Baked Sweet Potatoes with Spiced Chickpeas

Baked Sweet Potatoes with Spiced Chickpeas

I love the intense sweetness that sweet potatoes develop when they are roasted in their skins. One sweet potato provides about six times your daily vitamin A needs! Topped with spiced chickpeas, a tahini lemon sauce and a tomato salsa this is almost a complete meal - just add green salad. Missing ingredients? Substitute other spices, hummus instead of tahini, a can of mexe beans instead of roasted chickpeas.

Beetroot, Lentil , Orange and Feta Salad

Beetroot, Lentil , Orange and Feta Salad

Personally I could eat this as my main meal, but it is equally good as a side dish or salad.

Brown Rice, Tomato and Lentil Soup

Brown Rice, Tomato and Lentil Soup

Fantastic after rugby on a Friday night, fantastic for lunch on a cold winter’s day, and even better reheated on the next day!

Chickpea and Cauliflower Curry

Breakfast

Tired of cornflakes? Find some exciting and healthy breakfast options here

Banana Chia Bread

Cake for breakfast is not ideal but for a treat or a swift brekkie on the go with a cup of coffee this one is not too bad at all.

Zucchini Halloumi Cakes

For a savoury breakfast that's healthier than bacon and eggs, try making these little fellows. Serve with some roasted cherry tomatoes and a piece of wholemeal toast.

Blueberry and Apple Overnight Oats

Busy mornings? Prepare two or three servings of overnight oats at a time and top with your favourite fruit, chopped nuts, seeds or a cooked fruit puree.

Home Made Muesli

I love making my own muesli. It has exactly the ingredients that I want in it and no added oils, sugars etc. Customize this to create your own favourite mix.

Breakfast

Fish and Seafood

Many people tell me they don't know how to cook fish,

so use these recipes and be inspired!

Harissa Salmon on Spiced Lentils

Harissa Salmon on Spiced Lentils

This super healthy dish provides a double whammy of protein. Serve with some steamed greens for a complete meal.

Ceviche

Ceviche

Perfect for tapas, an appetiser or a light lunch, ceviche is a South American way of curing raw fish to make a flavour-popping mouthful.

Thai Fish Cakes

Thai Fish Cakes

A great way to use a cheaper fish fillet to make something very authentically Thai tasting. Great for finger food fare too.

Pasta Marinara

Pasta Marinara

An inexpensive way to use seafood for a family meal.

Steamed Ginger Salmon with Bok Choy and Sesame

Steamed Ginger Salmon with Bok Choy and Sesame

Thank you Belinda Jeffrey for this absolutely gorgeous recipe. I have simplified the method slightly, but it is SO yummy!

Harissa Paste

Harissa Paste

Harissa paste is easily made (saving you a fortune!) and is a beautiful ingredient to add to tagines, soups and other things to which you want to give a Moroccan/Middle eastern flavour.

Tabbouli Salad

Tabbouli Salad

Great in pita pockets with falafels, kebabs or just hummus and salad. This can also be a tasty side addition to simple grilled fish or meat meals, or as part of barbecue or picnic spread.

Tomato Olive Vinaigrette

Tomato Olive Vinaigrette

This is adapted from a Delia Smith recipe and is excellent on grilled fish but there is no reason why you can't use it with chicken too, or even on corn cakes.

Bliss Balls

Bliss Balls

Because there is no baking involved here, there's a fair amount of licence to change ingredients according to what you have and what you like. Ground almonds can be expensive so oats could also be used, but then the balls won't be gluten free anymore.

Vegetable Pilau Rice

Vegetable Pilau Rice

A Madhur Jaffrey recipe, changed just a little bit. One of my favourite rice dishes, and it will be a great accompaniment for almost anything. I like to eat it with dahl. If you added some chickpeas or lentils for extra protein this could even be the main event.

Pulled Pork Ponzu Noodles

Pulled Pork Ponzu Noodles

This was a quickly made dish using some leftovers of pulled pork. You could just as easily use cooked chicken strips, pieces of fish, prawns, squid or tofu/tempeh. My recipe for ponzu sauce comes from Genius Kitchen.

Spiced Roast Chicken with Corn Stuffing

Spiced Roast Chicken with Corn Stuffing

A little Mexican flavour for a roast chicken.

Pork and Veal Koftas

Pork and Veal Koftas

If you can't buy pork and veal mince, just buy pork mince and beef mince separately and then combine them. The mixture freezes well either cooked or uncooked, so make a batch.

Chicken with Olives, Capers and Figs

Chicken with Olives, Capers and Figs

Adapted from a Maggie Beer recipe. You could make lots of substitutions on this recipe and it will still be delicious.

Desserts

Chocolate Chilli Mousse

Chocolate Chilli Mousse

You would never guess that this mousse is made from Tofu. Tofu is rich in protein, vitamins and minerals especially calcium. Tofu can also help lower cholesterol and is great for pre/menopausal women suffering from hot flushes due to its phytoestrogen content. Thanks to Carolyn English of Preventative Nutrition for this recipe.

Chocolate Orange Almond Cake

Chocolate Orange Almond Cake

I found this recipe on the back of a packet of almond meal years ago!

Chocolate Beetroot Cake

How to eat your vegetables for dessert!

Baked Apples

Baked Apples

An oldey but a goody - you forget how good the simple things are sometimes!

Red Wine Spiced Poached Pears

Red Wine Spiced Poached Pears

Pears are one of my favourite fruits and in Winter they are cheap! They are one of the most fibrous fruits too - 5.5g fibre per medium pear! Poach a half dozen for an elegant dessert. (Here I was feeding a crowd but you could halve the quantities.)

Vegan Raw Brownie

Vegan Raw Brownie

Faced with the challenge of what to make for a relative who is gluten free, dairy free and egg free I remembered this no-bake chocolatey slice. Whilst coconut oil is not my favourite oil, it works for a dairy free and vegan alternative. The whole thing is rich and full of fibre.

Coffee Nut Cake

Coffee Nut Cake

This gluten free cake is light and apparently humble but it is delicious with the coffee zabaglione, making it a sophisticated dessert or morning tea treat.

Chilli Corn Bread

Chilli Corn Bread

This would be so good with a Mexican bean stew, a tagine or even just with some strong flavoured cheese.

Banana Chia Bread

Banana Chia Bread

Chia seeds are high in protein and also anti-inflammatory omega threes. Add to that the olive oil instead of butter, the bananas and the pecan nuts and this is not a bad cake!

Chocolate Beetroot Cake

Chocolate Beetroot Cake

Beetroot in a cake?? Yes, it adds moistness and a deep colour. Well, you eat carrot cake don't you?!
