I made homemade 4-cheese ravioli tonight and it was enough to pack some in a box and freeze a few for later.

In the small compartments are more noodles with spring onions topped by a fishy [...]

Wholewheat spaghetti with two types of sauce: one contains shredded zucchini and tomato sauce, the other is lightly fried onions and shredded carrots with a dash of balsamic vinegar. Both are seasoned with fresh rosemary, herbes de provence and a little [...]

Wholemeal tortellini with pesto and a huge basil leaf, carrot sticks and hummus to dip, pieces of a mooncake, a frozen strawberry and blueberries, banana chunks with chocolate sauce. [...]
