Cook restaurant quality meals!

Each box comes with 4 recipe kits and 4 step-by-step recipe cards.

Following the recipes, you combine the kits with 4-6 items from your fridge or cupboard.

Then in just 20 minutes  you'll be enjoying a delicious meal for 2-4 people.

First from this box I cooked the Beef & Baked Bean Chilli. In this kit you get Beef Stock, Smoky Chilli Blend and Chipotle Paste.

Make the rice.

Fry the mince.

Add the beans.

Serve!

I thought this recipe was really easy to follow, but I don't think it's a dish for us, I definitely prefer to have baked beans rather than kidney beans. It wasn't really a dish that blew me away and made me want to get it again.

Next from this box I cooked the Nyonya. In this kit you get Garlic & Coconut, Nyonya Paste and Nyonya Garnish,

If you're having potatoes, boil them in water until tender.

Make some rice.

Meanwhile, fry the chicken.

Add the coconut milk.

Serve!

I really liked this dish, all the flavours worked really well together.

I'd happily cook this again.

Next from this box I cooked the Italian Beef Ragu. In this kit you get the Ragu Herb Mix, Red Wine Reduction and Ragu Stock.

Lastly from this box I cooked the Chilli Glazed Sausages. In this kit you get Paprika Colcannon Mix, Bacon Chilli Glaze and Smoky Date Sauce.

Now let me get to the business side of the Simply Cook boxes, each box comes with 4 recipe kits which include 3 pots of sauces, herb, stock etc, as well as 4 step-by-step recipe cards, that contain the full list of ingredients you'll need, and alternatives etc.

You can choose which dishes you would like in your box, or you can leave it to the Simply Cook gang and let them randomly pick your dishes to enjoy. You can set your preferences whether you're wanting something mild to spicy, something family friendly, there's recipes from all around the world.

Honey Chilli Pork

It's time to share with you a recipe from the new Pinch of Nom Quick & Easy recipe book, today's dish is Honey Chilli Pork from the Fakeaway chapter, this recipe is a slow cooker dish, but can also be cooked in the oven too.

Let's get cooking!

Ingredients:

2 tbsp clear honey

1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes

1 chicken stock cube, crumbled

3 tbsp reduced-salt dark soy sauce

1 1/2 tsp garlic granules

1/2 tsp ground ginger

juice of 1 lime

low-calorie cooking spray

550g pork tenderloin fillet

4 spring onions, trimmed and sliced

1/4 red chilli, thinly sliced

In a small bowl, mix together the honey, chilli flakes, stock cube, soy sauce, garlic granules, ginger, lime juice and 2 tbsp of water.

Spray your slow cooker pot with the low-calorie cooking spray.

Next place the pork in the bottom of the slow cooker and then pour over the sauce mixture.

Cover the slow cooker with the lid and turn onto the low setting and cook for 2 1/2 - 3 hours.

Turn the pork over half way through the cooking time and replace the lid, don't life the lid any more than this as every time the lid is removed it will lengthen the cooking time by 30 minutes.

Remove the pork from the slow cooker and wrap it in tin foil to keep warm.

Pour the sauce from the slow cooker into a small pan and add the spring onions. Place the saucepan over a medium heat and simmer uncovered, for around 10 minutes, until the sauce has reduced slightly.

Slice the pork into slices and place on a serving dish, pour the source over the pork and serve.

Serve with rice and if you wish to with with extra sliced spring onions and sliced chilli on the side.

Every time we have a takeaway, I always wash and keep the tubs for future use, as you can see they also come in handy when eating fakeaway's as it can help to feel like we're treating ourselves, while not spending a fortune on ordering and having a dish that is a little healthier and better to what you could be ordering.

This dish for me went down a treat, while it had a little bit of a kick, the flavours were delicious, even Skye seemed to enjoy it, which surprised me as I didn't think she'd like it, but nothing was left on her plate by the time she had finished eating.

It's a really easy and simple recipe to follow, and can be left on it's own to cook, I'll happily cook this again as I know both myself and Skye really enjoyed it.

If you're interested in any of Pinch of Nom's recipe's then you can buy the recipe books in all major supermarkets as well as online retailers Waterstones and Amazon.

See you soon!
