Monday: TOMATO AND VEGETABLE SOUP WITH HALLOUMI

Warm spices add exotic flair to this veggie-packed soup. You'll find halloumi, a firm cheese that holds its shape when cooked, in the cheese aisle of many supermarkets. Serve it atop the soup as a decadent garnish.

Friday: QUICK CASSOULET STEW

This hearty French stew (named after the earthenware pot that it's traditionally cooked in) normally takes hours to prepare. Using canned beans and chicken thighs (instead of the usual duck confit) allows you to get it on the table in just minutes!

It's moist, buttery, sweet and chockfull of banana flavour.
