Twelve starter recipes Belinda's demo guests cook again and again. Filter by what you're after — fast weeknight wins, family favourites, healthy resets, weekend bakes, or batch prep.

Basil, garlic, and parmesan blitzed in the bowl while the pasta cooks above. Dinner in 15.

Silky, surprisingly filling, and the whole thing happens in one bowl. Stretches into school lunches.

Soffritto chopped in seconds, simmered low for an hour. Doubles cleanly — freeze half for next week.

Aromatic, gentle, and faintly addictive. Steam basmati on top while the dahl cooks below.

Kneads in 2 minutes, rests for an hour. Four pizzas, four toppings, one bench-side party.

The "we forgot to eat the bananas" classic, with a nutty brown-butter twist that lifts it above weeknight bread.

Smoky hummus, beetroot & feta, herby labneh. Fifteen minutes of work, an entire afternoon of grazing.

Crisp edges, fudgy middles. Dough mixes in two minutes and freezes in scoops for emergency batches.

The "Sunday dinner with the in-laws" winner. Bowl, oven, butterscotch poured over the top.

Roasted beets, lemon-mustard dressing, herbs from the windowsill. Lunches sorted for two days.

One bowl, one tray, three weeks of better breakfasts. Tweak the nuts and dried fruit to taste.

Hands-off risotto — stir-free, stress-free, peas and asparagus added in the last few minutes.
