COOKING a stir fry is quick, cheap, nutritious and fun, says Runcorn chef Toby Dunne.

As part of our Let’s Cook health campaign, we are inviting readers who are passionate about food to share their recipes with us.

Toby, aged 30, of Lambsickle Lane, Weston Village, trained in Holland, and has worked in Spain, Switzerland and Lanzarote.

He was the first chef in the UK to complete a City and Guilds in sustainable catering.

His company, Abigail Limited Catering, feeds BBCTV and film crews on location, serves street food, and provides buffets for weddings, family celebrations, food festivals, and special events.

He said: “I source all my food locally and cook fresh.

“I could cook fresh every day for a family of four for a week for £35.

“You can make a stir fry with whatever is in your fridge. It’s a good way to use up vegetables and meat.

“If I come home after a long day, I’ll make a stir fry. It’s quick and very versatile.”
