You have two equally wonderful ways to enjoy these nutritious bites…

These dark chocolate and nut butter bites are an excellent alternative to every day, shop-bought chocolate.

Here’s a recipe from me that I just love and hope you will too. Roasted Chickpeas with Beetroot and Rocket.

To me, having a nice cup of tea with a biscuit is similar to having a big warm hug. I have found that nothing quite hits the spot in the same way! Here is a recipe for my Lifesaver Biscuits. They give me the taste, texture and crunch that I […]

This smoothie is so popular with my clients, especially those with immunity issues. It’s fresh and very tasty and makes a great drink to enjoy at breakfast time, or on a hot summer’s afternoon. And in the winter months, when colds and flus are rife it works wonders. You will […]

I’m often found searching for something to eat raw crunchy vegetables with, and this very quick mackerel pate is a real winner. It’s also very easy to adapt and personalise you your own tastes. I mix between using peppered mackerel fillets and plain, and choose to heat the pate with […]

This recipe was inspired by my love of Cadbury’s Fruit & Nut bar. There is nothing quite like that feeling of melting chocolate, chewy raisins and crunchy hazelnuts. The maple syrup and raisins do mean this is quite a sugary treat, so my suggestion would be to enjoy it after […]

These sweet brownie-like balls are so quick and easy to make, and their tasty chewiness hits the spot when you fancy a little sweetness. For recipes like this one I find it quickest and easiest to measure things out in cups (the size of a tea cup).

Chicken broth or stock has been used as a healing food for centuries. There are lots of health related recipes for chicken (or bone) stock available online, but I’m afraid many of them are not pleasant to drink, and certainly don’t look very appetising! I think much of this has […]

This creamy sweet porridge is both filling and comforting, and adds an element of indulgent luxury to the morning routine! Porridge makes a good breakfast option. For many people, the fibre in oats is helpful for the digestive system, especially due to its ability to seemingly modify the gut microbiome […]

This abundantly flavoursome coleslaw is my new food addiction. I can’t get enough of it a the moment, and it’s finding its way into everything. I love the nose-watering tang of the horseradish against the earthy beetroot. It’s wonderfully succulent yet also has great texture and the lovely crunch that […]

This filling, rich and flavoursome vegetarian curry ticks lots of boxes for me in regards to optimising the diet. It’s ingredients are supportive of health from a number of angles, including digestive wellness, hormone balance and immune support. I love the nuttiness of this dish; it makes it so […]

Fed up with my standard 2 ingredient pancakes (1x banana mashed with 2x beaten eggs) always looking like a dog’s dinner, I decided to try something new today. I am calling this new creation Banana, Oat & Cinnamon Breakfast Cakes.

Beetroot is a food that I find myself recommending on a weekly basis to clients. This is because it’s fabulous for helping stimulate bile production and supports gallbladder health, thanks to its betaine content (see my Friday Clinic video on IGTV entitled ‘Why I love the gallbladder’ to learn more […]

Today I ‘built’ a chicken miso soup for lunch. The base was a chicken stock that I made yesterday using a slow-cooked roast chicken stock that I made yesterday (I have a recipe for this on my website). However, you could use shop-bought stock if that was easier. For the soup, […]

This porridge recipe feels like a real treat, and is perfect for a Saturday; especially if you’ve been out in the cold watching football training (me) or doing Park Run in the rain, as so many of my friends do.

Friday night is curry night! This delicious and satisfying lentil dhal has sent my spirits soaring after quite an exhausting week. I was motivated to create this recipe thanks to the most delicious curry sauerkraut, which was sent to me courtesy of @highmoodfood. A dollop of creamy coconut milk along […]

This delicious chicken, rice and lemon soup happened today 🍋. The seed for its creation was sown when I came across a sumptuous sounding Chicken Pilaf recipe in @ameliafreer’s new book Simply Good For You. I didn’t have everything needed to make the pilaf, so I decided to go with […]

This vegetarian dish is really tasty when it’s enjoyed hot, but it is also nice served cold as well. I usually cook it for dinner but make enough to ensure there’s some left over for lunch the next day. It’s filling enough to eat by itself, but it makes a […]

It’s called Raspberry Surprise Chocolate Porridge as I used to make it a lot for my children when they were young and I’d bury all the raspberries below the surface for them to find. Here’s the very crude recipe (as always, adapt as you see fit!)
