Courgette Chocolate Chip Cookies
Courgettes in a cookie? Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it! These cookies are made with spelt flour, mostly because I didn’t have any plain flour. However, using alternative grains to wheat is a great way to improve the biodiversity of the foods we grow, and not only help look after our planet, but also out gut microbiota which love …

One Pan Courgette Pasta
Minimal washing up whilst creating a really delicious and balanced meal in 15 minutes! It’s using courgettes, kale, basil and nasturtium all from the allotment. If you haven’t tried nasturtium before, it has a slightly peppery taste that reminds me of rocket – both the flowers and leaves are edible, plus they act as a pollinator for bees which attracts …

Serves 3 Ingredients Method Per serving: 350kcal/ …

Lemon Blueberry Yoghurt Cake

I, however, find it’s the perfect cake to store in the freezer for when you fancy a quick sweet treat, or if you have …

Griddled Manouri & Fig Salad
I know a lot of people love feta, but I’m afraid for me it’s one of my least favourite cheeses. I personally find it too salty, but when I saw this cheese I knew I needed to try it because I love goats cheese. For me this wasn’t as salty in taste as feta, as well as being much milder. …

Wholegrain Spring Risotto
This risotto is a true labour of love, starting with growing the broad beans from scratch, to shelling them with fresh British peas, and then using wholegrain risotto rice, which, unbeknown to me up till this point, takes much longer to cook in comparison to its white counterpart. Something I feel I should have know, but may have overlooked. Therefore, …
