Say goodbye to takeaway and hello to fakeaway, with this all-encompassing comfort cookbook brought to you by popular BBC TV chef and presenter, Chris Bavin. I was surprised at how easy it all was to make and it’s definitely an economical option for sushi fiends like me and my friends. In this video i have used Asda beef in gravy which was lovely i have also used the Tesco beef in Gravy and its equally as good.

no problem this fits with Slimming World Calorie Counting and Weight Watchers and its low in fat too.In this recipe I have cheated to the max 🙈 but don’t let that put you off because this recipe is still super tasty but super easy. Another brilliant Meat Free Monday recipe we both loved this, plus it’s another recipe that is very adaptable so anything that needs using up can be added.

Let’s talk gnocchi, the key with gnocchi is not to over cook it as soon as it floats to the top its cooked drain it immediately. Refreshingly practical, Fakeaway contains all the inspiration you need to make delicious meals for your family from scratch and on a budget. If you are on a tight time schedule and don’t have time to faff around just leave these extra steps out, remember this is your meal for you and your family so do whatever is best for you to get food on the table. I love the brief synopsis on the recipes, whereby it may give recommendations, alternatives or even some of Chris’ own personal feedback. I decided to make a stir fry out of mine but you could use this as a basis for a Chinese Fakeaway, from frozed the duck i used takes 7 mins to cook perfect for a mid week meal too.However, here we are and I can definitely say this one was worth the wait it was amazing really hit the spot and if you’re craving a takeaway then maybe give this a try. Tomato Sauce – depends on the brand you use at the minute I’m using Tesco own brand low salt low sugar which is 7 Cals per tablespoon such a fantastic find – but yours maybe different and much higher or lower in calories. Or you can reduce the sauce and add a corn flour slurry this is usually 1 teaspoon of corn flour mixed with cold water – if you decide to use this method do not take your eyes off the pan the corn flour will thicken really quickly. This mix makes 4 burgers but i decided to make 3 what i would say were quarter pounder size burgers, but you can make them as big or as small as you wish.

Inspiring, mouth-watering and refreshingly practical, Fakeaway contains everything you need to know and more about recreating healthy and delicious takeaway meals for your family from scratch, all on a budget. and presents "Food: Truth or Scare"; "The Truth About Meat"; "Tomorrow's Food"; and "The Truth about Obesity".

As with all vegetarian recipes you can if course make this a meat version by using any mince or sausages you have. I always mix my spices with yogurt before coating the chicken this protects the chicken to stop it drying out during the cooking process, so what you get is a baked outer coating but the chicken is still moist. So my top tips – when crushing the Wotsits DON’T crush them into a fine crumb leave some bigger chunkier bits this will help with the sogginess also don’t spray them with oil before putting them into the oven again they crisps will just absorb the liquid. This recipe appears in my cookbook MY LIGHTER BITES and it has had amazing reviews from everyone that has made it.

first method is have patience place the sauce in a large frying pan on a high heat and keep removing the pan from the heat this will allow the honey to solidify so you can judge how much the sauce has reduced. Born out of pure laziness 🙈 but these sometimes are the best creations and i can promise this was so good and im definitely making it again real soon. I expected the coating of the chicken to be a bit of a faff but it really wasn’t and baking the chicken rather than frying it means the whole dish is a whole lot healthier than usual. I appreciate you can make the base of this taco recipe in a pan on the hob in about 30 minutes but as you know that’s not my style and especially when the weather in the UK is playing ball and the sun is out. Say goodbye to Deliveroo, as DK is sure to reshape the next generation of take-away goers for the better!

What we thought: Prawn toasts are one of our favourites in a classic Chinese takeaway, but we would’ve had no clue how to make them.
