Greek style feta, aubergine and mint salad

March 31, 2022Anna's Best Recipes Main courses Sides, starters, soups & snacks

Just invented this last week from what we had in the fridge. It’s LOVELY with its blend of salty, smokey and fresh flavours. Lovely with a fresh mixed salad. Make sure to buy actual feta which is made from ewe (sheep) or goat milk. Do try to avoid the nasty pitted olives in black water […]

Tahini salad dressing

October 22, 2021Anna's Best Recipes Dressings, rubs, spreads, sauces & more

This is gorgeous Middle Eastern style dressing – creamy, tangy and moreish. Drizzle it over a salad or grilled/roast fish or chicken. If you want you can use a little less water or kefir to make this thicker and use as a dip. 1 rounded tbs light tahini (raw brand if possible, e.g. Carly’s) 1-2 […]

Super simple roast cauliflower

October 3, 2021Anna's Best Recipes Sides, starters, soups & snacks

I love this and I’ve made it so many times now I don’t need a recipe. Make it as cauliflower “steaks” or florets (a bit faster). If you prefer an Indian vibe use a spice blend of 1 level tsp each of ground cumin, coriander and turmeric alongside the pepper and salt. 1 whole cauliflower, […]

Easy venison or beef stew with celeriac

February 7, 2021Anna's Best Recipes Main courses

I love to make this and put half in the freezer for a lovely fast dinner some other time. I like to save half the skin of an organic orange to use in this recipe. I just chop it up small and it “disappears” during cooking, leaving its beautiful flavour (in some traditional French rustic […]

Vegetable curry

January 24, 2021Anna's Best Recipes Main courses Sides, starters, soups & snacks

This was a lovely curry my mother used to make from time to time. If you are making this a vegan dinner, its a great idea to bump up protein by serving with cooked quinoa and maybe adding some tinned chickpeas along with the courgettes. Otherwise you are very low on protein. I might also […]

Corncrake pot roast

October 23, 2020Anna's Best Recipes Main courses

My mother sent me the recipe cut out of the newspaper and I love it. Just the thing for a cold, dark Autumn night as we all stay in our houses. Many of my patients find that a paleo-style diet (vegetable-rich, virtually grain-free, dairy-free with meat, fish, eggs and good fats) makes them feel SO […]

Chilli con carne/chilli con turkey

September 16, 2020Anna's Best Recipes Main courses

This is super-easy and works with turkey or beef mince. It tastes even better the next day and freezes brilliantly too. That’s why I always make enough for 4 and freeze half for one of those “don’t feel much like cooking” nights. For 4: 2 x 400g tins borlotti or red kidney beans, drained and […]
