Main Meal Recipes
Kung Pao Prawns
Kung Pao Prawns are a perfect quick and easy stir-fry and can be served with noodles or rice. We opted for Doves Farm rice noodles (gluten free). The Szechuan peppercorns and chilli flakes add a little kick and the cashew nuts and red peppers provide a crunchy texture...
Chicken, Chickpea and Mango Curry
With a creamy texture and easy on the spice, this Chicken and Chickpea Mild Curry recipe is ideal for the whole family. It has the added bonus of being quick and easy to prepare (ready to eat in under half an hour) so it ticks all the boxes if you fancy something full...
Vegetable Lasagne
This is the perfect family-friendly meal to help pack a rainbow of different vegetables into a meal. Most people think of beef mince when lasagne springs to mind, however, this recipe has so many interesting flavours and textures that substituting the meat will most...
Gluten Free Pancakes
These gluten free pancakes are similar to a normal pancake but made with gluten free rice flour. I went a little crazy with the toppings as you will see.
Spiced Crab Cakes
I love crab cakes. Unfortunately, many crab cakes are heavy in calories, sodium, and saturated fat. In the interest of cost cutting, they’re often junked up with caloric and sodium-laden fillers and then deep-fried (a tasty technique, but the caramelizing powers of...
Tacos Recipe
Whilst tacos may have their roots in much hotter climates, they're also a great winter warmer. Try my cauliflower, olive, pepper and tomato filling for a Mediterranean twist, or keep it traditional and refreshing with chicken, avocado and salsa. They're always a hit...
Corn on the cob with chilli, lime and coriander butter
My corn on the cob with chilli, lime and coriander butter are such a hit when cooking for big groups of people, or even if you just want something a little bit different for yourself. They're easy, warming, delicious and quick. The chilli and paprika is enough to give...
Pumpkin and spinach pasta sauce recipe
This pumpkin and spinach pasta sauce is a healthy and easy alternative to traditional tomato sauce. Whilst the initial sauce takes time, I like to make a big batch and freeze it until needed, making it perfect for the kids after school. Pumpkin is very...
Pumpkin and chicken curry with cashews
This pumpkin chicken curry with cashews is the perfect winter warmer for cold nights. You can easily substitute the chicken for chickpeas (or another protein of your choice) to make this dish vegetarian. Chickpeas are my go-to vegetarian protein in curries because one...
Chilled Cucumber Soup
My chilled cucumber soup is a great alternative for hot days. Cucumber makes this cold soup into a refreshing and nourishing alternative using greek yoghurt as our second based ingredient. High in protein, fibre and potassium. Ingredients: Serves 1 200g Greek yogurt...
Summer rolls
Refreshing, satisfying and light. These summer rolls are a savoury treat for the taste buds that will be a welcomed healthy addition to any occasion, or great as a packed lunch. Packed full of vibrant phytonutrients and fibre - you won’t get that sluggish feeling...
Puy lentils with roasted tomatoes & peppers
Puy lentils, like all lentils are a great source of soluble fibre, that help reduce cholesterol, stabilise blood sugar levels, as well as keeping your digestive system healthy by bulking out stools, reducing the likelihood of constipation. They are a great source of...
Ash Persian bean soup
My ash Persian bean soup is a real winter warmer. It's hearty, full of nutritious minerals, vitamins, fibre and antioxidants. Kidney beans, chickpeas and lentils are all incredibly high in protein, so if you want to leave out the chicken/lamb/beef it's still a...
Quinoa with Roasted Veg and Cod with wilted spinach, & long stemmed broccoli
Roasted veg quinoa is always one of my go-to's for an easy meal, because it has the potential to be really nutritious. I like to pair mine with cod and greens like wilted spinach and long-stemmed broccoli. Cod is a good source of vitamin B12, which is needed to make...
Courgetti chicken noodles
Chicken courgetti noodles are a bit of an obsession of mine at the moment. I think it's because I love the simplicity of the dish and the way it reminds me of my time living in Thailand. By swapping egg noodles to courgetti, you gain another vegetable, more fibre and...
Quinoa with squash, spinach & avocado
I often get asked for quick and easy lunch recipes to make for the week. Quinoa bowls are great exactly for those instances. I like to vary the toppings each time, but this squash, spinach and avocado is one of my favourite combinations during colder months. Sprinkle some seeds for extra energy.
Miso soup with bone broth
Miso soup is one of my favourites in the grey, cold winter months. It has the the warming comfort of a homemade soup and an array of health benefits, especially for the digestive system. I like to make my miso soup with beef bone broth as it aids in boosting the immune system, soothes digestion and is beneficial to joint health. When feeling the effects of winter colds and flues, miso-bone broth is my go to recipe as it works miracles for recovery.
Quinoa with grilled pumpkin and beetroot salad
In cooler months I tend to favour soups over salads, but this colourful salad is an exception. The roasted root vegetables with spices have that warming feeling and comfort so needed to get through the shorter days. I love having this salad warm, but it is also delicious as a cold dish. This recipe is a great vegetarian dish, but crumbling a little bit of feta or fresh goats cheese will add some tasty flavour.
Mixed green salad with steak and paprika aioli
This hearty beef salad is on my list of favourite dishes to make from a weekend lunch to a dinner party. I love the flavours in this recipe, as tender beef, red pepper and rocket work so well with the creamy avocado. This salad also is an excellent source of protein and iron if you are feeling low energy or feeling the slump.
Quinoa chicken nuggets
Packed with lean protein and fibre, this chicken nugget recipe is so easy to make and keeps the whole family happy. I love using this recipe for last-minute or packed lunches, as it works so well on its own, in a salad or with roast vegetables.
Healthy falafel recipe
This healthy falafel recipe uses chia seeds which are full protein and omega 3 fats. I love to make a batch at the weekend to have with salads for lunch.
