Vegetable & Chick Pea Tagine
I love Moroccan food. The mixture of spices along with dried fruit, lots of vegetables served on cous cous or bulgur wheat just smells and tastes so good.
This Tagine is vegan, although I like it served with a huge dollop of yoghurt (you can use vegan yoghurt) It freezes really well, so I make up double quantity and freeze it in individual portions for a quicker meal next time.
Vegan diets can be lacking in iron. The apricots, spinach, chick peas, bulgar wheat and prunes all provide iron, so this is a great meal if you’re concerned about your iron intake.
If you enjoy this Tagine as much as we do, I’d love it if you could leave a comment below.
Hope you enjoy it.

ps – On the recipe card I’ve removed the parsley, that’s in the video. The spinach adds a lovely green colour so the parsley isn’t needed.
Sesame Tofu Toast
These Sesame Tofu Toast triangles are full of flavour, soft and crunchy and a great source of protein too.
They can be a snack, starter, canapé or part of your main meal. They freeze well too.
Sesame seeds are a good source of copper, an essential nutrient that is involved in the transport of iron, needed for making red blood cells.

If you try them…. I’d love to know what you think 🙏🏻
Falafel (Air Fryer or oven baked)
We love Falafel – There were so many failed attempts leading up to this final recipe. So many times I made what we called flamush – falafel mush. It tasted great but just wouldn’t hold. Finally – I made a recipe that worked. You still need to be careful and they won’t make perfect balls but they do hold together, they taste delicious and they’re not deep fried. They freeze well – either cook them and freeze them or freeze them on a board, raw, then transfer to a bag once frozen. I cook them straight from the freezer – into a hot air fryer. Serve in pitta with hummus and lots of salads. Delicious served with a little Belazu Smoked Chilli Harissa.
If you enjoy this recipe as much as we do, I’d love it if you could leave a comment for others.

Sausage Rolls
These are not what you would consider a particularly ‘healthy food’ but a healthy attitude to food should include eating foods that you enjoy in moderation.
You can finely grate a courgette and mix it into the sausage meat to add a little vegetable, or paint some mustard next to the sausage before rolling the pastry, or just enjoy them as they are.
Chunky Vegetable Soup
This soup was introduced to me by my friend Dalia. She made it with barley and grated cheese and it was delicious.
This is a slightly quicker version, made with potato instead of barley. A simple winter warmer. Made with carrots, leeks, potatoes and courgettes for a variety of phytonutrients.
Raspberry Flapjacks
These Raspberry Flapjacks take just four and a half minutes from starting to getting in the oven. They contain less than half the quantity of ‘butter’ (I use coconut oil) and 2/3 less ‘sugar’ (I use maple syrup) than traditional flapjacks and they are nut free so are great for school packed lunches
They contain 250g raspberries, which contain Fibre, Vitamins C, K and Manganese. Manganese is needed for bone formation. So if you want a delicious flapjack….. this is a much healthier version than ‘normal’ flapjacks.

Banana Rollups
One minute bananas are good, the next they’re overripe and no-one wants to eat them.
I hate waste – so as well as the obvious Banana Bread, I pop them in the food processor, whizz them up, bake into Banana Rollups and suddenly they’re good to eat again. 😉
Carrot Cake Porridge
I love porridge and I love carrot cake, so this seemed like a perfect pairing. I wasn’t sure about the ginger at first but it adds a fiery kick, which I really like. It provides one of your 5 a day at breakfast which I really like too.
The beta-glucans in oats help reduce cholesterol and Carrots are a rich source of Beta carotene which can be converted into vitamin A in the body to help maintain healthy skin.
