Today’s mission is to cram the maximum number of breast cancer friendly foods into one recipe that suits all diet preferences.
Moroccan Turkey Burgers with roasted aubergine, cauliflower, with avocado and dill pesto
Turkey mince is good for us – high in protein, low in fat, and packed with nutrients – but as a red meat substitute it can taste a bit bland. These Moroccan turkey burgers pack a lot of flavour and combine well with a range of vegetables. I overcooked mine – it’s best not toContinue reading “Moroccan Turkey Burgers with roasted aubergine, cauliflower, with avocado and dill pesto”
Savoury Apple Sauce
I always used to love apple sauce with a roast dinner but these days I find it a bit boring when it’s apple and nothing else. Last night I was struggling to think of something to liven up some organic pork and invented a more interesting (IMHO) version that contains three of the best gut-friendlyContinue reading “Savoury Apple Sauce”

I’m always on the lookout for delicious and economical mid-week suppers and these hit the spot – they would also work well as part of a tapas-style feast. I served them last night with some fennel and orange slaw and some tahini yoghurt laced with chillies. They also taste good cold!
Red Cabbage with Gin and Orange
Last year, on Christmas Day, we had the most delicious goose I have ever tasted — with crispy skin and dark, tender flesh you could carve with a knife and fork. This year I can’t resist a repeat run…
Pork, squash and apple tagine
I knew when I woke up this morning that I needed double the hours in my diary to get everything done. On days like this I don’t want my nutrition to be the bottom priority – and it’s even more important to have an enjoyable meal in the evening.
Baked fig with goat’s cheese and thyme
The fig season is upon us and, while I love adding slices of raw fig to a cheese board, they are even more delicious baked in the oven with goat’s cheese.
