No plan, no problem. These recipes are built to be riffed on – a loose method, a few storecupboard staples, and the versatility to use whatever you've got in the fridge.

Treat these as starting points, not instructions: swap, add or leave out whatever suits what's in your kitchen. For more ways to cook without a shopping list, try our easy recipes or for meals built from a handful of tins and packets, take a look at our budget dinner recipes.
