Recipes
Our recipes are “allergy-friendly”, by this we mean they are either free from the main allergens (for example egg, milk, soya) or we give tried and tested tips for substituting key ingredients.
We have taken the decision to include some recipes which contain fish and wheat.
Please get in touch if there is a recipe you’re craving or if you have one you’d like to share!
Veggie fried rice
Versatile fried rice is perfect for using up whatever veg you have in the fridge. A fantastic way to get loads of veggies into your kids – shredding them finely and cooking them so they’re crunchy makes them really palatable to children.
Better-for-them nachos
Create a slightly healthier bowl of nachos for family movie night by toning down the cheese, ditching the sour cream and serving with lots of crunchy diced peppers, avocado, tomato, coriander, and lime.
Egg-free Salmon Fishcakes
These fishcakes take very little effort to bring together and use store cupboard oily fish which is more affordable, time-saving and still packed with omega-3.

As well as all the chocolate, Easter wouldn’t be Easter without Hot Cross Buns.
Italian White Bean Soup with Rosemary
Jen often has this soup for lunch on a Saturday. It’s quick and nutritious and sets the family up for an afternoon of fun! It’s also really adaptable – so if there are a few vegetables in the bottom of the fridge that need eating up, add those too.

Nick, Jen’s husband, does not have good memories of “baked apples” from his childhood but he’s happy that this recipe is a regular in their house.
Rice Pudding
Find comfort in a bowl with this old-fashioned pudding, especially when it is cold outside. You do need to use short-grain rice and take it out of the oven before all the milk has absorbed, so that it is still creamy.
Beetroot Soup
Beetroot soup is a fabulous colour as well as being nutritious and delicious. Blend everything together before serving if you prefer smooth soup.
Mince Pies
Mince pies are Jen’s FAVOURITE Christmas food! This is her quick hack if you don’t have the ingredients (or time!) to make your own from scratch – just use shop-bought pastry and a jar of mincemeat.

Chocolate-dipped Candied Orange Peel

For Jen, the best thing about Christmas pudding is the brandy butter. She has been known to eat it by the spoon when no-one is looking.
