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!

Not only is chicken noodle soup perfect to batch make. Keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days or pop it straight in the freezer!

These protein power bars contain so much sustenance and nutrition and they are perfect for growing, active kids.

A healthy alternative to fried chicken with staple herbs and spices. This can be a tasty snack or a meal with rice and salad.

This recipe reminds me of the breakfast street food I enjoyed every morning when I was teaching English across Indonesia. You can make a savoury version too with shallots, garlic, chilli and toasted shredded coconut. The sweet version also tastes sensational with in-season mango, chopped mint and toasted coconut.

This is a one-pan, colourful, hearty breakfast that can be customised to suit whatever is in your fridge. You can swap out spinach or rocket for the kale, and red capsicum for the tomatoes.

I’m not going to lie — I was shocked at how much I loved this recipe. While researching this cuisine, I kept coming across references to Golden Egg Curry and the picture in my head was nothing like the actual dish. I may never eat eggs any other way and this curry sauce is mild enough for my sensitive stomach while still being rich with flavour.

Take the luscious, creamy texture of a grilled eggplant and pair that deep, smoky flavour with a traditional Burmese dressing to create a fabulous side that will make your tastebuds sing with every bite.

A quick and delicious main meal, rich in flavour and spice with a creamy tomato curry base.

You will be in taste heaven with this spread! The falafel mixture freezes brilliantly for about a month — don’t cook it.

I love porridge. I’m that weirdo who always chooses porridge when offered. It was a revelation to my porridge-loving soul to discover that savoury oats are just as good as sweet. Simply cook your oats in your stock of choice, then top with your favourite additions. This is my favourite power breakfast.

There are two steps to making great satay chicken. The first is the spice and aromatic concoction you marinate the chicken in, and the second is the peanut sauce. You can use a good-quality peanut butter as your base, but if you have the time, you can’t go past making your own.
