Wild Mushroom & Millet Risotto
‘I made this recipe for a great friend Melanie C – she told me that one of her favourite things to eat was a mushroom risotto but that she would love to discover a healthier way to cook it. Without all of the butter, cheese and wine that you would find in a normal risotto, this is a far healthier option with just as powerful a punch in the flavour department!’
Perfect Kale Salad
‘The key to a good kale salad is a thick, creamy, tantalising dressing and a massage (not for you, for the kale!). However bizarre massaging your kale may sound, it let’s the dressing ooze into the leaves and wilts the kale making it soft and easy to eat.’
Almond Butter Milkshake
‘This is an utterly delicious healthy alternative to a milkshake. You could also try with different types of nut butters to give different flavours. Blend up and enjoy!’
Gluten Free Seeded Quinoa and Chia Bread
‘Quinoa when cooked properly is delicious and seriously good for you, hence its superfood status. Quinoa is a gluten-free grain, containing all nine essential amino acids making it a complete protein and a fantastic way to boost your protein intake. Chia seeds are a great source of skin-loving omega-3 as well as fibre and bone building calcium. Chia seeds in this recipe act as the binder, they really make the thickness of the loaf and add to the bountiful amounts of goodness a slice of this bread delivers.’
Turmeric Milk: Not Just A Pretty Spice
‘Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, is considered to be a potent antioxidant and antiseptic in Eastern and Western medicine, and adding black pepper enhances these healing properties. It has numerous medicinal benefits, some of which include being a stomach soother, a powerful anti-inflammatory, a natural antiseptic for wounds and a liver cleanser. Warm milk with turmeric and honey is deliciously creamy, mildly spicy, and perfectly soothing.’
Noodle and Smoked Tofu Salad with Mirin Dressing
‘This distinctly Asian recipe is both delicious and beautiful to behold, with the carrot and courgette spirals. The buckwheat noodles add a hearty feel to the dish.’
Pumpkin Gnocchi
‘Pumpkin is incredibly alkaline. It is also packed with zeaxanthin, an anti-oxidant that helps to protect the eyes from age-related degeneration.’
