Main course suggestions for January are veggie options: Parsnip Risotto or Mixed Vegetable Thai Green Curry; omega 3 and antioxidant-rich Grilled Fish with Red Pepper Sauce, and our fabulous Easy Fish Stew; and to up the antioxidants even further in this month of mass detoxification, serve with a Kale Salad.
How about a seasonal fruity dessert that won't pile on the pounds? Baked Apples are a homely pud while Pears with free-from Chocolate Sauce are a real treat.
For some detoxification in a refeshing glass, do try our Carrot, Apple, Cucumber and Ginger Juice or a more heavy-duty Green Smoothie.
