My favourite autumn soup : a delicious, filling and nourishing soup with a good spicy kick. Full of what your body needs. I cook it in bulk as it freezes beautifully for weekday lunches.

Another wonderful inspiration from the Food Doctor. Slightly tweaked but only very slightly.

Never be afraid of switching ingredients up to suit your preferences.

Delicious with barbecued fish, cheese, meat or any vegan alternative.

Serves 4 as a side dish

(or 2 if you eat as much veg as me!)

Broccoli Tomato Salad with endless possibilities

This salad concoction is really delicious ( well, I love it!) and true to form it was also very quick and easy to make.

I am not particularly a fan of complete abstinence of a food group unless people feel that they are addicted to it and unable to have a little of some foods. Like chocolate; for some it is just easier not to have any at all. Over the last few years there have been numerous stories and reported benefits of not eating carbohydrates.

This is a substantial salad that looks great and tastes great.

You could serve this with chicken, fish, chickpeas, butter beans or lentils. It is ideal to make the day before and have leftovers for lunch the following day. (I have adapted a version by Yotam Ottolenghi)

Cook the Spelt as per instructions on the packet.

Blanche (or microwave for c.2 minutes) the tenderstem broccoli (or normal broccoli) and chop the spears into 3 smaller lengths.

Delicious no-potato Fishcakes. They are really quick to prepare and are super healthy. Once you have tried them you won’t miss the starchy versions, as the consistency of these is the same. Loved by children and adults.

One of my favourite salad option first shown to me by my dear friend Melanie. You can make a large quantity of this salad as it keeps really well in the fridge for at least 3 or 4 days, but keep the dressing in a separate container.

Here is an easy supper recipe that will tick all the boxes and only uses a few simple ingredients.

We love grilled tuna, but this recipe elevates the whole taste and texture experience to another height. A true delight to eat that also looks beautiful. Many thanks to “& Elaine” for an inspirational combination.

This receipe delivers on the nutrition, gut-biome boosting front – full of wholegrains, seeds, nuts and is great served with a probiotic (Total or Kefir Yogurt).
