Gluten Free • Dairy Free • Naturally SweetenedThis simple Orange + Olive Oil Cake is everything I love in a homemade cake — beautifully moist, fragrant with fresh orange and wonderfully easy to make.Made with almond meal, extra virgin olive oil, raw honey and fresh orange, it has a tender, slightly dense crumb and a lovely natural sweetness without being overly sweet. The olive oil gives the cake richness and moisture, while fresh orange zest and juice bring a gorgeous citrus flavour that makes every bite taste fresh and vibrant.It’s also naturally gluten free and dairy free, and everything comes together in one bowl before baking — no mixer, no complicated techniques and no frosting required.I love this cake served simply as it is with a good coffee or pot of tea. For something a little more special, serve with a generous spoonful of thick Greek yoghurt and a drizzle of honey.

Fresh • Crunchy • Light + NourishingThis Cabbage Caesar Salad is my fresh, lighter take on the classic Caesar — made with finely shredded green cabbage, fresh basil, Parmesan, capers and crunchy sourdough, all tossed through a simple yoghurt and extra virgin olive oil dressing.I love using cabbage in place of traditional cos lettuce because it has the most wonderful natural sweetness and crunch. It also holds onto dressing beautifully without wilting, making this salad particularly good for meal prep, entertaining or easy lunches throughout the week.The secret is to massage the finely shredded cabbage with a little lemon and sea salt before adding the dressing. This gently softens the cabbage while keeping that gorgeous crunch and makes it much more enjoyable to eat.My light Caesar dressing is made simply with extra virgin olive oil, verjuice or lemon juice, Greek yoghurt and a touch of maple syrup to balance the acidity. It’s creamy enough to coat the cabbage without being heavy or overpowering.I also love adding a handful of fresh basil and capers for freshness and a salty little punch, then finishing everything with plenty of Parmesan and chunky sourdough croutons.For the croutons, I simply toast a slice of sourdough in a pan with a little extra virgin olive oil until golden and crisp, then cut it into chunky pieces. So easy and so good.Enjoy this salad on its own, add roasted chicken or chickpeas for a more substantial lunch, or serve alongside roast chicken for a beautiful, simple dinner.

Gluten Free • Egg Free • Plant-BasedThese healthy zucchini and green pea fritters are golden, crisp around the edges and beautifully tender through the middle. Made with fresh zucchini, green peas, basil, lemon and chickpea flour, they’re naturally gluten-free, egg-free and plant-based — and incredibly simple to make.I love recipes like this because they turn everyday vegetables into something you genuinely look forward to eating. Zucchini and peas provide fibre and valuable plant nutrients, while chickpea flour adds plant-based protein and fibre and helps bind the fritters without the need for eggs. A little turmeric adds its beautiful golden colour along with naturally occurring curcumin, the main bioactive compound in turmeric.The secret to really good zucchini fritters is to squeeze as much moisture as possible from the zucchini. This helps them hold together and gives you those lovely golden edges rather than a soft, soggy fritter. I've also added a little cornflour to lighten the texture and help them crisp beautifully in the pan.Serve them warm over thick Greek yoghurt with fresh lemon and herbs, or keep the whole dish dairy-free with coconut yoghurt, my Whipped Avocado Green Goddess or creamy whipped cannellini beans.They're also delicious hot or cold, making them perfect for a healthy lunch, light dinner or meal prep. Add a beautiful green salad alongside and you've got one seriously good plate of food.
