Hello

We’ve got a spring in our step!

I’ve always thought my mum was pretty special, but as I get older I truly realise just how amazing she is. So, in a month where both Mother’s Day and International Women’s Day fall, it’s only right that this one is for you, mum! I love to treat her (when she lets me…) and what says ‘I love you’ more than cake, right? I’m getting my bake on and first on my list is the blueberry and yoghurt loaf cake (p56). If you’re lucky enough to have a special female in your life too, celebrate them with a nice message, a bunch of flowers or a hug – it will mean the world to them. This issue is packed with so many recipes I can’t wait to recreate in my kitchen – from the crumbly golden beef pie to the microwave jambalaya in our Tasty time savers feature. Mid-week meals that use energy-efficient* cooking methods AND time-saving shortcuts? Yes please. We’re all looking for ways to save right now, so look out for our handy ‘Budget Savvy’ roundels throughout the mag too. Finally, we’ve got inspiration to get you ready for Easter, with delicious hot cross buns, Extra Special Easter Eggs and recipes with a twist on the traditional roast.
