Their numbers are increasing and the colony is getting stronger. Both of them are wonderful for the digestion. -- SKIN JOINTS & -- BONES IMMUNE SYSTEM HEART & -- CIRCULATION -- (unlabled) -- This gorgeous dish has a lovely exotic vibe about it, is a doddle to make, plus it's light and bursting with nutrients. Does it get much better? -- (unlabled).

It's soup. It's green. That's for sure! This simple soup is not only an awesome colour, but also has a naturally sweet flavour and a wonderfully smooth texture. -- (unlabled) -- This is a wonderfully flavoursome soup: ripe, fresh and deep. You can even make a thicker version to use as a dip. -- (unlabled) -- This does take a bit of preparation, but it is totally worth it for the real depth of flavour. The roasting of the squash and the garlic brings out an intense, smoky sweetness that runs throughout the dish. -- (unlabled) -- This beautiful cold soup is a real summer classic. It has a lovely Mediterranean vibe and bursts with flavour, and since it isn't cooked, it's incredibly rich in nutrients. -- (unlabled) -- Light bites -- This is a wonderful salad that can make a really filling lunch, or a great side dish. -- This light little dish packs a mighty nutritional punch, and is very flavoursome. -- (unlabled) -- This is so creamy and satisfying, and surprisingly filling for such a small dish. -- (unlabled) -- These recipes are major crowd-pleasers. The combination of olives and artichokes is bold, brassy and will keep even the most hardened of healthy-food haters creeping back for more. Mint and feta is also a match made in heaven, and always conjures up images of the Mediterranean for me. I've used canned broad beans to save time, but by all means use fresh or frozen if you'd prefer. -- (unlabled) -- …pâté, that is! This is a lovely, earthy dish that's great on an oatcake, used as a sandwich filler, or even as a dip for raw celery. It contains some seriously powerful active chemicals, too. -- I love this combo - the bold flavours and varied textures make it an interesting and pleasing dish. The creamy dressing with its slight peppery tones marries perfectly with the watercress and pungent blue cheese.

This is my idea of a perfect feel-good snack. I am somewhat partial to proper pizza, and this treat makes the most of my favourite flavours. -- (unlabled) -- This is a wonderful, nutrient-dense salad, filled with flavour and very satisfying. -- (unlabled) -- Small plates, sides & -- sharing -- This dish is a total dynamo. I got a well-known BBC radio presenter addicted to it and she now eats it several times a week! When you taste it, I think you'll know why. -- Edamame beans make a wonderfully zingy dip that's great as an accompaniment to almost anything, such as vegetable crudités, pitta bread or corn chips - the works! My variation on red pepper houmous also goes with everything, but without roasting the peppers, thereby keeping the nutrients intact. -- (unlabled) -- This does exactly what it says on the tin: it's purple and powerful! The compounds that make plants purple have many effective properties. I use flaxseed oil for its high omega 3 content. It's easy to find in your local health food shop, and you could swap it for olive oil if you prefer. -- (unlabled) -- This dip has a wonderful, punchy, peppery flavour. It creates a powerful kick for the taste buds and ramps up digestion too! -- Goat's cheese is lighter and much better tolerated by most people than cow's milk cheese. Its lovely, tangy flavour gets my mouth watering every time. The added bonus is that the fats in the cheese help with absorption of some of the beneficial compounds in the onions. -- This is the most amazing combination of flavours, and is sure to become a dinner-party favourite. It really is a match made in heaven. -- (unlabled) -- This is the ultimate comfort food for me. It's incredibly flavoursome, creamy, and just really bakes my biscuit! It's a doddle to make and is very potent. It works as a simple meal or a side dish with other things, too. -- (unlabled).

I love the intense, earthy and aromatic flavours in this dish. The squash is ultra-rich in the antioxidant beta carotene, and the fats in the feta cheese actually drastically increase the body's absorption of the beta carotene. -- (unlabled) -- This is a fantastic fusion dish. It has the texture and appearance of a traditional Indian dhal, but the inclusion of lemon grass gives it a Thai-Malay twist, and the end result is a true Asian fusion. Warning - this dish is addictive! -- (unlabled) -- Handy, healthy snacks -- Date slices are sweet, gooey, incredibly addictive, and made my way are actually pretty good for you, providing a great general energy boost. -- Stress-free smoked mackerel pâté -- (unlabled) -- These have the most fantastic, moist texture. The combination of cinnamon with oats is always a winner with me. -- (unlabled) -- This is an awesome little snack to have on hand in the fridge when you need something to nibble on to give you a boost. Spirulina, a type of algae, is packed with protein, essential fatty acids and B vitamins. It's easy to find in health food shops. -- (unlabled) -- These gorgeous treats have a wonderful, cakey feel to them, and it's hard to believe that they're actually rather good for you. I've used coconut oil in this recipe -- it's a far healthier baking fat than butter, and is really easy to buy now. Most supermarkets or health food shops will have it. -- (unlabled) -- Fridge cakes are such a doddle to make. They are sweet, delicious and so dense in nutrients that one of these will keep you going for hours. It's always a pleasure when good, wholesome, healthy food tastes so naughty. Get stuck in! -- (unlabled) -- Quick main courses -- This is a delicious and incredibly filling dish, packed with effective phytochemical compounds. Simple, potent, tasty.

The thought of cooking a curry from scratch probably scares many of us, but it's really rather easy once you get into it and understand the flavour combinations of the different spices. That's got to be a winner! -- (unlabled) -- A fabulous infusion of flavours. Culinary herbs deliver masses of pharmacological activity, and this lovely dish is jam-packed with them. -- (unlabled) -- This is a lovely, light dish, full of flavour and nutritional value. -- I'm not overly keen on the term 'superfood' and the hype that goes with it, but there are a couple of ingredients in this dish that have certainly come under that label in the past. They're great because they are antioxidant and rich in vitamins, but they won't make you fly or walk on water any time soon. -- This is a lovely, filling dish that's packed with soluble fibre and the phytonutrients beta sitosterol, beta carotene and omega-3 fatty acids. -- (unlabled) -- I just love bean quesadillas. They remind me of my first job in a health food shop in the late 1990s. This shop made the best bean quesadillas ever, and I'd treat myself to one at the end of every shift. Gooey, rich, filling: they are comforting in a million ways. -- (unlabled) -- You may think raw kale will be tough, chewy and not exactly a treat. But this is a wonderful way to give raw kale the same texture as cooked, without damaging the nutrients. -- This is a lovely salad that makes a great light lunch or dinner. Don't be put off by quinoa - it's a very easy and versatile ingredient to use, and extremely good for you. -- There's something about white bean mash that I love - it's so creamy and flavoursome. This dish is seriously nutrient-packed, and couldn't be easier to make. -- (unlabled).

This is a healthy spin-off from fish and chips - well, it is to me at least! It contains some very nutritious ingredients, and it's fabulous for the health of many body systems.
