Based on the classic leek and potato soup, this version has asparagus and sugarsnap peas added, and it is enriched with yogurt rather than cream for a lighter, lower-fat result. Traditionally served chilled, the soup can also be served hot, so it is ideal for days when the weather is changeable.

Broccoli and red pepper quiche

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Reviews(1)

This vegetable-packed quiche is cooked in a large, deeper-than-average tin and the pastry is rolled out thinly to give a generous amount of filling and small proportion of pastry in each slice. Serve warm, rather than piping hot or chilled, with a lightly dressed, crisp salad.

Potato and pumpkin gratin

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

When making a layered gratin such as this it's important to think about how the vegetables will cook, how much moisture they will release and whether or not they will hold their shape after cooking. A mixture of roots and softer vegetables yields a well-textured result and provides a good mix of nutrients.
