New! Recipes from Essential that are healthy AND taste good, too!
The two savoury and three sweet dishes have been created by highly regarded nutritionist Christine Bailey who has used a number of nutritious, natural ingredients that are widely available at health food stores.
The recipes are:
· Muesli Slice
· Pesto Butterbean Burgers
· Chocolate Tahini Fudge
· Butternut Squash, Coconut & Chickpea Curry with Toasted Coconut Flakes

While the focus for the new recipes is the Healthy Eating Fortnight, the five dishes can be enjoyed throughout the autumn and winter with the Chocolate Tahini Fudge, Butternut Squash, Coconut & Chickpea Curry and Berry Coconut Cheesecake recipes particularly worthy of festive entertaining.
