From my latest book ‘Nature’s Way to Healing: A Long Covid Guide’, my roasted capsicum pasta is a clever way to transform a traditional comfort food into a nutritional meal. The vibrant capsicums are veritable vitamin factories, containing more vitamin C than oranges while also providing impressive amounts of vitamin A for eye health. The nutritional yeast delivers a cheesy flavour without dairy and adds valuable B vitamins, including B12 for those following plant based diets. The coconut milk creates a silky texture while contributing medium-chain triglycerides that support brain function. This dish proves that comfort food can nourish both body and soul without compromise.

My tortillas are a comfort hit with the whole family and can be customised and adjusted to appropriate spice levels. And for our plant-based friends, we haven’t forgotten about you — just swap out the fish with grilled tempeh, which is equally delicious.
