About the chef

Hello, I'm Phil! I joined The Felix Project's fundraising team in February 2020 – a seemingly perfect time to join a frontline organisation! What drew me to Felix initially was its model – a brilliantly simple and compassionate approach to two societal problems I cared about deeply.

As a passionate home cook, I know that in the days after Christmas, the last thing anyone wants to be doing is slaving over the hob or heading out to the shops for those extra little bits. What I want is something quick, healthy, and versatile, using whatever I already have on hand. 

Everyone usually has some dried pasta, a tin of beans, miscellaneous leftover meat and vegetables, and a stock cube lying around between Christmas and New Year – and I wanted to share this recipe guide in the hope that it helps you spend more time with the people who matter this holiday season.

With a little help from our friends...

New Year, New You! But not for millions of working families
