This is a super quick and gluten free bread recipe that works well with both savoury and sweet additions. If you don’t have oat flour, simply whizz up the oats in a food processor until you get a flour like consistency. I love this toasted with either nut butter, berries and cinnamon or eggs, avocado and kimchi! https://www.claudiacriswell.com/recipes/chocolate-and-pear-porridge monthly 0.5 2023-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65636265448c840d9df77aaa/d2a61a9d-4227-4caf-8bb1-d74eb4342d0d/chocolate-pear-porridge-claudia-criswell.jpeg RECIPES - CHOCOLATE AND PEAR PORRIDGE - A SIMPLE BREAKFAST That has been keeping me warm and satisfied over these colder months.

The addition of beans and chickpeas adds a little more protein and fibre as well as a creamy texture. Salsa verde is a great one to have in the fridge - it enhances almost any dish and lasts for around 3-5 days in an airtight container in the fridge. I tend to make a big batch on the weekend to add to meals throughout the week. https://www.claudiacriswell.com/recipes/berry-smoothie monthly 0.5 2023-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65636265448c840d9df77aaa/2e4cdbc5-64e2-4a4f-8bb4-773a663c27bd/berry-smoothie-recipe-claudia-criswell.jpg RECIPES - BERRY SMOOTHIE - SECRET VEGGIES Smoothies can be a great way of increasing your daily fruit & veg intake and can work well alongside a meal or as a snack. I love mixing and matching different flavours and recommend incorporating 1-2 portions of veg, 1 portion fruit with some form of protein and fat alongside your choice of liquid. Not only will this enhance the nutritional value (micronutrients, fibre, protein, essential fats) of the smoothie but can help support energy and blood glucose levels too. https://www.claudiacriswell.com/recipes/rhubarb-ginger-orange-compote monthly 0.5 2023-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65636265448c840d9df77aaa/2a7a41f6-8521-4bf9-a570-dfc07fa51ce5/rhubarb-ginger-orange-compote-recipe-claudia-criswell.jpeg RECIPES - RHUBARB, GINGER & ORANGE COMPOTE - PERFECT TO EXPERIMENT WITH I love the colours in this recipe and it always reminds me of the start of summer.

Brussels sprouts are part of the cruciferous vegetable family and are a great source of fibre and micronutrients including vitamin C & K. Anchovies are a rich source of protein, omega 3 fatty acids and micronutrients including calcium and zinc. When roasted, they crisp up and effectively disintegrate, adding a wonderful salty taste to the sprouts which surprisingly isn’t too ‘fishy’. Feel free to add a drizzle of balsamic glaze, honey or a sprinkling of dried cranberries if you fancy adding a little sweetness to balance out the salty from the anchovies and bitterness of the sprouts. https://www.claudiacriswell.com/recipes/spiced-chickpeas monthly 0.5 2023-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65636265448c840d9df77aaa/01fa8699-ab5c-4dc8-a737-de8c873ac232/roasted-chickpeas-recipe-claudia-criswell.jpeg RECIPES - SPICED CHICKPEAS - SIMPLE SAVOURY SNACK I often get asked for simple savoury snack recipes and have found these to be incredibly popular with clients. They can be eaten on their own or added to salads, soups, stews etc. for extra crunch and flavour. I love making them with smoked paprika, za’atar or cumin & turmeric but they also taste fab with a little honey/maple syrup, cinnamon or allspice. Feel free to mix up your own flavours as well as pulse/bean variety. https://www.claudiacriswell.com/recipes/miso-roasted-squash-with-cavolo-nero-and-pearled-spelt monthly 0.5 2025-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65636265448c840d9df77aaa/922a7c64-1039-4976-9633-547adcaa6587/miso-roasted-squash-cavolo-nero-recipe-claudia-criswell.jpeg RECIPES - MISO ROASTED SQUASH WITH CAVOLO NERO AND PEARLED SPELT - NUTRITIOUS AND BALANCED This is an adaptation of an Anna Jones recipe with a few additions to make it an even more nutritious and balanced meal. Wholegrains are a rich source of fibre (as well as nutrients) and feta adds a little more protein and saltiness which complements the sweetness of the miso perfectly. This works well as a main or a side and feel free to substitute with any other veg or grains you may have. I prefer wilted cavolo nero although it works just as well without blanching the greens and adds an extra crunch. https://www.claudiacriswell.com/recipes/apple-pear-ginger-compote monthly 0.5 2023-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65636265448c840d9df77aaa/2b6f9c14-3773-4727-8ecf-6a8adbb2dd81/apple-pear-ginger-compote-recipe-claudia-criswell.jpeg RECIPES - APPLE, PEAR AND GINGER COMPOTE - WARMING AND SOOTHING