My recipes
My recipes are simple, nutritious and quick to make.
Simple Nicoise Salad
This Nicoise Salad is simple and easy to make, but a substantial, high-protein meal that will keep you full until your next one
Almond & Coconut energy balls
Rustled up some energy balls today - so moorish and a great sweet snack to have in the fridge.
Vegan Chocolate Mousse
The liquid that you drain off a can of chickpeas has another use - you can use it to make vegan chocolate mousse! I made this one and it was so delicious and chocolatey I had to share the recipe...
Dr Lara's banana bread
Everyone seems to be making banana bread at the moment, so I jumped on this band wagon and created this version. It worked a treat: super moorish and the whole family gobbled it up.
Peanut butter cookies
Paleo cookies anyone? High protein cookies that all the family can enjoy… they are very mooreish indeed. They are seriously easy to make - just a few minutes to whip them up.
Kale and Radish Salad
I love Salad! Now that it’s salad season I’m all for creating some more unusual ones, and here’s my latest creation, with some crispy kale…
Orange and coconut macaroons
A fun recipe to do with the kids and - in my husband’s words - very moreish.
Spiced mushroom & courgette
This is fabulous if you are rushed for time, it’s high protein, vegan and so quick and simple to make. Great on its own, or you can serve with brown rice if you prefer.
Carrot and Apple Muffins
I’m loving muffins at the moment - perfect as a snack, breakfast or the kids’ lunch box. These are delicious!
Shepherdess Pie
This is my take on Shepherd’s Pie (so I’ve called it Shepherdess Pie instead!)… loads of veg, lentils and totally got the thumbs up from my meat-eating family. It’s filling, warming, comforting and very nutritious.
Blueberry & ginger smoothie
The purplest, most delicious smoothie everrrrr! This one is packed full of blueberries which are soooooo good for you…
Vegan "chicken" fajitas
More and more I'm experimenting with vegan food for the whole family... So here is my vegan "chicken" fajitas made with soya protein chunks... Xanthe said it's "so good, I just want to keep eating it". Well, they didn't miss the chicken part then!
Mushroom & Spinach curry
This is so simple and can easily be rustled up in about 15 minutes (or less possibly). It’s vegan, and high protein because of the beans and high fibre too. It’s also very filling. Eat on its own, or serve with brown rice or quinoa.
Almond & pumpkin seed bliss balls
These are literally bliss! Pumpkin seeds are really high in both zinc and magnesium - two minerals that many people are deficient in. So this is a blissful (!) way to top up those levels.
Roasted peanut & butternut squash
I love nothing more than a simple, easy recipe… something that is quick and that I can shove in the oven! This is vegan, and so delicious that my family were wolfing it down. With a hint of satay, it’s very more-ish and also very filling.
Banana & Carrot muffins
These muffins are so easy to make - whizzed up in literally five minutes! They are great for a lunch box, breakfast or just a snack (also delicious with nut butter or coconut oil liberally spread over them! This recipe makes 10-12 muffins.
Sweet potato & fish pie
I’ve been experimenting for months with a dairy-free & gluten-free fish pie, and this is it! I love fish pies, but not so much when they are super creamy. So this is my version of a fish pie.
Ginger, Carrot & Lentil Soup
This is so quick & easy to make and totally perfect for a chilly day. It’s carrot soup with a kick, so if you like a little zing, then this is for you! With the lentils, it’s also super filling too so will keep you full until your next meal.
Rainbow Quinoa Salad
This is a very filling salad - fab as a light lunch on its own, or as a side dish. The combination of the smokey paprika and the zingyness of the dressing is divine, and the rainbow colours are lush.
Cleansing smoothie
This is a refreshing & cleansing smoothie - a great way to start your day and keep you full until lunchtime.
