Chia jam is one of the easiest recipes you’ll make. You can use any combination of berries, although it doesn’t get more English than blackberry jam!

Risotto isn’t just a lunch or dinner meal, it can absolutely be a dessert or breakfast! I’ve combined my go-to protein-charged grain, quinoa, with the creaminess of coconut milk, raw cacao and cinnamon to give this risotto a sweet edge without the heavy sugar load. You can enjoy it as a nourishing dessert with any kind of fruits. I love stone fruit with this delicious dish.

Porcini mushrooms give this risotto a rich, earthy flavour. If you have leftovers, form them into balls or patties and bake in the oven until crisp on the outside. They make the best burgers.

The traditional rice-based risotto has been given a wholesome twist in this recipe. The buckwheat gives a divine nuttiness to the dish and complements the sweetness of roast pumpkin beautifully.

Risotto is like comfort food to me; it’s warm, soft, a little bit creamy and deliciously flavoured. Once you’ve got a basic risotto recipe, you really can work in any other flavours you like. I’ve created this risotto with two of my favourite vegetables, cauliflower and fennel, plus a gentle citrus twist from lemon thyme. […]

Feel free to use any combination of nuts, seeds and dried fruit in this recipe but be sure to stick to the same ratios. You can make this recipe lunchbox-friendly by replacing the almonds with some sunflower seeds.

As a mum and nutritionist, I’m always trying to find more nourishing ways to create the family favourites — especially when it comes to cookies! For this delicious recipe, I’ve swapped traditional ingredients such as butter and flour for tahini and almond meal. The combination not only delivers high-quality essential fatty acids and fibre but keeps tummies satisfied for much longer, too. An absolute winner for all the family.

For as long as I can remember there has been a healthy version of icy poles in my life. My mum used to make them with fresh juice for us as kids and when I started my own family I decided they’d be a tradition I’d continue. Kids and adults love an icy pole treat and it’s lovely to know that they can be enjoyed with good-quality nutrition. I’ve supercharged these delicious icy poles with essential fats and calcium from tahini, fibre and sweetness from bananas and a kick of cinnamon to balance blood sugar levels, too.

The whole family will love this pumpkin soup! Adding tahini gives the soup a nutty flavour and creamy texture, plus it’s loaded with plant-based calcium.

This is my Middle-Eastern-inspired dressing which I use on anything from salads to roasted vegetables; it’s especially good on roasted cauliflower. I’ll keep a jar of this in the fridge and use it throughout the week.

These Peanut Butter & Coconut Cookies are insanely addictive! If you have kids, the entire tray can disappear before you even get one into your mouth.

Run! Run as fast as you can! These wickedly good gingerbread men won’t last long on the table. No weekend platter would be complete without these classic biscuits. The best part is while they are being baked your house will fill with an inviting biscuit aroma, ready for arriving guests.
