So many recipes on Family Fork take healthy ingredients and different flavours, and (aim) to make them appealing and available to the whole family. This recipe, conversely, takes a childhood favourite, baked beans, out of the tin and into super nutrition territory. It’s also the easiest recipe I think I have ever put together. […]

Sprouts with Pancetta, Garlic and Hazelnuts
Last week I extolled the virtues of encouraging kids to eat raw green vegetables by cutting courgettes to resemble the ever amusing spaghetti shape. So I pushed it, and tried the kid on shredded (then very lightly steamed) sweetheart cabbage, the response was ‘peegetti!’, ‘yes, of course, it’s green spaghetti!’, she loved it. Next stop […]
Spicy Pea and Broccoli Soup with Tiger Prawns
Last night as I lay in bed trying to sleep, I could hear whistling, it was either the dog or my husband breathing. I was annoyed; it wasn’t keeping me awake, I was in fact jealous of the breathing- I have a cold. I feel like germs have been stomping all over my lungs and […]
Parmesan Chicken with Raw Pesto Courgettini
It sometimes seems that I am on a never ending mission to reduce the amount of heavy starchy carbs that I eat, they encourage my blood sugar leves to misbehave and often make less room for more nutrient dense vegetables. Having a toddler in the house, however, means that we need balanced meals, varied […]
Cleansing Fennel and Walnut Salad with Torn Chicken
We have just de-decorated, chopped up the Christmas tree and cleaned our home back to normal. The twinkling lights, bright decorations and rich smelling fir tree all seemed to ignite and satisfy our senses in early December, and immerse us in festive feeling. In the light of a new year and it’s aspirations and plans […]
Dolcelatte Macaroni Cheese with Crunchy Hazelnuts
It’s almost the new year, and I can already hear the salad tongs clapping and the juicers powering up with detoxing and cleaning up in mind, so before we all look to the virtuous and healthy, I want to take a single post to celebrate the season of abundance, eating with abandon and delicious food! […]
Roasted Cod and Puy Lentils…not a hippie in sight
When I was younger, the idea of a family sitting around the table and tucking into a plate of lentils, was probably accompanied by the notion that they strummed a rainbow painted guitar, knitted their own underwear from reeds and practised naked family yoga. However, things move on, and while I haven’t yet made […]
Spinach & Watercress Soup with Goats Cheese & Walnuts
I like snow, I like rain, I like sun and I even like those grey mornings that promise drizzle. I like all weathers, and in the last two weeks in the UK we have seen summer eek out its final days in warm afternoons that require us to strip off our Autumn knitwear, then, before […]
Rustic and chunky- Mediterranean pasta with tuna, olives and capers
The beginning of the week calls for us all to drag ourselves out of fun weekends and back to weekday life. Chores, to-do lists, and back to work/school (both if you are a teacher..bummer) ensure that we all have enough on our plates to find ourselves rushed through the day with not much planned for […]
Coco-Peanutty Noodles with Fresh Tuna and Broccoli
The indulgence of a creamy pasta dish is something I always enjoy, but it generally conflicts with my low wheat, and low dairy diet. So when I fancy creamy oozy carbs, but still want to feel virtuous and dairy/wheat free, I look to the Far East for inspiration. Using nuts (in this case […]
