Packed with 36g of protein, Dr Rupy's overnight protein porridge is brimming with nuts, seeds, spices and fruit. The perfect balanced start to the day.
I pack my overnight oats with two key anti-inflammatory spices, cinnamon and turmeric. Soaking increases the digestibility of the oats and the cacao and hemp seeds provide a nice dose of protein. To add even more protein, you could use an unflavoured protein powder or even collagen, but I prefer to boost it with a healthy dose of pumpkin seeds or crunchy peanut butter. Have fun with this one. You can make a few jars at a time and they’ll keep nicely in the fridge for a high-fibre, high-protein grab-and-go breakfast. A dollop of natural yoghurt or kefir is a beautiful contrast to the rich chocolatey-ness.

Think of this as exactly what Nando’s wishes it was: vibrant spicy chicken with crispy skin served with crunchy fries and a spicy dipping sauce. Piri piri chillies aren’t widely available in Australia, unless you grow them yourself, but bird’s-eye chillies are easy to find and they do the trick.
I don’t remember much about the circumstances of my first cherry clafoutis. But I must have loved the classic French farmhouse dessert, because I’ve been trying to reproduce that first custardy, almond-scented pancake ever since.
Not quite a red curry, not quite a satay, this dish is the best of both worlds, inspired by Thai flavours and it is divine. It’s a throw-and-go recipe and I know we all love those at BOL. Perfect served with creamy coconut rice, some sliced red chilli and flatbreads.
Camellia Punjabi's recipe for the classic North Indian dish of stir-fried peppers with paneer is flavoured with a medley of spices and aromatics and makes for a brilliant vegetarian dish.
‘I always think that canapés should box slightly above their weight – in other words, they need to be vividly flavoured to succeed. Here, the combination of crisp brioche, salty feta, pickled walnuts, figs, honey and thyme is just that. If you like, there’s a recipe for pickling your own green walnuts on page 275 of Rick Stein’s Christmas. You can also make this with slices of goat’s cheese from a log instead of the whipped feta.’
These adorably spooky cookies are the perfect Halloween biscuit, with a perfect chocolate crumb and a coating of marshmallow cobwebs. You can also create a seasonal variation for Bonfire Night featuring a sprinkling of edible gold dust.
This is based on Brie’s great grandma’s recipe, which has been passed down for generations.
This no-bake cheesecake is deceptively easy to make but will make a big impact at your next Halloween party.
