My favourite is paella - totally delcious and has been highly praised by friends who didn't know they were eating diet food!

I buy Spanish Paella Rice from Tesco and roughly follow the recipe on the back.

In summary:

Finely chop an onion and 3 cloves of garlic -sweat these down (in frylight or, as I do, for 4 mins in the microwave - covered and with a tbsp of water).

Add to frying pan: 2 roughly chopped tomatoes, 1 red pepper cut into strips and some raw, skinless chicken (breast or thigh works fine), and 2 tsp paprika. Cook for 10 mins until chicken is cooked.

Add 300g paella rice - stir to coat and cook for 4 or 5 mins.

Add a large pinch of saffron and 2 pints of chicken or veg stock. Season, bring to the boil and simmer for 20 mins, stirring from time to time.

Add a packet of frozen and defrosted mixed seafood (the sainsbury's prawn, squid and mussels are great) and some frozen peas and cook for a further 4 mins or so, until the peas and seafood are hot. When I did this for friends, I added some cooked whole cevettes and cooked shell on mussels - which did give it some extra impact.

Serve with salad, chopped parsley (if you like it - I don't!) and wedges of lemon.

I made the Chicken Tikka Masala tonight from the 7 days to sucess book you get when you join, and it was bloody lovely.

One of my favourite things to make is fritata, so filling and so easy.

Chop up peppers,onion,courgette,mushrooms put them in a roasting tray, spray with Fry-light, sprinkle over mixed herbs and garlic. Roast for about 20 mins.

Add to cooled boiled potatoes, put in a frying pan and add 4 beaten eggs. Cook over a medium heat, then when the bottom is cooked, place under a hot grill to set the top.

Serve with a large salad.
