Easy Weeknight Meals 10th Anniversary Edition: Simple, healthy, delicious recipes by My Food Bag and Nadia Lim

6 June

Few cookbooks earn the status of ‘kitchen classic’, but Easy Weeknight Meals by Nadia Lim has been a go-to in New Zealand homes for a decade!  Now, with its 10th anniversary edition, it features 16 brand-new recipes alongside the tried and tested favourites.

There’s delicious quick favourites for families, recipes for gourmets, vegetarians and, gluten-free and dairy-free options. Organised by season, you’re guided to use the best fresh produce available during spring, summer, autumn and winter. 

Our family favourites include the roast cauliflower quinoa with halloumi skewers, chimichurri steak and potato salad, vegan caramelised onion and beetroot tart, one-pan summery chorizo and tomato orzotto, sticky hoisin and ginger pork with rice and bok choy. To be honest, there are far too many to list! However, if you’re looking for the answer to this question: “What’s for dinner tonight?”, you’re guaranteed to find something for everyone.

“To be doing what I am today is a dream come true,” says Nadia, who, as a 12-year-old, was inspired by Jamie Oliver and decided that when she grew up, she’d like to write cookbooks and have a cooking show. Follow Nadia Lim online.
