Tartine is a French word for an open sandwich, usually served for breakfast with some butter and jam. I like to take it to the next level, add some delicious ingredients and transform this simple piece of bread into something special.

Rice pudding is one of the most comforting British desserts and a great afternoon treat. I try to avoid refined sugar as much as possible, so we will use a good quality honey instead. This recipe is quick to prepare and takes only 45 minutes to bake but don’t forget to double the time if you are making a bigger batch for the family.

This dark chocolate bark is a great alternative to a traditional chocolate bar and will come in handy when your energy levels are low, and you need a little boost to get you through the day! A mix of 70 % dark chocolate (containing iron and magnesium) and the superfoods – dried cherries, nuts and seeds is the kind of snack that will make you feel good and tastes delicious!

I love to wake up to a ready breakfast, that’s why Kefir Bircher Muesli is one of my favourite breakfast foods. Simple but super nutritious, it can be prepared the night before. I love adding extra superfoods to the recipe (a pinch of turmeric, raw honey, and blueberries) and replacing natural yoghurt with kefir for extra gut health benefits. Oats soaked overnight are easier to digest and a great source of fibre which is essential to keeping the digestive system healthy.

I love delicious drinks, especially when they are low in sugar and alcohol-free. I am pretty sure most people are familiar with kombucha as it has been super trendy for a couple of years now. Kombucha is a fermented tea made up of a few simple ingredients: tea, water, sugar, yeast and bacteria that help with the fermentation process (called SCOBY - which stands for “symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast).

Perfect lunch dish you can take to work with you, great for freezing as well. Spicy roasted cauliflower soup topped with crispy chickpeas and kale - warming and filling, made with roasted cauliflower and topped with kale, they are both a great source of sulforaphane.

Lasagne is a wonderful and familiar classic dish and my favourite since I was a girl – I still love to make it every year for my birthday to share with family and friends over dinner. It is the ultimate comfort food with delicious layers of pasta, creamy béchamel, tomato sauce and 2 different types of cheese - the traditional Italian recipe does not contain any mozzarella, but I like to add it for extra flavour. I usually replace regular pasta with the wholegrain version for the higher amount of natural fibre and micronutrients.

Homemade bone broth is one of the most health boosting foods you can make. Known for its healing values, it is full of gelatine which is made from dissolved collagen and other nutrients including: iron, calcium, vitamin D, vitamins C and B1.

Banana pancakes are my go-to weekend breakfast when I feel like having something a little bit more special than my regular porridge. My boys love it too as the pancakes are as fluffy and sweet as the regular American pancakes but made of light, healthy ingredients.

These energy balls are a perfect treat - they are quick to prepare, they do not need baking and are made from very basic ingredients you can easily find in your kitchen cupboard. I enjoy them in the morning with a cup of tea or have them in the late afternoon when I need a little energy boost between meetings with clients.

What is not to like about these mini cupcakes? They are dairy and gluten free, look super cute, taste delicious and are made with wholesome ingredients. Even though they are made without sugar and white flour they do not compromise on taste! I promise these chocolate cupcakes will become your favourite treat from the very first bite.

A bulletproof coffee is my go-to when I need a lot of energy and I know my morning will be filled with appointments. This creamy, high in fat and rich in antioxidants latte-like drink is made with a great quality coffee, and traditionally with organic grass-fed butter and MCT oil derived from coconut.
