Rich Tomato Italian Meatballs with Linguine - If I was to name one recipe that is ideal food therapy, it's this. There is something extremely relaxing about rolling the meat into little balls and plopping them into a boiling, rich, tomato sauce. I rely solely on the heat of the sauce to cook and infuse the balls with flavour and I love to serve the dish on a big platter with serving spoons, so that people can dig in at the table.

Soy and Ginger Sea Bass and Asian Green Parcels - These little parcels certainly know how to make an entrance. When you serve them, make sure you get your guests to open the parcels themselves, to reveal the steaming mackerel inside. You can use this method with any fish; it’s nice served with a little rice.

Carrot and Cardamom Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting - Carrot and cardamom are a wonderful combination of flavours. The cake itself is moist enough but for that extra special touch you can add the delicious cinnamon cream cheese frosting. If you want to go all out, you can make mini carrots out of marzipan with a little orange food colouring and angelica root for the stalks.

Serves: 8

Healthy Singapore Noodles - Singapore noodles are a standard Chinese restaurant dish, but making them at home is so easy. It also means you can monitor what's going into them, adding whatever healthy vegetables you feel like.

Easy Apple Slices - I am a big fan of simple desserts that don't take too long to prepare but still look homemade and impressive. These apple slices are beautiful served with a hearty dollop of whipped cream.
