New! Recipes from Essential that are healthy AND taste good, too!

Ethical vegetarian health food brand Essential has commissioned five new recipes to mark its annual Healthy Eating Fortnight (October 17-30, 2011). 

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

·      Berry Coconut Cheesecake

The recipes aim to inspire people to try new healthy ingredients but also to experiment with familiar ingredients – such as pesto and tahini - in a new way. 

They are available to download now from www.essential-trading.coop and will be produced as collectable glossy A5 cards at selected health food shops from October.

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.
