5 Fakeaway Recipes to Make This Month

If you’re craving takeaways but still want to eat well, these high-protein fakeaway dinners will hit the spot without the delivery bill! Big flavour, easy prep, and perfect for busy weeknights.

Ditch the takeaway and make this rich, fragrant Slow Cooker Beef Madras instead. It’s bold, cosy, high-protein and unbelievably easy just add everything to the slow cooker and let it work its magic. Packed with warm spices, tender fall-apart beef and a fiery Madras kick, this crowd-pleaser curry is perfect for weekend fakeaways or hearty midweek dinners.

This One Pan Thai Green Curry is one of my go-to midweek one-pan wonders or fakeaway recipes. It’s fragrant, comforting and packed with flavour, yet surprisingly easy to throw together. Crispy skinned chicken thighs simmered in a creamy coconut curry sauce with lime, ginger and green veg — all cooked in one pan for maximum flavour and minimal washing up. It also makes a generous batch, perfect for lunches throughout the week.

This is my Slow Cooker Lamb & Potato Curry rich, warming and full of deep, aromatic spice. Tender lamb shoulder slow-cooked until it’s fall-apart soft, simmered with potatoes, coconut milk and warming spices for a comforting curry that tastes like it’s been cooking all day (because it has). It’s a classic for a reason and honestly rivals any takeaway version — at a fraction of the calories.

If you’re craving something golden, flaky, and packed with flavour without blowing your macros these are the bakes. My Slow Cooker Steak Bakes recipe serves up 40g of protein per portion, wrapped in crispy filo pastry and loaded with tender, slow-cooked beef. It’s Greggs-level satisfying with a homemade twist.

This is my viral Creamy Slow Cooker Butter Chicken, the takeaway classic but with half the calories. This is the perfect Friday night fakeaway dinner to impress any friends or family with.
