    I love the chilli con carne in a tortilla case, they are so tasty and because im vegetarian and have replaced the beef with quorn it is even lower in cals :)
    I can't wait to try more recipes, the puddings look so tasty!

    I love the paprika chicken, but also made the chicken jalfrezi which is lovely and the lasagne but with wholewheat lasagne sheets rather than leeks as it didn't really work out for me.

    Hi Tracey, I've made the prawn curry (needed a bit more spice in my opinion), the cottage pie, Italian meatballs, chicken Korma and the lamb stew so far. I would say the korma is my favourite and the meatballs. All the recipes are easy to follow. Happy cooking! :) x

    I don't have the book but I've done a couple of recipes off the BBC website. Love the chilli in the tortilla bowls and I too use Quorn instead of mince, not because I'm a vegetarian but because of the lower calories.
    I've also done the mince beef and potato pies using pizza base mix instead of pastry. Again I used quorn mince for even lower calories. I also used the pizza base mix for some chicken and leek pies, using lighter than light Philadelphia to make a creamy sauce.

    I have made the skinny muffins and the lemonade jelly - both of which are awesome! Looking forward to trying out some of the savoury recipes, especially the Spanish Chicken that EmmaR25 recommends!

    I've got Simple Tuna and Sweetcorn salad for lunch this week. Portions seem a bit off with it (gotta be realistic!) so split into 3.

    Made easy prawn coconut curry this weekend. LOVELY. However the recipe made LOADS, you'd get 4 portions easily from what they say serves 2!

    Crispy chicken is nice but doesn't keep too well, goes a bit soggy in the fridge so you have to re-crisp it in the oven if you have leftovers. Made 5 breasts from their recipe instead of 4.

    Also made the chilli con carne, very nice.

    Minted pea and feta omelette is lovely too.

    But I think my favourite has to be the scrambled eggs and salmon on english muffin. Divine!!

    This book is now my bible, ha.

    I have prepared 6 of the recipes and that will be the end. The recipes are amazing but I have a family of 6 and most of these recipes take way too long for a busy mom.

    There are so many better recipes out there that are easier and quicker to prepare
