Everything just tastes better in a clay pot — even this tasty, gluten-free butter chicken recipe! This version will help give your Friday-night curry a gut-friendly upgrade.

I remember eating a similar dish at a local taverna in Sifnos, a Greek island, many moons ago. There’s something about the combination of chicken with lemon, thyme and oregano that’s simple yet so delicious. Try to use lemon thyme if it’s available to really bring out the flavour. I like cooking the lemons to accentuate their natural juices, but they can also be used at room temperature if you prefer.

Take cauliflower to new heights in this colourful Indian-spiced ferment. Turmeric is a powerful secret weapon when it comes to good health and enjoying this supercharged spice is an ideal pick-me-up if you’re feeling a little run-down, and a wonderful comfort for an upset tummy.

Yoghurt is a great source of beneficial bacteria that help boost your good gut bacteria, which play a big role in your immune and digestive health. This delicious breakfast is also rich in beta-glucan, a type of fermentable fibre that supports cardiovascular health by reducing high cholesterol.

This Spiced Red Lentil and Kale Soup offers a fantastic source of protein and fibre, as well as feeding your good gut bugs.

Including fermented foods like yoghurt in your daily diet is an excellent way to support your gut and immune health by encouraging the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.

Here’s a zesty and refreshing source of digestive enzymes to boost gut health and start the day with a fruity twist.

The trick with this soup is to mix it with different flavour hits to create new tastes every day. You can change the grated vegies and greens you use in this base recipe according to seasonal availability. Create your own army of jar soups in advance and stash them in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Just a few years ago, mason jars were only used for canning. Now, it’s super-trendy to serve food in a jar and for good reason; they’re environmentally friendly, portable and food can look very appetising when stacked or piled in a jar.

Fish broths are incredibly rich in minerals and trace elements such as iodine, which is vital for thyroid function. Wonderful for autoimmune and leaky gut conditions, this broth is super-tasty on its own or makes a comforting addition to soups and stews.

This heavenly flavour combination makes a gorgeous breakfast or a lovely dessert. If you can’t get hold of any lemon verbena, lemon balm makes a great substitute or, alternatively, mint or basil work well, too. Outside of nectarine season, blueberries make a lovely replacement.

This is a super-simple salad that works well as a light lunch or as a side to a more substantial meal.
