Mutton, Celeriac and Sweet Potato Pie
This dish is my own take on a classic Shepherd’s Pie, using some slightly more interesting vegetables for the mash and mutton instead of lamb for the mince. Mutton is a fantastic source of protein and essential micronutrients, it tastes just as good as lamb - just slightly less sweet - and in my opinion, it is a more ethical and sustainable meat to choose over lamb. The recipe is gluten-free, and I made mine cow’s-milk-dairy-free, but it can readily be made without any dairy.
Middle Eastern (Inspired) Lamb Mince and Liver Hotpot
I may have a bit of an obsession with getting liver into my meals in totally delicious ways. But there are worse obsessions to have. This dish, is slightly random - sometimes the best things are! I got creative with some Middle Eastern-inspired ingredients and a number of spices and ended up with this hotpot that would be perfect for a big batch cook, a family supper or a dinner party.
Veggie-packed Egg Fritatta Muffins
Nothing compares to a protein-rich, nutrient dense breakfast of eggs and veg. But sometimes that can feel more challenging to do if you’re time-poor or have to eat breakfast on the move or at work. These egg frittata muffins are the answer. They are the perfect batch-cook recipe for a quick weekday breakfast. They are also absolutely fantastic for kids’ lunch boxes and, like a frittata, you can fill them with just about anything.
Slow-cooked Beef Mince and Liver Bolognese
Ox liver is so unbelievably nutrient dense. It’s like nature’s multivitamin. For those of us not so keen on the taste and texture, this is the recipe for you. A slow-cooked bolognese that wins on flavour and on nutritional content, what’s more, it will feed the whole family!
Coconut Vanilla Granola
Granola is easy to make and this one is gluten-free, nut- and seed-free as well as being low oxalate. Try it as is, or use my recipe as a basis for your own version.
Roasted Cauliflower and Mushroom Soup
It’s that time of the year when there is nothing more soothing than a steaming bowl of homemade soup. This one is pretty special - a combination of two of my favourite inclusions into a vegetable-based soup - cauliflower and mushrooms. It’s creamy, cheesy and incredibly comforting.
Chicken Liver Pâté
Here’s a super simple chicken liver pâté recipe that can be made in 10 minutes and will last a week in the fridge. Organ meats really are the crême de la crême of nutritious foods and a good place to start, if you are new to the organ-meat-game, is with chicken liver. In comparison to chicken breast/muscle meat, chicken liver is significantly more nutrient-dense and beneficial for our health. The flavour is perfect for a creamy homemade pâté which makes a great nutrient-dense protein source for a lunch plate.
Baked Cajun Cauliflower
I absolutely love baking cauliflower, along with its leaves (because they are also very delicious and nutritious). It works a great base for holding a range of different flavours, with many going for the classic turmeric. This dish is perfect if you are trying to get someone to enjoy cauliflower who may otherwise be a little dismissive of it.
Raw Bounty Bites
These simple homemade bounty bars are super easy to make and are a perfect sweet treat for after a meal, a picnic, or special occasion.
Baked Flat Peaches with Toasted Hazelnuts and Mascarpone
This baked flat peaches with mascarpone dessert is absolutely delicious. It’s such an easy recipe and quick too. Simply bake the peaches, and toast the hazelnuts in some coconut sugar, then top with mascarpone and a drizzle of honey. I wanted to create something with all the textures - juicy and chewy, soft and creamy and sweet and crunchy. The combination is just divine. You don’t need to use flat peaches, you could use any stone fruit for a similar effect. It’s also a good dessert to make if you need something simple and gluten free!
