cottage pie with potato & parsnip topping
Earthy lentils soak up flavour from porcini mushrooms and sundried tomatoes in our mindful take on this child-pleasing classic. Silky mashed potato and parsnip top it off, filling hungry bellies.
Lightly battered fish & chips
Who doesn’t love fish and chips? Our healthy take stars lightly battered, sustainably sourced cod fillets, mixed potato fries and lashings of zingy vinegar. We sneak in a light garden salad on the side, too.
Jackfruit chilli con carne, rice & guacamole
The hearty texture of jackfruit makes it perfect for this kid-friendly chilli, gently warmed with garlic and our own spice mix. Beans make it even more filling, while limey guacamole adds creamy contrast.
