“With a flavoursome miso marinade and a topping of gravy, this is packed with umami goodness. I’ve used seasonal vegetables for the traybake base adding lots of variety, colours and fibre. When buying miso, always go for fresh miso found in the fridge section. This fermented paste is a great source of probiotics to support gut health.” — Dr Chintal Patel
“An ideal Friday night recipe that captures all the takeaway vibes but is conveniently made at home in no time. This vegan option is perfect for Veganuary, but tofu can easily be replaced with alternative proteins like paneer or chicken. You can also include a couple of eggs in the vegetable noodles, and feel free to swap out the vegetables for seasonal alternatives.” — Dr Chintal Patel
