<p>It turns out that <a href="/news-trends/scratch-cook-recipes">simple</a>, fresh meals which are <a href="/recipes/collection/quick-dinner-recipes">ready in minutes</a> reign supreme, with any opportunity to throw in veggies lurking in the fridge or plant a jammy boiled egg on top. A low-cost dinner which puts <a href="/howto/guide/20-budget-storecupboard-meals">storecupboard ingredients</a> to use also scored highly, such as our <a href="/recipes/spaghetti-puttanesca">spaghetti puttanesca</a>, or even a packet of instant noodles, jazzed up with heaps of crispy chilli oil.</p>
<p>What do you like to cook after a long day at work? Let us know in the comments.</p>

<p><em><strong>On the menu</strong> </em>A bowl of greens with fried firm tofu and dressed with lemon ponzu</p>
<p>After a day of food at work, if left to my own devices and not feeding the family, I eat either a bowl of a load of different greens (I have five-six types in the freezer, very fond of <a href="https://www.packd.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pack’d frozen veg</a> as a stand by) with some fried firm tofu and dressed with lemon ponzu, or <a href="/recipes/perfect-scrambled-eggs-recipe">scrambled egg</a> on toast.</p>

<p><em><strong>On the menu </strong></em><a href="/recipes/spaghetti-puttanesca">Pasta with anchovies</a> and chilli flakes</p>
<p>I always make sure I eat everything I’ve recipe tested, so it’s usually warming something up that I’ve cooked that day. If I’ve been testing in the test kitchen, and haven’t brought any home with me, I often don’t want to spend too much of my evening cooking, so my go-to speedy meal is <a href="/recipes/collection/quick-pasta-recipes">pasta</a> tossed in olive oil, a dash of balsamic, some chopped sun-dried tomatoes, anchovies, capers, olives, and a pinch of chilli flakes. I toss everything in the warm pan with the cooked pasta, and lots of black pepper.</p>
<p>If the testing has been really heavy that day and I’m looking for something a little lighter, another dinner I often make is a <a href="/recipes/collection/salmon-salad-recipes">salmon salad</a> – cold poached salmon over loads of leaves, shredded mangetout and coriander, with a zingy sriracha Marie Rose style dressing spiked with lime juice.</p>

<p><em><strong>On the menu</strong></em> A <a href="/howto/guide/20-sandwiches-from-around-the-world">sandwich</a> or a picky plate</p>
<p>Usually I’ll eat whatever I’ve tested that day or I’ll take elements of it and turn it into something slightly different – if in doubt, throw an egg on it! If I have been testing sweet things all day I typically crave something deeply savoury and for me, that’s some kind of <a href="/howto/guide/20-sandwiches-from-around-the-world">sandwich</a>. My standard super quick and easy go to is a jar of beans, lightly smashed and fried with something like chorizo or pancetta, piled into a warmed corn tortilla with fried eggs, hot sauce and some lime juice.</p>
<p>Either that or I adore a picky plate, and mine is usually filled with seasonal veg, pickles, sourdough and tinned fish.</p>

<p><em><strong>On the menu</strong></em> <a href="/recipes/egg-fried-rice">Egg-fried rice</a></p>
<p>I will usually go for an egg-fried rice or just a bowl of rice with some melted butter. I tend to crave the simple flavours if it’s been a big day of testing.</p>

<p><em><strong>On the menu </strong></em>Pastas, pies, curries or stews from the test kitchen</p>
<p>As the editor of Good Food magazine, I don’t actually test recipes, but I am a grateful and enthusiastic recipient of the brilliant creations that my colleagues create in the test kitchen, so I always bring in Tupperware boxes in case there are any leftovers for me to take home for my wife and kids. It’s a win-win-win: my family gets to eat amazing food; I don’t have to cook after a day staring at my screen; and it ensures nothing from the test kitchen ever goes to waste. Pastas, pies, curries and stews are particular favourites.</p>
