Add sticky dates and a salty-sweet icing to take the traditional carrot cake to new, delicious heights. Decorate with crumbled sesame snaps and pecans
Make this hearty, wholesome soup on cold winter days. Enriched with egg yolk and parmesan lends it a velvety texture reminiscent of carbonara
This is a delicious and comforting fusion pie, combining a spiced coconut fish curry with a light, crispy layer of filo pastry. I’ve used haddock but any firm fish works.
Served with cumin-spiced vegetables this is the perfect roast dinner to shake up up your Sunday lunch. Scrub the veg well but there is no need to peel them. Leaving the skin on adds nutrients and fibre. Using baby potatoes means you don’t have to par-boil them, but if using other potatoes, slice thinly or par-boil first. If you are feeling adventurous, double the chutney ingredients and try marinating a whole roast chicken for a beautiful centrepiece dish.
Make this comforting no-bake lasagne and you’ll pack in lots of nutritious veggies, building up to 30 plant points for the week. The courgettes and mushrooms can be swapped out for other seasonal veg – leeks and aubergines work well.
I love to use orzo to make quick creamy pasta after a busy day at work, but you can use this sauce with any kind of pasta. I like to make my own Cajun spice mix as ready-made mixes often contain added salt, but if you don’t think you’ll use up all the individual spices, then take the ready-made option – just check the label to ensure it’s not too salty.
I’ve used chickpeas in this, but the curry base is adaptable; just add your choice of protein. A squeeze of lemon adds vitamin C to aid iron absorption and mixing quinoa with rice increases your intake of high-fibre wholegrains and protein.
Throwing all the ingredients onto a tray and letting the oven do the work allows me time to tackle that never-ending to-do list. The miso marinade is super-versatile, too. It goes well with any flaky white fish or boneless chicken thighs. I like to double it up for drizzling over veg.
Bulgur is easy to cook and a great alternative to refined grains. It’s high in fibre and nutrient-rich, so good for your gut, digestion and heart health. Serve it with stews, or use it in salads or as a nutritious alternative to rice. This recipe is a favourite with my kids!
