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.

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.

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Bring stuffed squash up to date with this risotto filling, richly flavoured with duck or chicken livers, red wine, garlic and sage. Full of iron and vitamins, duck and chicken livers are nutritious and surprisingly cheap freezer standby ingredients that are excellent for adding lots of flavour to vegetable and carbohydrate-based dishes.

Steamed sea bass fillets with spring vegetables

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Oriental steamer baskets are most handy for this dish – you can stack them so that everything can be steamed together. The moist heat from steaming ensures that the fish doesn't dry out. If using a liquid fish stock base or a cube, make up the stock half strength as it will get a lot of flavour from the marinade.
