My energising steak salad is a champion for those needing a boost in iron levels. It’s especially brilliant for active individuals and women during their monthly cycle. The lean beef provides highly bioavailable haem iron, which your body absorbs more readily than plant sources. I’ve paired it with vitamin C-rich vegetables to enhance that iron absorption, a clever nutritional partnership! The coriander pesto is a flavour explosion that is also packed with detoxifying compounds to help your body clear unwanted toxins. This dish truly exemplifies how food can be both functional medicine and pure pleasure on a plate.

This colourful salad is like wearing a nutritional crown, with each ingredient playing a royal role in supporting your health.

The goat’s cheese provides calcium in a more digestible form than cow’s milk products, making this dish not just a feast for the eyes, but a brilliant boost for your immune system and gut health. It’s vibrant nutrition at its most delicious!

Grilling the romaine enhances its flavour and adds a smokiness. The cauliflower crumb accompanies the tender lettuce with a punch of saltiness and crispiness. To make this an easy super salad for dinner, prepare the aioli the day before.

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.

Harissa, a spicy North African blend of chilli and warm spices such as garlic, cumin, coriander and paprika, offers several health benefits due to its combination of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
