This is hands down one of my favourite salads. I often make one up on the weekend and portion it for lunches for the week. Add your protein of choice and enjoy the delicious nutty flavour of freekeh along with the pops of sweet and sour from the currants and lemon. You can easily serve this salad warm or cold, so it’s super versatile.

I know basil is the go-to for pasta, but I love crisp, fresh parsley with cauliflower so I have chosen parsley for this dish. You can now buy fantastic gnocchi in many different flavours and cauliflower is becoming very popular. You can use any flavour of gnocchi with this sauce.

The key to making a successful pinwheel is to have an even layer of filling over the pastry and to roll it up tight so it keeps its shape. I like to place the pastry in the fridge briefly prior to cutting it as it helps it firm up nicely.

This cake is always a big hit. It makes fantastic muffins too. You don’t have to drizzle over the chocolate if you prefer not to — it’s just as delicious without it.

These espresso brownies have all the deliciousness of a brownie but are a lot healthier. Use butter for a more decadent, richer mouth feel or substitute with coconut oil or olive oil. To get the texture right, make sure to use a granulated rather than powdered sugar replacement.

Perfect for a crowd, for school lunches or afternoon tea, this cake is sure to cue some nostalgia no matter where you’re from.

This light and lovely gluten-free cake is packed with good-quality protein to supply important amino acids to build and repair the body, make hormones and support lean muscle growth. Having protein with meals is important for maintaining a healthy weight by curbing hunger and sugar cravings and helping keep blood sugar levels balanced.

Spinach and other leafy greens contain good levels of iron, which has a positive effect on serotonin and dopamine levels to boost mood.

Sorry to the pea lovers out there but my mouth started watering at ricotta and didn’t stop.

Absolutely delicious! The spices are the hero of the biscuit, but the subtle citrus tones are a close second.

This is one of my favourite dough recipes. It’s pliable and, once baked, is beautifully soft inside.

If you haven’t tasted brown butter frosting, this recipe is about to change your life. Thanks to the Maillard reaction, your browned butter will impart a nutty, toasty, deep flavour to your frosting that is beautifully offset by the rich and spiced cake. Something a bit different for next time you need to serve a crowd.