My aunt and uncle dropped round some homegrown apples which I immediately made into a compote with pear and grated ginger to add to my breakfasts. I would recommend keeping the skins on for the extra fibre and feel free to incorporate other fruits/spices for added variety. Some people find fruit easier to digest when cooked and ginger has a wonderfully soothing effect on the digestive system. https://www.claudiacriswell.com/recipes/zaatar-cannellini-bean-dip monthly 0.5 2023-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65636265448c840d9df77aaa/c51c8559-4e94-4446-a6a0-7ec1d2c8b11d/zaatar-cannellini-bean-dip-recipe-claudia-criswell.jpeg RECIPES - ZA’ATAR AND CANNELLINI BEAN DIP - ZA’ATAR - AMAZING DIP ADDITION Za’atar is a Middle Eastern spice mix that you can buy or make from scratch. It usually contains a combination of sesame, sumac, thyme, oregano, cumin, coriander and salt. I lather it on meat/fish/roasted veggies etc and have just discovered it tastes AMAZING in dips. We’ve been munching on this toast, with crudités, roasted veg and on its own. https://www.claudiacriswell.com/recipes/chocolate-orange-granola monthly 0.5 2023-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65636265448c840d9df77aaa/d58645a5-8771-4b36-a59a-77f094e1390d/chocolate-orange-granola-recipe-claudia-criswell.jpeg RECIPES - CHOCOLATE ORANGE GRANOLA - HEAVEN SCENT This makes the flat smell like brownies and is unbelievably moreish. If you like chunky granola, leave to cool completely once cooked without stirring before breaking it up into clusters. It will last a few weeks in an airtight container too. https://www.claudiacriswell.com/recipes/tomato-avocado-lentil-salad-basil-dressing monthly 0.5 2023-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65636265448c840d9df77aaa/b8bd7013-1d13-4051-8ff4-97c2930c460e/tomato-avocado-lentil-salad-claudia-criswell.jpeg RECIPES - TOMATO, AVOCADO AND LENTIL SALAD WITH BASIL DRESSING - SIMPLE AND SPEEDY Simple and speedy to make, this dish serves 1 as a main or 2 as a side (works perfectly with fish and a green salad). Dried, tinned and pre-cooked lentils all work well and feel free to add extra feta, mozzarella, other veggies, toasted nuts and seeds if you wish. https://www.claudiacriswell.com/recipes/homemade-ginger-juice-mint-lime monthly 0.5 2023-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65636265448c840d9df77aaa/2d778c1f-0ffa-448b-b01b-ec9a73b8430d/homemade-ginger-juice-recipe-claudia-criswell.jpeg RECIPES - HOMEMADE GINGER JUICE WITH LIME AND MINT - PERFECT REFRESHER I permanently have a bottle of homemade ginger juice in the fridge. It doesn’t take long to make and can be stored in the fridge for up to a week, although I tend to get through one in a few days! You can vary the strength of the juice by altering the amount of water you mix it with. I prefer having a very strong juice which I can then dilute with hot water to make teas or use as a base with herbs and fizzy water for a refreshing drink (pictured). It goes well in smoothies too. If you prefer a more mild flavour, simply add more water before whizzing. https://www.claudiacriswell.com/recipes/slow-roasted-tomatoes-pomegranate-molasses-thyme monthly 0.5 2023-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65636265448c840d9df77aaa/abd62caa-d9f2-4e5b-af45-2c1010ced6d8/slow-roasted-tomatoes-recipe-claudia-criswell.jpeg RECIPES - SLOW ROASTED TOMATOES WITH POMEGRANATE MOLASSES AND THYME - SIMPLE AND TANGY This is incredibly simple to make and leave cooking for a few hours. The addition of pomegranate molasses transforms the tomatoes making them irresistibly sweet and tangy. They work well on toast (I had them with hummus and toasted seeds in the photo) or as an accompaniment with fish, meat, other grains and pulses etc. This recipe makes enough for roughly 2-3 portions so do double it if you need more than that. https://www.claudiacriswell.com/recipes/banana-bread monthly 0.5 2023-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65636265448c840d9df77aaa/9a619f39-c202-4964-9887-2bd2bfbf7aed/banana-bread-recipe-claudia-criswell.jpeg RECIPES - BANANA BREAD - PERFECT FOR BREAKFAST OR SNACKING Banana bread appears to be one of the most popular baking choices in lockdown. This recipe isn’t too sweet and has a slightly nutty taste - perfect for breakfast/snacks. I love this toasted with nut butter or yoghurt and fresh berries. https://www.claudiacriswell.com/recipes/roasted-cauliflower-with-salsa-verde monthly 0.5 2023-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65636265448c840d9df77aaa/26c7685b-3d14-40a9-9365-1b694944b73a/roasted-cauliflower-salsa-verde-recipe-claudia-criswell.jpeg RECIPES - ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH SALSA VERDE - SIMPLE YET EFFECTIVE My favourite way to cook cauliflower is roasting with salt, pepper and olive oil. Simple yet effective and don’t forget about the leaves, arguably the tastiest part of the vegetable. They go slightly crispy and taste amazing with the sharpness of the salsa verde. I use a food processor for ease however this tastes equally delicious chopped by hand - finely chop all the herbs and garlic and mix with the rest of the ingredients. https://www.claudiacriswell.com/recipes/cardamom-granola monthly 0.5 2023-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65636265448c840d9df77aaa/c3325b36-f6c0-44f6-848b-5b7f79713401/cardamom-granola-recipe-claudia-criswell.jpeg RECIPES - CARDAMOM GRANOLA - THE CARDAMON MAKES THIS SPECIAL I absolutely love the taste of cardamom and it makes this granola extra special. I like nutty granola but please feel free to add in any other toppings e.g. dried fruits, coconut flakes, spices etc. This will last in an airtight container for weeks. https://www.claudiacriswell.com/recipes/vegan-banana-and-blueberry-oat-cookies monthly 0.5 2023-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65636265448c840d9df77aaa/4fec3cf4-750c-4294-bf1a-a29df99b1556/vegan-oat-banana-cookies-recipe-claudia-criswell.jpeg RECIPES - VEGAN BANANA AND BLUEBERRY OAT COOKIES - YUMMY AND NUTRITIOUS These cookies contain lots of nutritious ingredients and are only sweetened by the bananas and a little honey. I love having them for breakfast or as a snack and I hope you enjoy them too. https://www.claudiacriswell.com/recipes/stewed-pears-with-ginger monthly 0.5 2023-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65636265448c840d9df77aaa/9a624b10-9e16-4a2a-881e-ef55fefd56f7/stewed-pear-ginger-recipe-claudia-criswell.jpeg RECIPES - STEWED PEARS WITH GINGER - DELIGHTFUL COMBINATION The combination of these two ingredients is delightful. Pear gives a natural sweetness with the slight kick from the ginger. The pears go lovely and soft the longer you stew them and feel free to add in more or less ginger depending on your preference. I make a batch of this at the beginning of the week and have it for breakfast with yoghurt/kefir and some of my baked muesli or granola. It also tastes amazing with nut butter, toasted seeds, ground flaxseed, porridge and all types of yoghurt and milk. https://www.claudiacriswell.com/recipes/seeded-crackers monthly 0.5 2023-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65636265448c840d9df77aaa/513e7d51-c10e-4925-ae27-06563240fb57/seed-cracker-recipe-claudia-criswell.jpeg RECIPES - SEED CRACKERS - PERFECT ACCOMPANIMENT These go really well with dips/spreads/nut butters/soups/cheese and even on their own. Once cool, you can store them in an airtight container for over a week. https://www.claudiacriswell.com/recipes/smokey-butter-bean-garlicky-greens monthly 0.5 2023-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65636265448c840d9df77aaa/01426d0f-1bf9-4f53-acb7-ec7305c76e7a/butter-bean-garlicky-greens-recipe-claudia-criswell.jpeg RECIPES - SMOKEY BUTTER BEANS WITH GARLICKY GREENS - WARMING AND VERSATILE I find this dish incredibly warming and works really well as a base for whatever you have in the fridge or store cupboard. If you would rather not use chorizo, just add in a little extra smoked paprika. Feel free to add in extra veggies and alternative beans/pulses if you have them too. I’ve written this recipe with quinoa however the casserole also works wonders on a thick slice of toast. https://www.claudiacriswell.com/recipes/chocolate-orange-cookies monthly 0.5 2023-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65636265448c840d9df77aaa/df62add0-6b05-4bd7-9422-bf54e2921dae/chocolate-orange-cookies-recipe-claudia-criswell.jpeg RECIPES - CHOCOLATE ORANGE COOKIES - SATISFYINGLY EASY I have been baking these non stop for the last few days and delivering them to friends on my daily walk whilst in lockdown. So far, they have had good reviews but do let me know how you get on! I use buckwheat flour but they do work well with other gluten filled and non gluten flours. If you’re not so keen on orange and chocolate together, they taste just as good without. https://www.claudiacriswell.com/recipes/roasted-tomato-red-pepper-soup monthly 0.5 2023-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65636265448c840d9df77aaa/511a21f2-2303-4465-a196-78e34b89e7be/roasted-red-pepper-%26%2Btomato-soup-recipe-claudia-criswell.jpeg RECIPES - SLOW ROASTED TOMATO & RED PEPPER SOUP - SIMPLE YET DELICIOUS I find slow roasted tomatoes with garlic and herbs super simple and yet unbelievably delicious.
