We're calling it: Brinner (breakfast for dinner) is the ultimate throw-together meal. So before you go reaching for the takeaway menu, reassess the pantry. Eggs? Why not a creamy eggs benedict, or hearty cheesy sausage bake? Loaf of crispy bread? Load it up for a gooey croque-monsieur, or use it to top nourishing baked beans and tomato pots. And why not whip up a stack of pancakes for dinner? They'll taste even better once the sun goes down.

From hearty Winter soups to an easy red chicken curry and delicious beef ragu, you'll have dinner on the table in no time with our collection of Women's Weekly recipes.

Italian food is all about flavour and simplicity but it is so much more than a margherita pizza or spaghetti bolognese. We still have all the classics from our traditional lasagnes, quick and easy risottos to our mouthwatering pizzas but we've included some lesser-known favourites that certainly won't disappoint. With roast pork and tantalising goat's cheese pappardelle, you'll be singing amore all night. You can have many of our delicious recipes on the table in thirty minutes or less!
