This fast and easy raw dish is light and fresh, making it perfect for summer when you don’t want to be cooking in a hot kitchen (especially with this heat wave we’re having). I love how filling it is without causing any bloat. If you like pasta but want something a little lighter and lower…

Chunky Gazpacho
After Barney (The Simpsons) attempts to mock Lisa by saying ‘Go back to Russia!’ when she offers up gazpacho at a BBQ many thought gazpacho was a Russian dish… However, gazpacho is an Andalusian dish (like paella) made of blended raw vegetables. This cold soup is a classic. Eaten widely throughout Spain in the summer, it’s delicious…
Broccoli & Walnut Stir-fried Rice
Broccoli is a nutritious, grain fee alternative to rice. Now, I don’t advocate grain-free diets particularly as there’s been countless research linking wholegrains to better heart health. However, every now and then it’s good to mix it up. And as you may already know, I love broccoli. Broccoli is full of nutrients like vitamin C,…
Rafa Rolls
I decided to try this recipe for the first time during Wimbledon 2017. I was going to call them something wonderfully uninventive like ‘Mediterranean Rolls’ but I’m a huge Rafa (Nadal) fan and I was cooking these during the Rafa – Muller match. Needless to say I was too busy shouting at the tv to…
Roasted Broccoli & Miso Tofu
This is a really simple recipe but it does take a little time. Ideally the tofu should marinate for 1-2 hours to absorb as much of the flavour as possible. Once that’s done, it only takes 30 minutes to cook and as the broccoli and tofu are both roasted, you have minimal washing up to…
Asian Style Salad
This Asian inspired salad is bursting with flavour. It’s bright and fresh, making it perfect as we (finally) welcome spring. The good news is this salad is so tasty you’ll want it come rain or shine. I love the crispy veg, smooth tofu and sweet teriyaki dressing. The first time I created it I loved it…
Simple Soup
Soup is kinda like marmite. Some people love it, some, not so much. I’m a lover, mainly because soups are easy to stomach. Well, low-FODMAP ones are! A good soup nourishes you from the inside out. It’s the perfect way to be kind to your body and reset healthy eating habits. This simple soup is…
No, I Don’t Miss Bacon – Tofu Strips
Tofu, tofu, tofu! It’s got a mixed rep. I’ve heard omni’s describing it as tasteless, bland and depressing. But, to me, that just makes it the perfect canvas. The best thing about tofu is that you can make it whatever you want. Heaven! The key is knowing how to cook and marinate it (and there…
Lemon & Chilli Stuffed Peppers
These lemon and chilli stuffed peppers are what dinner dreams are made of! They’re easy to make, can be prepared in advance (so all you need to do when your guests arrive is pop them in the oven) and I can honestly say these colourful peppers taste as good as they look! These stuffed peppers…
Delicious French Vinaigrette
French vinaigrette is a classic dressing and everyone should know how two make it! Most cooks have their own house dressing and for good reason. Shop-bought dressings are usually expensive, high-FODMAP and full of unhealthy preservatives, making a salad more of a junk food meal than the healthy one it’s hailed to be. This is my…
