I’m currently addicted to pomegranates and walnut. The fresh, slightly tangy burst of the arils and the savoury crunch of the walnuts is a fantastic combination.

Tiger nuts, also known as earth almonds, aren’t actually nuts. They’re tubers that have a chewy almond-like taste. Tiger nuts are a good source of protein and beneficial fats along with resistant starch fibre that acts as a prebiotic. Including tiger nuts with meals can help improve satiety and reduce blood-sugar level spikes.

This is a delightful breakfast to share with the family. It jams a lot of protein, good fats and fibre into each slice and is easy to make ahead for a breakfast on the go.

A meat-free, light and flavoursome pizza that hits all the taste buds. Adding this superfood as a pizza topping is a great way to explore new flavour combinations.

This delicious vegetarian pizza has a crisp base and fresh, tasty vegetables on top. Each bite has lovely melted cheese, a hint of garlic and buttery pine nuts.

A versatile pizza recipe that can use an array of vegetables as toppers. Some vegetables prefer to be cooked to accentuate the flavours; however, with this recipe, use all the toppings in the oven at the same time. Tuck the spinach in with the other ingredients but if you do prefer it raw, you can add it on top afterwards for a little touch of freshness.

My first experience of this pizza was a variation that I tried with my best friend while on a girls’ trip. It was everything you want in a mouthful — salty, tangy, bitter and sweet — and it made such an impression on me that I promised myself I would recreate it when I got home. Using my favourite pizza base, I did just that.

If a donut and a churros had a love child, it would be a sopapilla. Soft triangles of dough are fried to pillowy golden perfection and then dusted in cinnamon sugar. So much easier than donuts, this recipe makes a big batch, which is great because you may need to “taste test” at least half of them.

These crunchy little balls are super tasty but super simple. You can double this recipe and have a serving for dinner, then make the balls with the other half.

This lovely, fresh salad provides plenty of beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in the body, required for good eye health and vision. You will also get a good dose of vitamin C from this dish, which is important for collagen production and for maintaining healthy skin and a strong-functioning immune system. Quinoa is a highly nutritious seed that is rich in protein and dietary fibre to help keep you regular and promote healthy blood-sugar levels.

Rice and beans can sound bland and uninteresting, but this dish is anything but. Cooking the rice in the rich savoury broth means maximum flavour is absorbed, creating a delicious and filling dish that can be served as a side or a main.

This dish might be the best-baked beans you’ve ever eaten. Hearty and full of flavour with a sweet, tangy finish, these beans can be served as a delicious meal on toast or as a side dish. They are eaten as a snacking dip in Spain as well, scooped up with some crusty bread.
