Organic Merchant’s Mulled Spice is
a vibrant medley of festive fruit flavours, fragrant spices and velvety rose. The classic Glühwein formulation has plant compounds that are antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial, which may naturally aid digestion, balance blood sugar, enhance circulation, fortify immunity and invigorate energy. You can enjoy the tea as a daily tonic or in recipes to create warming winter wine, summer sangrias, fruit minced pies or poached fruits.

Tofu will provide you with a good dose of non-haem iron. This important mineral is needed for strengthening the immune system. We need good levels of iron to produce white blood cells and antibodies to protect us from viruses and bacteria and other illness-causing microbes. People with low iron levels often have weakened immune function and are more vulnerable to catching colds and flu and other infections.

Broccoli poppers are delicious! There is no need to feel bad about a little frying. Ensure your oil is hot enough so the poppers don’t absorb it and use the best-quality oil you can find. Serve with nutrient-dense dipping sauce.

This vegan rice noodle bowl uses a vegan fish sauce to make the Nuoc Cham (Vietnamese Sauce). You can find this at your local grocer — it’s usually made from fermented coconut blossom nectar.

This dessert has simple yet complex flavours. Soft, pillowy silken tofu is warmed and sliced into slivers which are then drenched in a sticky, sweet, spiced syrup that is to die for.

Crispy pastry encloses delicious veg-packed filling that tastes so incredibly satisfying that nobody will even notice there is no meat.

This vibrant green dish made with Asian greens from the brassica family will give you a good dose of vitamin A and carotenoids!

There are two sure-fire ways to make vegetables better. You can bake them, or you can coat them with cheese. Here, I’ve combined the two to make a dish where the sweetly softened leeks are bathed in a creamy cheese sauce until you have a tray of pure joy. You may want to keep the whole pan for yourself.
