A family favourite recipe that I’ve adapted over the years - have with or without pasta - and always double the meatballs so you have some in the freezer for a lazy, rainy day. Don’t skimp on the parmesan either.

My family absolutely LOVED this dish. The home made teriyaki sauce has a beautiful sweetness that comes from only a little raw sugar. Go hard on the accompaniments like chilli sauce for the not so little kids for extra flavour and fun!

The perfect filling and chocolatey snack for when you’re on the run. A cinch to make too!

This stuff is actually addictive. Serve with my plum and pear crumble and vanilla gelato - a little goes a looooong way!

Fresh, crunchy and full of goodness and zing. SO many health benefits in this one! Get your lips around it.

Plum, pears, hazelnuts & miso are a match made in sweet umami heaven. Photo credit Carmen’s Kitchen - I will upload my own once I take a decent one - but you get the idea!

These little beauties are marinated to perfection with lots of punchy ingredients - think deep flavours, nourishing and tender goodness.

The perfect, nourishing and protein rich Autumnal dish with white beans, freshly foraged mushrooms & Tuscan kale. Just get the best mushrooms you can find!

A nourishing, seasonal twist on a classic - crunchy, creamy, deeply savoury and full of fibre, protein and gut-loving goodness.

A Good Spin on the classic Genovese pesto pasta - but make it gut loving, gluten free, deliciously high in fibre & plant protein plus packing in a HEAP of fresh basil flavour. Oh - and make it as brothy as you wish!

My take on the iconic New York Times Cooking recipe by Marian Burros - but gluten & refined sugar free, with some added nuts for more goodness.

I could use so many different adjectives for this loaf - super, amazing, splendid - but of course the one that you care most about is ‘delicious’ - and it is!

This anti-inflammatory, gluten & dairy free loaf is dense, filling and lends itself to both sweet & savoury toppings. A little really goes a long way and your gut will thank you for all the goodness you’ve just given it 🍞

Savoury, gut-friendly and completely delicious? Say hello to my Cheesy-mite Scruffin. Not quite a scroll, not quite a muffin.

This is the perfect lunchbox situation as its energy-rich and full of only clean ingredients. Easy to make too!!

Here we go again! Its ‘back to school/work’ time and rather than scrambling to find good quality & healthy store-bought snacks to throw in the lunch box - try making these super simple, nutrient dense and DELICIOUS lemon yoghurt mini loafs with yoghurt icing. They freeze perfectly so you can make big batches to keep on hand for play dates and birthday parties.

This prep-ahead Chicken ‘Shawarma’ is the perfect batch meal as you can quickly cover the chicken in the marinade and then pop in the fridge or freezer to get out to cook in a jiffy on a busy night. While it’s in the oven, all you need to do is cut up a few salad veggies, throw together the yoghurt sauce and maybe heat some pita bread - but knowing you, this would already have been done - you clever thing 😉

This roast chook has SO much flavour and is a real crowd pleaser - best reserved for when you have a little more time on the weekend as its cooked a little slower to make sure the tomatoes are jammy while keeping the skin crispy.

This is my take on an easy, family-friendly Middle Eastern inspired feast that works a lot like Taco night. its choose your own adventure and my mob love it. Its eating across the rainbow in the very best, most delicious way.

This pretty little recipe by Fatimah Omran is one she made for her family during Ramadan when she got sick of eating dates, but also wanted to use the excess she had in her house.

So rich and nutrient-dense - you only really need a little bit to hit the spot with your morning coffee or afternoon cuppa.
