  1. All the meals looked so delicious – 1000 times better than anything you could ever get at a restaurant or take-away. 👩‍🍳

  2. All look healthy and delicious, Jane! I’m going to try that lentil and mushroom ragout. Thanks for the inspiration! -from the wintertime Pacific Northwest❤

  3. I don't eat lentils much because they have too many carbs for a diabetic, but that moussaka looked delicious.

    My grandmother would make "tea cakes" American style that were a soft sugar cookie that we would have with coffee around 4:00 pm

  4. MMMM! Everything looks wonderful. The toasted tea cakes and the pizza . . .OMG! Mike is a lucky man! Lovely video.

  5. Fab, really like the use of lentils to replace mince, and couldn't agree more about extra cheese.

    I had second time around leek gratin I made with free leeks from the community garden and some cheese sauce made with Maroilles, which is often in the yellow sticker fridge locally as no one here seems to care for it! With a couple of hunks of spelt bread out of the freezer, originally zero gaspille pain de la veille from the bakers. All very hearty. OH had cheese triangle sandwich – I started buying cheese triangles to get pills into the dog but we've rediscovered how much we like them! Supermarket's own, not Vache qui Rit.

  6. Your meals always look amazingly tasty ❣️ I am going to hire you as a cook when I win the lottery ❣️ yummy, yum, yum 😋

  7. I love the variety of your meals. I seem to be in a rut. I wish you had a mini-cookbook. I think you had a video a few years ago where you showed how you made the cheese sauce, etc. I will have to find it.

  8. Well I was thinking about making pizza for dinner, for no reason other than i really like pizza. I have decided to take the fact that you guys also had pizza as a sign, and I will make the pizza.

  9. Jane, thank you for sharing so many meals. They all look delicious! And as a vegetarian, you've given me the inspiration to discover new options! ❤️ from Argentina 🇦🇷

  10. It’s 23.15 here in Greece and my tummy is rumbling looking at your meals and as for your Veggie Mousaka it could grace any Taverna here for sure!! 😊

  11. Everything looks delicious! There's such a positive energy to your meal choices and cooking. Thanks for the inspiration (I may try moussaka!)

  12. Jane you are genius with all those meals. I would love everyone of them, absolutely delicious. If I got anyone of those in a cafe/restaurant I would be taking note as return worthy visit. Thank you so much. ❤❤❤❤
