One-Pot Wonder Soup

This soup is hearty and comforting, made from pantry ingredients, and comes together in about half an hour. It can be very easily made vegan by leaving out the chicken and using vegetable stock. You can swap and change the beans to your personal preference. It is honestly delicious, no matter how I have made it.

I’m not going to pretend that this dish isn’t a bit of work, but trust me when I say it’s worth every second. From the crisp, delicious potato crust to the lush, flavour-packed filling, it’s a vegetarian show-stopper.

Aussie Ramen

Aussie Ramen

There is a dish that went viral on TikTok using ramen noodles and Asian-style sauces. I wondered what would happen if I reinvented it with some simple ingredients that I think every student would have in their pantry. Did I expect it to be one of the tastiest dishes I’ve made? No. Did I realise that I would now be tossing a bowl together whenever I didn’t feel like cooking a full meal? No. Did both of these things happen? Absolutely! Seriously, try it yourself — it’s not just for students.

Spaghetti & Meatballs

Easy Spaghetti and Meatballs

Spaghetti and meatballs is comfort food personified, but what student has the time, money and fridge space to buy
a million ingredients to craft the perfect gourmet meatballs? I’m not a student, but this is still my favourite way to make fast and fabulous meatballs using a supermarket hack and minimal equipment. Show me a student who will say no to more time and money.

Salmon Tarator

A glorious entertaining dish that is served at room temperature, meaning you can have it cooked and ready to dress before your guests even arrive. Soft, perfectly cooked salmon is smothered in a delicious coating that combines fresh pops of flavour with rich and earthy spices.
