ROASTED CARROT, PEARLED SPELT AND ORANGE SALAD If youu2019re not a fennel fan, youu2019ve obviously never tried roasting it. After sitting in the oven for 30 minutes (at least), seasoned with sea salt flakes and cracked black pepper, the fennel becomes gooey and soft in between the layers and slightly crisp around the edges. Itu2019s a real treat. From a health perspective, this delicious salad is a game changer. Broccoli sprouts are optional, as they can be tricky to get your hands on, however they are definitely worth mentioning as a hormone-balancing superhero ingredient to toss into salads. They contain sulforaphane, a fantastic compound that supports your liver through its natural detoxification process thus rebalancing oestrogen levels.

Food that quite literally hugs you warm, making the madness of your everyday life mute, if only for a brief moment. Itu2019s the type of food that not only makes your body feel good, but makes your soul overflow. Come the arrival of the colder seasons, I make a giant plant-based shepherdu2018s pie at least once a week and pick away at the remains for the days that follow. From the skin saviour that is delicious sweet potato, to the protein-packed mushroom and Puy lentil filling, it really is healthy home cooking at its best. GRILLED NECTARINES WITH DAIRY-FREE COCONUT YOGURT, HAZELNUT BUTTER AND FLAKED ALMONDS Dessert doesnu2019t always have to be decadent layers of gateaux, cream-stuffed profiteroles or fancy cru00e8me brulu00e9e pots. Sometimes dessert is light, fresh and acts as the perfect full stop to a meal. Grilling up juicy nectarine halves is a fabulous way to look like youu2019ve made an effort, without really having to. Top with thick coconut yogurt, flaked almonds and a drizzle of hazelnut butter, and you have yourself a fool-proof barbecue pud, or an easy shared brunch side.
