May 2026 Recipes for CK Event
At the heart of my approach to food is a simple belief: What we eat should provide us with sustained energy, whilst supporting our gut health (which impacts all of our health markers) and overall wellbeing. As well as tasting delicious and being achievable in real life.
Shredded Red Cabbage Salad with Carlin Peas, Soya beans and Orange, with a Citrus Dressing.
Crunchy, fresh with a citrus zing. As with all salads think 2/3’s vegetable base with 1/3 either all legumes or a mix of legumes and wholegrains. So adjust ingredient amounts accordingly.
This will keep for a few days in the fridge and is a great lunchbox recipe.
Warm Roasted Vegetable, Lentil & Grain Salad
As with all salads think 2/3’s vegetable base with 1/3 either a mix of legumes and wholegrains.
You can serve this warm from the stove top as you’ve cooked the vegetables but it’s also delicious made in advance and served cold.
This will keep for a few days in the fridge and is a great lunchbox recipe.

Fibre is essential to support both sustained energy and our gut health yet 97% of the UK don’t meet the recommendations for eating enough fibre. A diet rich in vegetables, legumes and wholegrains is essential to meet this.
Charred Spring Greens Salad with Feta, Herbs & Hazelnuts (alongside a broad bead and avocado dip)
A vibrant, fresh salad packed with charred greens, sweet peas and asparagus, creamy feta, and a bright minty dressing. Perfect spring or summer salad as a meal in its self and delicious served alongside Avocado and Broad bean Guacamole.
Broccoli, Chickpea & Grain Salad with Sumac, Peanut & Barberries Dressing
This is a rich, indulgent salad, thanks to the peanut butter dressing, but it is delicious! Having said that - how much dressing you add to the vegetables is your choice. I make the dressing and put half on the salad and serve the remainder in a bowl with a ladle for people to have a choice.
Nutritious Shredded Salad
One of my favourite salad option first shown to me by my dear friend Melanie. You can make a large quantity of this salad as it keeps really well in the fridge for at least 3 or 4 days, but keep the dressing in a separate container.
