Belinda Jeffrey's Weekly Meal Plan
Belinda Jeffrey enjoys a queen-like status in thousands of kitchens around the country. Her status is almost surprising given that her easy-going approach to food makes cooking with her best-selling cookbooks feel more like cooking with a dear friend than a queen. In her own words:
“My recipes are easy. They’re for the food I like to eat. Simple, fresh, full of flavour, and just a bit different. You certainly don’t need any great cooking skills for them, you just need to like food and like eating – just like me. The rest is simple”
Belinda’s meal plan is all about these 3 things: simplicity, flavour and something a little different. So sit back, create a shopping list and enjoy, because all the hard work planning a waste-free week has been done for you.

Monday
Crisp haloumi with roasted pumpkin and sweet red pepper salad
This vibrant salad is quite substantial and satisfying, needing only a loaf of good bread to mop up the dressing.

Tuesday
Coconut chicken with spicy cucumber ribbons
The marinade for this scrumptious dish only takes a few minutes to make, then all you need do is pop the chicken into it the night before you need it.

Wednesday
Spice-coated flathead fillets
Flathead is such a lovely eating fish - sweet, white, moist, and not at all ‘fishy’. This is terrific served with mashed potatoes and a simple green salad.

Thursday
Salt-baked potatoes with guacamole
These simply-cooked potatoes have become my summer holiday staple as they need little effort to make and taste terrific.

Friday
Crunchy, healthy tuna, rice, dill and egg salad
This refreshing, energy-boosting salad is packed with flavour and perfect for a warm night. I’m happy to eat it just as is, but occasionally I’ll tear up rocket leaves to mix through it, along with slices of avocado.
