Lamb Souvlaki with zucchini pasta and babaganoush This recipe from the The Greengrocer’s Diet uses zucchini spirals. It adds colour and vibrancy to a delicious meal and reduces the total kJ intake which is important in Spring when we're trying to get our body's "("summer read) |

Red cabbage, Ginger and Arame Kraut This recipe and image from the book Ferment by Holly Davis (Murdoch Books RRP $45). A variation on traditional sauerkraut (a simple ferment made with white or red cabbage, salt and perhaps a spice such as caraway), this vibrant ferment is perfect paired with rich foods, helping to cut through the fat and balancing strong flavours – it’s my go-to with an eggy breakfast. Adding mineral-rich sea vegetables such as arame to ferments boosts the nutrient profile, while the ginger provides a lively kick. |

Persimmon, Burrata and Pistachio Salad A delicious, fresh and healthy dish featuring sweet persimmons, perfect to serve for starters or enjoy as a side salad with a BBQ. This salad is equally delicious and healthy with a bocconcini or feta cheese instead of burrata! Recipe courtesy of Persimmons Australia |

Grilled chicken with rosemary, pinenut and parmesan crust This is an improved adaptation from a recipe in The Greengrocer’s Diet, and has become a favourite it's super easy and it's particularly good on a budget. You can use either kale or spinach as shown in the picture but I prefer the robustness of kale. |

Raw Rios This recipe from the book Hippie Lane by Taline Gabrielian (Murdoch Books $39.99) looks delicious and reminds me of these biscuits Wagon Wheels - but healthier of course |
