Having a family where the kids don’t like vegetables, I’ve often found it hard to know what to cook — and even as they’ve got older, it’s only become a bit easier. Some of these recipes I still make just for myself, as the rest of the family prefer meat for dinner. But vegetable‑packed meals don’t have to be complicated; with the right recipes, they can be colourful, comforting and full of flavour.

This collection brings together the best ways to make the most of fresh, seasonal veg, whether you’re looking for quick mid‑week dinners, simple sides or hearty mains that put vegetables centre stage. From roasted roots and vibrant salads to creamy soups, stir‑fries and family‑friendly favourites, these dishes show just how delicious everyday veg can be. Explore the recipes below and find new, easy ways to add more colour, freshness and variety to your table all year round.
