Summer

Get ready to be whisked away to the Mediterranean with the subtle use of saffron and a splash of fino sherry – this is a great dish for alfresco dining

Roasted radishes add a lovely pop of colour and sweetness to this Scandi-inspired meal. Some crispy toasted rye bread goes great on the side

Good old bangers and mash, but lighter in style to suit the warmer months

For gut health, it’s important to keep an eye on the range of plant-based food you eat, so you can get closer to hitting that magic target of 30 different plants a week. For example, don’t use just one type of nut in cooking, when you could use two (we’ve used a mix of cashews and walnuts here). And don’t forget that herbs and spices contribute towards your plant count total – even just a pinch!

Give your chicken some extra fizz courtesy of a zingy marinade

Get one step closer to the Amalfi coast with this Italian-inspired recipe. Try adding some juicy cherry tomatoes to the peppers before roasting.
