Lemon, Courgette and Almond Cake
This lemon, courgette and almond cake is a lovely citrusy loaf to enjoy in the summer months. It’s deliciously moist – the kind that you have to eat with a fork. It’s also gluten free, dairy free and relatively low in sugar. I also added a little turmeric to it to make it super yellow and just a teeny bit aromatic.⠀
Easy Lentil Chilli
Looking for budget friendly, easy meal prep inspiration? Look no further. Here’s my easy lentil chilli recipe made with store cupboard staples. It’s a vegan recipe great for anyone trying to cut back on meat, dairy and any inflammatory foods. I’ve included a selection of veg that I had in the fridge, but you can mix up the ingredients depending on what you have available.
Beetroot Chocolate Brownies
This has got to be one of my most tried and tested recipes and they really are divine. Beetroot is naturally very sweet and grated into this mix, it bulks up the batter and limits the need for a gluten-rich flour. These are rich, moist and chocolatey - give them a go and you won’t be disappointed.
Carrot-top Pesto
Here’s a recipe for you in the name of reducing food waste: Carrot-top pesto! I make this every time I buy carrots from the farmers' market. Carrot tops are so green and nutritious, you can't possibly waste them. Also, making sauces from scratch leads to particularly fresh, delicious meals, and this one gives you a great excuse to eat pasta! Root-to-stem cooking is the way forward.
Gluten Free Breaded Fish (and Chips)
A healthy alternative to fish and chips with the added satisfaction of being nourishing. This is a super simple recipe for breading your fish fillets before baking. I like using salmon, but the recipe will work with most fresh fish fillets. Always aim to get wild fish that is sustainably sourced, and mix up your dietary intake of oily and white fish as they both have different health benefits.
Chocolate Orange Cookies
Rich, crunchy, zesty - this is hands down my favourite cookie recipe. These are the bomb.
Vegan, dairy free and gluten free, but definitely NOT nut free. The main bulk of these cookies is made up of ground oats and a significant amount of peanut butter.
Butter Bean Hummus
I love hummus! I’m also very much in favour of making my own dips and sauces and encourage you all to do so too. If you have a blender or food processor, this butter bean hummus is really quick and easy, you end up with a huge amount, and you are fully in control of the ingredients!
Gluten-Free Banana Pancakes
This healthy pancake recipe is super simple and delicious. The batter is made up of 3 key whole food ingredients - eggs, bananas and oats. I like to add a bit of salt and cinnamon for flavouring as well. The result is fluffy, wholesome Scotch-style pancakes that are the perfect base for all kinds of toppings.
