Avocado and chicken club sandwich

Recipe by: Ariana Klepac

This club sandwich packs in lots of interesting flavours and textures. Crispy prosciutto replaces the usual bacon, and mashed avocado the butter. Adding a few leaves to a sandwich is a cunning way to get children to eat their greens.

Easy

Citrus and spinach salad

Recipe by: Elaine Russell

In this colourful salad, the subtle flavour of spinach is enhanced by sweet melon and citrus, and prosciutto adds a savoury touch. You can prepare the dressing in advance, but only assemble the salad at the last moment to preserve as much vitamin C as possible. Serve with wholemeal bread.

Easy

Egg and anchovy pan bagna

Recipe by: Elaine Russell

Pan bagna is a Mediterranean layered sandwich, often prepared in a hollowed-out round, rustic loaf. Here, eggs, anchovies, capers, basil and tomatoes – all ingredients from a classic salade niçoise – are layered in a long French loaf, then left so that the flavours can mingle and soak into the bread. It's a great picnic lunch.

Easy

Pears grilled with pecorino

Recipe by: Elaine Russell

Many cuisines have a long tradition of combining fruit with cheese. This recipe stems from the Tuscan combination of pears with salty pecorino. With some of the cheese melted over the pears and the rest mixed with grapes and salad leaves, this makes an elegant lunch for two or starter for four.

Easy

Smoked cod souffle

Recipe by: Elaine Russell

Light, fluffy soufflés never fail to impress, yet they are surprisingly easy to make. This recipe uses the fish-poaching milk to make the soufflé base, and fresh herbs and chopped tomatoes are added for a lovely flavour. Serve straight from the oven for a special occasion lunch.

Soy-glazed chicken kebabs

Recipe by: Elaine Russell

These kebabs are marinated in Indian and Asian flavours and served hot off the grill. They have a marmalade glaze for a hint of sweetness. So delicious, so easy, they make a fun lunch for guests or family. Serve with Lebanese or pita bread and a simple green salad.
