In the Mood for Healthy Food

by Jo Pratt

from the publisher

Are you sleep-shopping and in a cooking rut? With work, family, trimming down for beach holidays, socialising and enjoying the latest Netflix original, it s easy to see how our time is taken away from the kitchen. Jo Pratt has cooked up this delectable must-have food Bible to get people cooking different feasts with the usual produce, adding a conveniently healthy element at the same time.
You buy what you know, what you re comfortable with chicken breasts, mince meat, salmon fillets, eggs, bags of spinach, tinned tomtoes, frozen prawns and cream cheese. Then you make a spag bol, and then a pasta bake from the left over spag bol. Jo's mission is to revolutionise our culinary habits away from the same basic ingredients and fail safe meals, breathing new yummy but healthy life from the shopping basket to the oven! Quinoa instead of couscous for a Moroccan Fish Tagine, blitzed avocado instead of cream cheese for a Creamy Salmon Pasta, or poaching the fish in a flavour-packed miso soup instead of frying. From simple alternatives to more adventurous masterpieces, all Jo's recipes tease the taste-buds and utilise kitchen hacks every cook needs.
