I thought it would be fun to create a rainbow recipe to celebrate the launch of my latest cookbook, Rainbow Bowls.
I mean, let’s face it — multicoloured cute little dough balls are always going to be good? And they are very easy to make as the dough is just made with yogurt, olive oil, salt, and flour rather than yeasted.
Flavoured with harissa (yum) for a red tone, pesto for green, turmeric for yellow and beetroot for pink/purple.
And you need some lovely creamy hummus with juicy popping roast tomatoes in the middle so that you can dunk the pretty dough balls.
Have you seen my cookbook; Rainbow Bowls?
In Rainbow Bowls, I bring you vibrantly healthy and delicious ‘bowl’ meals, all hero-ing how amazing vegetables and fruit can be and, of course, packed full of enticing flavours, textures, and colours. So If you need inspiration for easy and accessible ways to eat more veg, this is the book for you.
You may have heard the term ‘eating the rainbow’, but what’s the benefit?
Eating a broad spectrum of colourful fruit and vegetables means you get a variety of vitamins and nutrients — which helps maintain a healthy diet.
That’s why I love veg, AND they taste fantastic.
In Rainbow Bowls, you’ll find lots of sustaining bowls of comfort food like curries, soups, and stews — meals which make you feel good.
You’ll also find quite a few spices — don’t be scared, as that’s what really makes vegetable based dishes come alive with flavour.
I also love to use veg or pulses as a base instead of the more traditional rice/pasta, etc. Not only does this add tons of flavour, it’s also way more nutritious as it’s adding more plant-based protein and/or vitamins and minerals and fibre. Plus, it tastes incredible.
I hope you love my new book, you can buy it on Amazon today!
