Apricot flapjack tart

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

Make the most of aromatic, golden apricots when they're in season by using them in this attractive tart. It has a sweet orange shortcrust base and is topped with a crumbled flapjack-style mixture of oats, sultanas, hazelnuts and seeds. Serve slightly warm for dessert or with morning coffee or afternoon tea. The recipe for sweet shortcrust pastry is separate. Look in the notes section for how to make orange sweetcrust pastry.

Caramelised banana crumpets

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

Forget about smothering toasted crumpets in butter; this low-fat topping is really yummy and much healthier. Lightly mashed bananas are mixed with creamy fromage frais and warm spices and piled onto crumpets, then finished by drizzling with honey and grilled until bubbling. It's the perfect quick sweet snack.

Chunky vegetable soup

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Be the first to review it!

Although this is a hearty soup, laden with vegetables, it has a delicate flavour. Home-made stock is best, but you can use a good-quality bought stock (chilled or from a cube or powder); if using a cube or powder, do not add additional salt at the beginning of cooking as you may find these products provide enough salty seasoning.

Cockles and mussels have a high content of selenium, a cancer-fighting antioxidant, as well as iron and vitamin B12. Sage and a mixture of finely chopped vegetables add different flavours and extra nutrients to the simple sauce of tomatoes and wine.

Foil-baked salmon trout with gooseberry and elderflower sauce

Recipe by: Chrissie Lloyd

Be the first to review it!

Gooseberries arrive in early summer, just when elderflower bushes burst into creamy-white blossom. Together they make a piquant sauce for a whole salmon trout, cooked in foil to keep it deliciously moist and to ensure minimal loss of nutrients.

Garden of Eden soup

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Be the first to review it!

An assortment of vegetables cooked in tomato juice and stock makes a simple, satisfying soup that tastes terrific. For this recipe you can take advantage of frozen vegetables, such as broccoli, beans and peas. They cut down on preparation time, and are just as nutritious as fresh vegetables.

Ginger nuts

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

Here’s a healthier version of a traditional favourite. Bake quick round biscuits, or buy some fancy cutters and encourage children to have a go at making gingerbread figures or stars, and give them dried fruit or nut decorations. Whatever the shape, theses spicy, crunchy biscuits taste terrific.

Grilled oysters with bacon and lemon

Recipe by: Chrissie Lloyd

Be the first to review it!

Quick, simple grilling is a good way to turn these low-calorie, zinc-filled treats into a regular favourite. Use lean back bacon for this dish as it is lower in fat than streaky bacon. Sweet-flavoured Wiltshire cure bacon would be ideal.
