Colourful Plant-Based Meals for the Whole Family
Want Your Family to Eat More Plant-Based Meals?
Getting the whole family to enjoy more plant-based meals can feel like a challenge, but with the right approach, it becomes an exciting (and delicious!) journey. That’s exactly why I wrote two cookbooks—to inspire families to embrace more colourful, plant-packed dishes in a way that’s easy, fun, and full of flavour.
We eat with our eyes first, and the natural rainbow of fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes makes every meal visually stunning. But these vibrant colours aren’t just beautiful—they’re a sign of the incredible nutrients inside. From heart-loving reds to eye-supporting oranges and yellows, bone-strengthening greens to brain-boosting purples and blues, each colour on the plate offers unique health benefits.
My books explore the power of plant-based eating and are filled with recipes designed to be simple, satisfying, and packed with goodness. They focus on making plant-based meals accessible for families—whether you’re looking for easy weeknight dinners, exciting lunchbox ideas, or fun ways to get kids involved in the kitchen.
On my website, you’ll find a treasure trove of colourful plant-based recipes inspired by global flavours. From hearty stews and fragrant curries to fresh salads, nourishing pastas, and indulgent treats, there’s something for everyone.
To help you get started, I’ve rounded up some of my favourite recipes below, grouped by their vibrant colours and the health benefits they bring.
I hope you love them! And if you’re looking for even more inspiration, be sure to check out my books and follow me on Instagram for daily plant-based meal ideas.
