Forget takeout: 9 easy favorites you can make at home Forget takeout: 9 easy favorites you can make at home

Nothing beats movie night with a plate of nachos piled up with beans, corn, avocado, tomato and a spicy kick of paprika. Just make sure you pick something loud so you can hear it over the crunch!

Any excuse to fire up the grill, right? Our quick, spicy chicken skewers can be eaten straight off the stick, or wrapped lovingly in a soft tortilla blanket.

Tired of your pizza turning up late, soggy, messed up or with anchovies when you specifically requested "No anchovies"? Solution: make your own. Our vegan-friendly Pesto & Mushroom Pita Pizza is a thin-crust flavor explosion that needs only 10 minutes in the oven.

Think it's impossible to recreate the flavors of your favorite Thai joint at home? Think again! Our Shrimp Pad Thai noodle dish has that authentic sweet 'n' salty taste, with a zesty lime boost and crunchy peanut and bean shoot topping. And you can whip it up faster than a driver could deliver it.

The old 'meat lovers' pizza is even more lovable when it's our spicy Lamb Kofta creation. Top with crumbled feta and rocket for a true gourmet menu experience.

Is it burger night or Mexican night? You don't have to choose! Combine two of your favorites with Simon's crowd-pleasing, plant-based Mexican Black Bean Burger. His spicy avocado and tomato salsa topping is miles ahead of any fast food sauce.

You don't need to crack open a takeout box to get your Chinese noodle fix. You can still eat fresh, fast and healthy thanks to our oh-so-simple stir-fry with an amazing soy, chilli and ginger sauce.

It's time to take your regular Taco Tuesday on a Korean detour. The addition of a kimchi and yogurt blend sauce makes these vegan-friendly tacos worthy of a five-star rating. They also come with a mid-week friendly cook time of 12 minutes.

We like to think of this dish as a deconstructed gyro. All the elements are there – lamb cooked just the way you like it, tomato, feta – but this way you can scoop them onto your flatbread and enjoy in any order you wish.
