Mango, scotch bonnet & lime grilled chicken

This recipe comes from my love of having sweet and spicy flavours in meats. It’s a very simple recipe that can be used and will work very well on fish also.

I’m a massive fan of mango and it’s one of the fruits I tend to consume on a daily basis. In fact mango is actually known as king of the fruits in some countries and I personally couldn’t agree more. Not only does it taste great (when ripe) but studies have linked mango and its nutrients to health benefits

Plantain waffles & cajun king prawns

This is a simple and relatively quick recipe that can be made in no more than 30 minutes. The pancakes are dairy free, refined sugar free and high in protein, made with wholemeal spelt flour. I prefer to use wholemeal spelt flour because it is higher in fibre. Additionally, spelt contains small amounts of calcium, selenium and vitamins B1, B6 and E. Like most whole grains, it is also high in carbohydrates.
