I make vegetable soup every week for work lunches plus one or two other meals. I tend to eat out three nights a week.

caption97 WHAT’S ALWAYS IN YOUR SHOPPING TROLLEY? Lots of fruit and vegetables. Lentils and pulses, even the tinned ones – although watch out for the salt content. They’re great for mixing into casseroles and salads. WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE FOOD INDULGENCE? I love making cakes and desserts – they’re some of life’s real pleasures. Homemade banana bread or crème brûlée is welcome in my house. The trick? Don’t have them often and watch your portion size. WHAT’S A HEALTHY DINNER YOU COOK FOR YOUR FAMILY EVERY WEEK? Spaghetti bolognaise is a family favourite. I use the leanest mince I can get and load it up with tinned tomatoes, onion, garlic, carrots a “It frustrates me that families don’t question what’s nd red kidney beans. in their food.
