World Health Day: Foods For Good Mental Health

In the 6 years I’ve been managing my depression I have found several foods that make a big difference to my health and I’m sharing them with you.

Leek, Pea and Edamame Risotto

This beautiful risotto has wonderful textures. The silky rice and leeks with the pop of the peas and edamame. Never scrimp on adding the butter and cheese at the end, it’s not a risotto without them.

This gluten-free Vegetarian Meatloaf is just incredibly delicious. It have wonderful flavours and textures and slices beautifully. Serve with veggies and gravy or pan fry the leftovers and serve with a salad.

Dragon Bowls

Dragon Bowls are a wonderful treasure trove of diverse ingredients. Whatever ingredients you choose to go into your bowl they all get served with the amazing sauce.

Sweet and Salty Tofu

I could eat this dish every day. It’s spicy, salty and sweet so hits all the right notes. It’s a brilliant mid-week meal that lifts your spirits.

Pork Chops, Wild Rice and Figs

Pork chops never looked so elegant in this easy, grown-up dish. The wild rice is full of fibre and really tasty. I love sweet and salty together so the figs and feta make me very happy.

Stir-fried Cabbage and Noodles

Chinese cabbage has two beautiful textures that are delicious in this easy stir-fry dish. The sauce is one of my favourites for stir-fries.

Tuna and Beans Potato Tray

Potato trays are an easy and nutritious weekday meal. I make a half tuna, half baked beans tray so that everyone gets their favourite toppings.
