Grilled Salmon with Fennel and Cannellini Mash

This impressive salmon dish with a fennel and white bean mash ticks all the boxes. Quick and easy, affordable, nutritious and suitable to most diets, but most of all, delicious, and just a bit different.

Tricolore Pistou Soup

This colourful, Italian-inspired white bean soup would make an impressive entrée or main.

 I originally based this recipe on the idea of using the Xmas colour trio - red, white and green. Well, it didn't turn out that way. But when all is said and done, I dont care that its a bit more yellow than white and a bit more pink than red. It's still beautiful. The flavour packs a real punch, and this soup is incredibly easy to make.

Black Bean and Sweet Potato Enchiladas

This black bean and sweet potato enchilada recipe is a definite meat-free favourite with everyone I know. You really won't miss the meat, which is good as I've been hearing a few scary statistics lately on the present and future status of meat. Combined with my love for beautiful data visualisation and journalist's increasing reliance on data mining for a unique scoop, I've decided to introduce my first infographic onto the scene, on the topic of...meat! Keep an eye out for my soon-to-come feature article, where I'll be discussing the future of the meat industry, and the implications for our health, environment, and economy.

Meanwhile, these baked enchiladas will turn even the most hardcore meat-eaters. Carnivore to the core? We'll see about that.
