"You’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who really wants to be at work, so a delicious work lunch is something to look forward to, helping you power through the day. This potato chip frittata is a fun, delicious and affordable lunch to make – even better, you can cook it the night before, then just slice and serve on the day. You can use any chips you like; I used Woolies hand-cooked salted crisps and added the herbs I had on hand. It’s super-quick and easy and cooks in the oven in under 20 minutes. You can add other treats to this lunchbox – something fresh and crisp to get in your 5-a-day in a chilled way.' – Khanya Mzongwana
