Here's my fave slow cooker meal, which packs in tonnes of vegetables and has a gorgeous rich flavour, but from a kid's perspective is still pretty much just pasta with tomato sauce. More

Sweet potato and eggplant are cooked to soft, gooey perfection and shine against a backdrop of familiar sweet and savoury flavours in this simple tagine. Tagines are traditionally slow cooked in the earthenware pot for which they are named, so they couldn't be better suited to a slow cooker. More

Creamy feta and avocado combine beautifully with lightly spiced cauliflower in this irresistible wrap. Pomegranate seeds provide bursts of sweet and sour flavour with every bite, while chickpeas add a subtle nutty flavour and plenty of protein to make this a wholesome, nutritious meal that's so delicious you'll want to make it again and again. More

In this easy Indian-inspired meal the tandoori-marinated tofu steals the show, complemented perfectly by cumin and turmeric rice. The addition of currants, cashews, coriander, and mint gives a burst of freshness and texture. More

I love the robust, earthy combination of ground cumin and smoked paprika with root vegetables, and in this hearty salad these spices shine through beautifully, tempered by the sweet tang of orange zest.

Today I want to tell you the story of my enchanting New Year's Eve, spent with good friends in a little hut nestled deep in the forest of Mount Aspiring National Park on the west coast of New Zealand. More

Anyone who knows me will tell you I am an absolute toast fiend. So when I tell you this toast is my favourite of all time, you know it means something! The classic combination of avocado and feta is already amazing on its own, but add in the tang of sumac and the acidity of lime juice and you have something pretty special. More

My first creation since coming home is packed with the best, boldest flavours – spicy jalapenos, tangy lemon and sumac, salty feta, and fresh spring onions, among even more good stuff. It might look light enough, but the combination of falafel and lentils give this meal some serious filling power. Packed into a wrap or eaten straight from the fork, this meal really hits the spot. Ditch the feta and use hommus instead of yoghurt for an (almost) equally delicious vegan option. More

The rich flavours of red wine, kalamata olives and tomatoes meld beautifully in this zesty, hearty sauce. And with only two ingredients requiring any kind of prep, it's a relaxed cooking experience! More

Capers can be pretty divisive. I'm still not sure whether on balance I love them or I hate them, but in this dish their salty, slightly bitter taste works beautifully with the sweet green peas and mint to complement the tender lemony tofu. More

In general, anything with jalapenos, lime, and coriander is okay with me, and this easy combo of pumpkin, red capsicum and red onion on a crispy pizza base is the perfect canvas for them. More

Smoky lemon tofu and fried zucchini and peas combine with fresh tomatoes and red onion to create a fresh, nutritious salad that can just as comfortably be enjoyed cold as hot. More

This salad is packed with low-GI, high-protein seeds and grains. It'll satisfy your hunger like nothing else and leave you feeling full of energy. Plus, it's great hot, warm, or cold. More

Rather than the bold, intense flavours I usually like to play with, the subtlety of mozzarella and zucchini keeps things a bit more muted in this recipe and really brings the broccolini, basil and pine nut flavours to the fore. But for those who like a bit of extra kick, parmesan and feta are welcome additions. More
