Zucchini is a nutritious and versatile vegetable offering several health benefits. It’s a good source of potassium, which can help regulate blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease.

If you have a slow cooker, it’s perfect for this pho. If you prefer your noodles crunchier and your beef rare, you can put the noodles and beef into the bowls then pour over the hot broth.

Fortunately for all of us, it’s an incredibly tasty Scottish version of bubble and squeak. It’s traditionally made using leftover vegetables

The best way to enjoy this comforting meatball stew is by using the freshest ingredients possible, including a home-made stock or broth for a purer and deeper flavour.

Cottage pie is a well-loved dish in Scottish cuisine. This hearty vegetarian variation is bursting with goodness.

Scotland is well known for its high-quality Black Angus, and the Scots for their love of a hearty stew and fine whisky, so I’ve combined all three. We have fantastic-quality Black Angus in Australia and with winter’s chill on our doorstep, this is a perfect hearty dinner.

Who can resist a cream bun, or cream cookies as they are also called in Scotland? Not me, that’s for sure. A sweet, enriched dough is baked to perfection, glazed and then filled with velvety cream. What more could you ask for?

These fast and fabulous snacks can be put together in under one minute. They are full of healthy fats, protein and minerals from the ABC (almond, Brazil nut and cashew) butter, along with fibre and natural sweetness from the dates.

Do you want to treat yourself to pretty, delicious snacks that boost your immune system, increase your energy and are full of antioxidants? Do you want those snacks to be free of refined sugars? This is what you’ve been looking for.

A muffin is always great for an energy-boosting snack. And they are so easy to grab-and-go when you need to get out the door quickly. You can freeze these muffins for a couple of months, too. Make sure they are tightly wrapped in cling wrap so they don’t get frost-bitten.

This scrumptious bake exceeds all expectations of a healthy slice. It’s full of interesting flavours such as almond, coconut and cranberries for a sour and sweet burst. I love to make a snack like this once every couple of weeks and freeze it so I have instant access to an interesting sweet treat when friends come over for a cuppa. Life’s too short not to bless yourself with sweetness!

Think bonfires, winter coats and friends. Nothing says good times around a campfire like a giant meatball sub and a glass of red.
