Date night in, coming up? There’s no better way to impress than with a home-cooked meal and with rising cost of living a night in to Netflix and chill after a good meal is ideal.
We’ve pulled together a selection of our favourite savoury recipes which are easy to cook, packed full of flavour and suitable for sharing between two people. From our favourite meat dishes such as a juicy steak served with crispy roasted potatoes and a fresh salsa verde, to lighter pasta dishes with an authentic Italian-style tomato sauce.
