Post-exercise, you want to consume carbohydrates and protein to help replenish glycogen stores as well as help repair your muscles. My Turkish Inspired Eggs contain plenty of protein thanks to Yeo Valley 0% Greek Recipe*, as well as carbohydrates from the sourdough bread served with them. I’m also pairing in plenty of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to help with recovery …
Short Rib Ragu
Pasta is my comfort food, so when Ninja asked me to create an autumn comfort meal using the 8-in-1 Foodie Possible cooker, I knew it had to be pasta-based as that’s the equivalent of a big cosy hug in a bowl for me. What you might not realise is that there are recommendations for red meat intakes, with health bodies …

Pasta alla Norma con Ricotta Salata
My friend bought me back some lovely Italian gifts, including this handmade orecchiette made by an actual nonna, and a local cheese called ricotta salata which is a salty and sharp cheese. So, I wanted to make something worthy of these ingredients, and my friend suggested pasta alla norma, which is an aubergine and tomato pasta, and something I absolutely …

If you can’t find giant wholegrain cous cous you can use standard wholegrain cous cous which only require rehydrating in 110% boiling water.

Air Fryer Falafel
I used to work at King’s College London as a postdoctoral researcher and there was this little falafel stall just around the corner which would be mine and my colleagues go to spot when we were treating ourselves to lunch out (or running back to the metabolic research unit!). These falafel are a nod to those which I used to …
Spiced Butternut Squash & Lentil Soup
My friend doesn’t like thick soups, which is often the case when using curcubits. This, however, is a very thin soup, which still packs a punch. Each serving provides you with a third of your daily fibre requirements, making it a great meal choice on cold winter days. Serves 4 Ingredients Method Per serving: 302kcal/ 13g fat/ 2.0g saturated fat/ …
Sourdough Blueberry Bagels
Blueberry sourdough bagels. Just a small amount of work and you will have the most delicious bagels – chewy crusts with a soft centre, filled with sweet and tangy blueberries which you know will do you good. If you can’t find freeze-dried blueberries you can leave these out. Most shop-bought dried blueberries are sweetened with fruit juice and therefore won’t …
