WINTER SPICE GRANOLA
This granola tastes like Christmas in a bowl and will be fuelling my mornings over the next few weeks and probably months too!
RHUBARB, GINGER & ORANGE COMPOTE
I love the colours in this recipe and it always reminds me of the start of summer. Rhubarb can be quite tart so feel free to add more maple/honey if you like your compotes quite sweet. This could be a great breakfast, dessert or snack addition and feel free to experiment with different flavours or toppings too!
BAKED GRANOLA BARS
I developed this recipe for a client who was looking for a nutritious sweeter snack option and I loved them so much I wanted to share the recipe with you all. Super simple to make and feel free to substitute the nuts, seeds and dried fruit for alternative varieties if you prefer.
ROASTED ANCHOVY BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Brussels sprouts are part of the cruciferous vegetable family and are a great source of fibre and micronutrients including vitamin C & K. Anchovies are a rich source of protein, omega 3 fatty acids and micronutrients including calcium and zinc. When roasted, they crisp up and effectively disintegrate, adding a wonderful salty taste to the sprouts which surprisingly isn’t too ‘fishy’.
SPICED CHICKPEAS
I often get asked for simple savoury snack recipes and have found these to be incredibly popular with clients. They can be eaten on their own or added to salads, soups, stews etc. for extra crunch and flavour.
ZA’ATAR AND CANNELLINI BEAN DIP
Za’atar is a Middle Eastern spice mix that you can buy or make from scratch. It usually contains a combination of sesame, sumac, thyme, oregano, cumin, coriander and salt. I lather it on meat/fish/roasted veggies etc and have just discovered it tastes AMAZING in dips. We’ve been munching on this toast, with crudités, roasted veg and on its own.
TOMATO, AVOCADO AND LENTIL SALAD WITH BASIL DRESSING
Simple and speedy to make, this dish serves 1 as a main or 2 as a side (works perfectly with fish and a green salad). Dried, tinned and pre cooked lentils all work well and feel free to add extra feta, mozzarella, other veggies, toasted nuts and seeds if you wish.
SLOW ROASTED TOMATOES WITH POMEGRANATE MOLASSES AND THYME
This is incredibly simple to make and leave cooking for a few hours. The addition of pomegranate molasses transforms the tomatoes making them irresistibly sweet and tangy. They work well on toast or as an accompaniment with fish, meat, other grains and pulses etc.
BANANA BREAD
Banana bread appears to be one of the most popular baking choices in lockdown. This recipe isn’t too sweet and has a slightly nutty taste - perfect for breakfast/snacks. I love this toasted with nut butter or yoghurt and fresh berries.
ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH SALSA VERDE
My favourite way to cook cauliflower is roasting with salt, pepper and olive oil. Simple yet effective and don’t forget about the leaves, arguably the tastiest part of the vegetable. They go slightly crispy and taste amazing with the sharpness of the salsa verde.
CARDAMOM GRANOLA
I absolutely love the taste of cardamom and it makes this granola extra special. I like nutty granola but please feel free to add in any other toppings e.g. dried fruits, coconut flakes, spices etc. This will last in an airtight container for weeks.
