This was a creation based on a magazine picture for a Spanish chicken dish, but for which I had none of the ingredients, so created a version in the same vein. This was so tasty, I had to write it down so I could repeat it. The warming, subtle spice from paprika mixes so well…

Cod and sprout medley
Fed up of overeating at Christmas, I fancied something fresh, light and tasty. This was it. A fabulous spring or summer dish (can you buy sprouts in the summer? If not maybe brocoli shoots, or ribbons of stringless runner beans) or a great antidote to stodgy Christmas dinners. Serves 2. What you need: 2 large…
Bouillabaisse
Rich, creamy, decadent and full of goodness. I’ve upped the veg so this provides you with 6 veg in one meal and all cooked in one pan. Super quick and easy, this would even work for a special meal. I’ve kept it carb light, but it would work nicely with crusty bread. I’ve added in…
Banana and oat cookies
Perfect for breakfast on the go, or a snack, they are loved by the whole family, made in minutes and cooked in just 10 in an air fryer. Super easy, super tasty, super healthy. 240g banana, about 3 medium bananas. Squash the banana in the skin to make mixing easier 120g rolled oats. About 1…
Chicken schwarma
This is a schwarma take on a curry. Really tasty. The chicken fell apart and the whole thing was so moreish. Serve with rice or couscous 1/2 jar of schwarma paste, I like waitrose 1 red onion sliced 4 mushrooms, sliced 3 chicken breasts cut into thick slices 1tsp cinnamon Salt and pepper Splash of…
Mackerel couscous lunch

Protein and fibre breakfast pancake
This will fill you to lunch. The kids love them. They’re whipped up in seconds. Plus they’re super healthy. Think of them more like a flapjack/porridge substitute rather than a light vacuous American style pancake. 1/2 cup self raising flour 1/2 cup oat flour 1/2 cup almond flour Heaped tsp baking powder 1/2 cup currants…
Gluten free, healthy flapjack
Amended from Beckyexcell’s “How to make anything gluten free”, these are very easy to make and a great lunchbox addition. Filled with fibre and probiotics, but terribly tasty, enjoy your healthy snack. 4 large ripe bananas 120g crunchy, palm oil free, peanut butter 250g gluten free, organic oats (if you’re not fussed by gluten free,…
Oven baked wild garlic and mushroom risotto
This is super easy, a no faff version. No standing at the hob adding more and more stock and continuously stirring, but you must observe the timings in the oven. Switch the mushroom and garlic with other veg, like pre roasted, cubed butternut squash and sage. I dedicate this recipe to my best friends, the…
Low carb hotpot
Warming, substantial yet incredibly healthy and simple to make. Great for winter evenings. 1 sweet potato, washed 1 red onion, sliced 1 box (150g) chesnut mushrooms, washed and sliced 1 stock cube (vegetable Kallo is my fave) 1 tin baby tomatoes 1 tsp marmite Dried rosemary, about 1 tbsp 250g minced beef (5% fat) (to…
