Squash Cheese Fondue with Sage and Rosemary Dipping Crouton’s Recipe
Where do I start with this …. Oh my gosh! Deliiiicious! This tasted amazing, the sweet squash flesh coated in the creamy cheese, finished off with crunchy croutons oozing in the cheese. This is so clever as the baked squash keeps the fondue warm so it doesn’t harden or burn at the bottom like a…

Broccoli, Cavolo Nero and Leek Soup with Thyme and Parmesan Crouton’s Recipe
Soup is such a good way of using up veggies or if you want a big vitamin boost. I’m a fan of broccoli in a soup as I think it adds such a nice flavour. I do also think it is good to cook the veggies for minimal amount of time so they keep all…
Honey and Mustard Chicken and Avocado Salad with Rosemary and Parmesan Crouton’s Recipe
There is something comforting about succulent roast chicken in a salad with the creaminess of avocado.

Why is it healthy? A few reasons, firstly this recipe uses rapeseed oil to make the mayo, secondly the chicken and croutons are baked in the oven and not fried and finally it is completely egg free which makes it much lighter. We really enjoyed this salad and I would make it again for sure….
