When it comes to fruit for dessert, why not switch it up? These amazing-tasting muffins have all of the goodness of banana and raspberry and an injection of chia seeds which are a wonderful good mood food.

These are a great way to get kids eating more natural fruit. Don’t be scared to play around with different flavour and fruit combinations. You can even use frozen fruit. Once you’ve chosen your fruit or, combine them with omega-3 rich chia seeds.

Marinating is an age-old process to intensify the flavour of food before cooking.

This tart is the perfect bring-along if you’re invited to dinner and want to contribute a dessert with some wow factor.

Pies are one of my favourite ways to add comfort during the autumn and winter months.

Pies are also a handy way to use up extra vegies or herbs you have on hand and reduce food waste.

In my kitchen, I love to make batches of pizza dough, roll out the bases and freeze them for later use. That way you can make up the pizzas the night before and have them ready to pop into the school lunchbox for the next day.

You don’t even need to make a fish stock for this wonderful dish — the aromatics and anchovies add a great depth of flavour. Even if you don’t like anchovies, use them. The dish doesn’t taste like anchovies at all!
