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 Spicy Sausage & Leek Pasta. In this kit you get Garlic Paste, Gochujang and Yasai Seasoning.


We really enjoy this dish, it always cooks perfectly and is always full of flavour. I'm not a fan of peas, so I don't add them to the dish. It's definitely a dish we enjoy adding to our box.

Next from this box I cooked the Malay-Style Wok Noodles. In this kit you get Mie Goreng Paste, Ketjap Manis and Chilli Glaze Sauce.


This is another dish that we enjoy. It's really easy and simple to cook, and always cooks perfectly. I love all the flavours, they work really well together. We sometimes keep the eggs out from the dish, like with this occasion, but it's really tasty with fried eggs too.

Next from this box I cooked the Chicken Katsu Curry. In this kit you get Pickled Salad Mix, Katsu Curry Paste and Gochujang Sauce.


This is one of our favourite dishes from Simply Cook. It's really easy and simple to cook. The flavours on this dish are amazing, it's full of flavour and a very moreish dish. I always find that it's better than store bought as well as restaraunts.

Lastly from this box I cooked the Sticky Bangers 'N' Mash. In this kit you get Paprika Colcannon Mix, Smoky Chilli Glaze and Smoky Date Sauce.

This is a perfect meal for a Sunday lunch, I class it as a fancy bangers & mash. It's a really quick, easy and simple to make. I keep our mash simple with a little butter, milk, salt, pepper, and a little of the paprika colcannon mix, as the cabbage in the mash wasn't for us.
I absolutely love the smoky date sauce, it adds a little sweetness to the dish and works perfectly with both the mash and the sausages.

Each box is £11.78 or £9.99 if you click ship now, with your first box being a trial price of £3.

I always love this dish, it always cooks really well, and it's always full of flavour. 

Next from this box I cooked the Creamy Salmon Pasta. In this kit you get Mustard Seed & dill Rub, Garlic Chicken Stock and White Wine Reduction.


This is a good mixture of flavours that all work really well together. But I don't tend to get this for our boxes as Skye doesn't like salmon.

Next from this box I cooked the Korean Beef Bulgogi. In this kit you get, Bulgogi Marinade, Honey Ginger Sauce, and Gochujang.


We love this dish, I try to pick it often while also trying to try new dishes. I love the flavours in this dish and I always enjoy it every time I cook it.

Lastly from this box I cooked the Chicken Parmigiana. In this kit you get Rich Tomato Paste, Herb Crumb and Garlic & Chilli Mix.


I still find having spaghetti with this dish odd as it's not something you'd put together. I enjoyed the chicken it cooked really well. We've not had it for a while, so I think it's time to give it another try and see if it stays as a dish we like.

Bacon, Potato and Leek Bake

Hello

I can't remember how I came across this recipe but I do know that this has become one of our favourite dishes. I was probably looking for a recipe that I could make with the extra leeks I had in the fridge. So when I came across this recipe on Aldi's website, I thought I would give it a try.

Let's get cooking!

Ingredients:
sea salt & black pepper
15ml sunflower oil

Start off by preheating the oven to 200C/180c Fan/Gas Mark 4.

Chop the bacon into chunks and sauté in a frying pan with oil for 5-6 minutes, until just coloured.


Peel your potatoes and cut into slices.

Chop the leeks into slices, wash well and drain.

Put the potato and leek slices into a pan of slightly salted water, bring to the boil, cover and cook for 5 minutes, then drain well.

Put the potato, leek slices and bacon into a baking dish.

Pour over the soup and gently mix, season with black pepper.

Sprinkle over the grated cheese and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden.

While the bake is cooking, peel the carrots and cut into thin matchsticks. Then cook in some boiling salted water for 6 minutes.

Once cooked, drain the carrots and serve alongside the bake.




I was dubious on how Skye would react to this dish, but was pleasantly surprised that she liked and enjoyed this dish.
This dish is full of flavour and everything works and compliments one another. This has become a regular dish for us and we enjoy it each time.
It's such a quick and easy dish to make and perfect for a weekly family meal, or if you're like me, pop some to one side and freeze for lunch at work.

If you would like to to follow the original recipe then head over to the Bacon, Potato and Leek Bake with Carrots and Mangetout recipe page over on the Aldi website.

See you soon!
