The perfect pairing of spring lamb with spring vegetables is showcased in this recipe. It's best to choose lean lamb and choose broad bean pods that are not too large because the larger one can become a bit floury in texture. 
If you don't eat meat, try marinating slices of tofu instead of the lamb and pan fry the tofu rather than chargrill. 

This hearty soup is a perfect meal for seafood lovers. You can choose the type of seafood you prefer so feel free to use mussels or scallops instead of the prawns or squid.  You can make the stock using organic vegetable broth powder if you like. 

This is a nourishing broth to have over the cooler months to help support your immune system. The ginger and turmeric have excellent anti-inflammatory properties. Dried nettle leaves are available from your health food store. Think of this drink when you have a cold or flu virus - it will do you loads of good. You can make the bone broth using organic chicken bone broth powder. I always keep a packet of this in my pantry. 

A good chicken soup is deliciously nourishing and good for the soul. It's one of my favourite things to have on a cold day. I usually make a large pot of soup and then freeze portion sizes so it can be popped in the fridge to defrost overnight ready to heat up when I'm tired after the day and just want to be nurtured. Team it with a slice or two of keto bread or a seeded bread, if you're extra hungry. It's a family favourite. 

This is an excellent vegetarian soup for lentil lovers. It's so warming for winter meals and can be taken to work in a thermos mug ready to enjoy for lunch. If you don't have brown lentils, use red ones or the French green puy lentils. If you prefer sweet potato, you can swap that for the desiree potatoes. Add extra herbs too if you like and consider topping it with a dollop of basil pesto. Enjoy!

These balls are absolutely scrumptious and easy to make. They are a great alternative to cacao based treats. Having said that you can use cacao powder instead of carob, but you’ll need to add a natural sweetener such as stevia or Natvia or xylitol to suit your taste.  

Seeds offer all manner of health benefits including essential fatty acids and soluble fibre. Linseeds (flaxseed) are also a good source of inulin, a type of fibre that feeds beneficial gut bacteria. Menopause symptoms may be reduced by eating daily linseeds due to important phytoestrogen compounds they contain. These crackers are an excellent health food for everyone and can be topped with goats' cheese, my ABC Nut Spread as I have here, cashew cheese, tapenade or dips.  Or simply enjoy them as they are.

​You can use any mix of raw nuts that you like in this recipe. You can also add some sunflower seeds, pepitas or chia seeds too if you like. I like to include just one variety  of roasted unsalted nut for some added flavour. ​

Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is a very nutritious gluten-free seed "grain" that originated with the Aztecs. It is a starchy carbohydrate food that supplies some minerals as well and about the same amount of protein as couscous when prepared.
I love the nutty texture and versatility of quinoa and serve it often in the form of a salad or to accompany a hearty casserole.  
​Always rinse quinoa in a sieve under running cold water before cooking to remove slightly bitter compounds it contains when unwashed.
