Cauliflower and parsnip marry for a delicious alternative to mashed potatoes.

Cauliflower with crispy crumbs

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

The crispy golden topping in this simple side dish is usually made by frying the breadcrumbs in a generous quantity of butter. This version uses a modest portion of olive oil and fresh herbs to flavour a topping that tastes good with all steamed or boiled vegetables, and contrasts particularly well with steamed cauliflower.

Champ is an Irish dish of mashed potatoes and leeks, and here the tomato dressing adds colour as well as vitamins. Potatoes, in this dish unpeeled, contain their best source of fibre and nutrients in and just under the skin.

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

These Chinese dumplings, known as shao may or shiu may, have a chicken filling, which is lighter than the traditional pork mixture. Wonton wrappers, sold in Oriental food stores, can be used, or you can make your own pasta wrapping. Serve these dim sum as the starter for a multi-course Chinese meal.

Japanese chicken salad

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Be the first to review it!

The ingredients for this salad are presented individually on a platter rather than being mixed together, with a simple tahini-based dressing so everyone can help themselves. Typical of Japanese cooking, there is a fairly small amount of meat per person, but plenty of raw vegetables to crunch through and fill you up.

Leek & Potato Soup with Canellini Beans

Recipe by: yourmajesty

Be the first to review it!

I love soups especially in the winter. I also love my pressure cooker because it saves time, fuel and nutrients. I was looking for a hearty soup that included leeks and I cast around my kitchen for ingredients. There were plenty of potatoes and leeks so that was my starting point. This is almost a meal in a dish and my family all love it. It is virtually fat freeand low in salt.

Moules à la Provençale

Recipe by: Corinne Hobin

Tomatoes and garlic are essential to this dish, which is light, fresh and full of flavour. A perfect preparation for mussels if you like to avoid the cream and butter so prominent in many other recipes.

Mushroom, Stilton and Broccoli pie

Recipe by: RoseEast

Be the first to review it!

I had a pie in a cafe which had some of the above ingredients and liked it but felt it was a little heave and rich. I have made my own lighter version which is tasty enough to not need any salt, which is good for everyone, not just people with heart problems.

Old Fashioned Carrot Pudding

Recipe by: COGRANDMA4

Be the first to review it!

I received this recipe about 40 years ago from a friend who said it had been in her family for generations. It comes out wonderfully moist and flavourful. I have given it as Christmas gifts many times and it's always very well received.
