    Main dishes recipes

    Main dishes come in so many shapes and forms. Try cultural classics, comfort foods, grilling favorites and more. If you're looking for something to particularly fit the season, take a look at the seasonal recipes to find something for every course.

    Some main course sub-categories that may help you find what you're looking for:

    • 30 minute meals (some have marinades so may need a little planning, but are otherwise very quick, while most are start to finish around half an hour or less.)
    • seafood recipes - main dishes where fish and seafood is the star, or at least an important part.
    • vegetarian meals - whether you are vegetarian or just looking for a meatless meal to change things up, there's something here for everyone (even the dedicated carnivore will find something they'll almost certainly like!)
