A couple of hours of power and we'll have a few lunches and a couple of treats ready for the week ahead. Let's go.

What should we cook this weekend? I’m thinking a beautiful big spanikopita, a batch of chickpea, lemon and sweet potato soup, a tray of shortbread and another of burnt butter oat slice.

I made these four recipes (plus some fennel pickles) yesterday; it took just under two hours, and with kids home on School holidays, I am loving that we have g some good food in the fridge and treats in the pantry ready for busy days ahead when we’re working/studying/outside all day and don’t have time to stop and cook for lunch or dins.

Here’s the menu

Chickpea, lemon and sweetpotato soup
Our favourite spanikopita
Almonda and orange shortbread
Biurnt butter oat bars

I hope you give one or all of these a go this weekend or anytime. Paid subscribers (thank you!) will find all the recipes below, plus a downloadable PDF if you prefer to print your recipes out in one black and white doc.

Thank you, stay warm and have a good week!
