This is such a beautiful dish to have in autumn. The leeks and onions become caramelised and sweeten up in the oven, adding a gorgeous depth to the salad.

If you want to know how the change of season affects you and what you can do about it, plus get a neat little seasonal eating guide for autumn and my favourite hug-in-a-teacup-pie recipe, read on.

The crunchy pecans, creamy poached eggs and tangy parmesan explode with flavour with every bite. The dressing can be stored in the fridge in a sterile, tightly sealed jar for up to seven days.

These fluffy and gorgeous pancakes with coconut yoghurt are delicious and nutritious.

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.

Summer is here and with it comes longer days, summer recipes, welcome sunshine, light reading, beach days and hopefully some time for relaxation.

I love experimenting with a fast-friendly protein combined with different seasonal veggies, herbs and spices to make the perfect flavour combo. This tender baked fish is complemented beautifully by calming fennel, cleansing coriander and the sweetness of leeks.

When cooking this recipe, always make extra. Make them for dinner then use the remaining drumsticks the next day for lunchboxes, did we mention they’re gluten free!

A selection of plant-based favourites that are good for the gut, and make the perfect side for a Sunday roast!

Soaking grains, lentils, nuts and seeds for 30-60 mins in warm water helps make them easier to digest. You could also cook them with asafoetida to help prevent gas and bloating.
