Healthy Meals

Teriyaki Salmon with noodles

This teriyaki salmon is the ultimate Japanese-inspired midweek meal

Tofu Curry

“This mellow classic is made meat-free here, but it loses no richness of flavour,”

Turkey stir-fry

Turkey stir-fry recipe is a simple and delicious option. Turkey mince is a great lean alternative to beef and pork mince while still being full of juicy flavour. 

Grilled Sweet Potato tacos

Sweet potato is deliciously meaty and sweet if you give it a good grilling. You’ll know it’s ready to flip when it starts to bead and sweat on top – just like steak.

Happy Customers

I loved the environment the second I walked in the door. We enjoyed making the tofu curry.

The class was beneficial and helped me to get a good understanding on how to budget money whilst buying healthy food.

Was welcomed by the staff and made me feel like i was at home. I learnt a lot from the class, also met new people who are now good friends with me and we go shopping together.
