Pasta with potato, beans and pesto
Recipe by:

This is a traditional Ligurian dish that is usually made with potatoes, green beans and baby broad beans. Here, broccoli and courgettes boost the green vegetable content. The pesto sauce used to dress the pasta and vegetables is lighter than most, but still packs a wonderful flavoursome punch.

Here's a quick version of the popular Indian samosas, baked rather than deep-fried for a healthy, light result.

Potato crisps
Recipe by:
ALMALOU
Making potato crisps is fun and easy. Guaranteed they won't last long! A food processor with a slicing attachment is very helpful. Experiment with the thickness, you may like them thicker or thinner. I like to use olive oil because it has less trans fats, but you can use safflower, corn or groundnut oil as well as vegetable oil.

Leek & Potato Soup with Canellini Beans
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.
