This is a satisfying and fragrant curry that the whole family will love.

My whole life, I have told people that curry repulses me. “Just the smell of it makes me ill.” I would declare. Until one day I ate a dish at a book launch that rocked my world. It was delicately scented and flavoured and yet had a complex balance of flavours that I couldn’t quite work out. What I discovered was that I don’t hate curry … I really hate curry powder. I can’t eat spicy food, so this is a very mild, fragrant curry. If you prefer your curry to have a bit more punch, add some extra chilli.

I prefer a fairly dry tabbouleh but if you like your tabbouleh a little wetter, add more extra-virgin olive oil and lemon juice.

The spice mix here can be made in advance in bulk and stored in the fridge — just spoon it out and add more olive oil as required.

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.

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.

Olives are rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, namely oleic acid, together with vitamin E and antioxidants that have an anti-inflammatory action to help support cardiovascular health.

Including cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower in your daily diet can help reduce your risk of developing cancer. Cruciferous vegetables contain a compound called sulforaphane that has been found to boost the liver’s ability to detoxify carcinogenic and other toxic substances.
