Sweet Potato Aloo Gobi
Instead of the usual potato, we’ve used sweet potato for added colour, sweetness and nutrients. Aloo gobi is a side dish, but you can serve it over rice for a vegetarian main course.

Warm Caprese Salad
Normally caprese salad is made in the summer months with fresh ripe tomatoes. For the rest of the year when tomatoes may not be at their best, a great way to develop tomato flavour is to slowly oven-roast them, as we do here.

Pain Perdu with Maple Blueberry Sauce
So-named because it can be made with stale bread that would otherwise be lost (perdu), this dish is a brunch classic. It’s low fat as is, but you can dress it up by serving with whipped cream and fresh strawberries if you like.

Fattoush
Fattoush is a Middle Eastern vegetable and herb salad that contains toasted bread, usually pita. You’ll need a vegetable grill basket for this grilled version, to keep the smaller veggies from falling through the grill.

Chocolate Pots de Creme
Pot de crème is a barely set, creamy French custard served in small dishes. Traditionally it is thickened with eggs and baked in a water bath, but we’ve “cheated” by using Devon custard, eliminating the baking step.

Maple Balsamic Fig Salad with Goat Cheese Croquettes

Cream Cheese Brownie Cupcakes
Enjoy the best of both worlds with this delectable brownie cupcake! Never cook any brownie until the tester comes out clean, or they will be dry- the tester should still be moist or even have a few crumbs clinging to it.
