• Spiced apple crepes

  Wouldn’t you love to wake up to these on your rostered-day-off? I served these up for my husband last week when he was home on a week day. I tried to keep them as healthy as possible – using fruit as the filling, wholemeal flour in the crepes, and natural yoghurt instead of cream/ice-cream as…

• Healthy homemade muesli bars (or bites)

• Pistachio nut chicken korma

  This recipe is from a mouth-watering curry cook book called the Curry Bible by Mridula Baljekar. It was given to me by a great friend, who knows how much I love to cook. Anyone that loves curries and cooking – this book is a must! I made it the other night – with the weather…
