Look no further than this umami-rich, plant-packed vegetable ragu full of diverse fibre and other nutrients to nourish you and your gut. Inspired by Yotam Ottolenghi's ultimate tray-bake ragu, this recipe contains even more plants. Hodmedod’s Broth Mix is the perfect base, containing no fewer than 7 different pulses and grains, and adding beautiful texture. The recipe packs in 12 different plants, not counting the herbs or spices, which add another half dozen. Serve with a side salad and you'll be well over 20 plants in a single meal.

These gingerbread cookies are inspired by a Swedish recipe Danka has been making for years that involves rolling the dough into a log, chilling it and simply slicing it for a quick and low mess option for homemade ginger snaps. Danka started making them with our four grain muesli base for an increased plant diversity and higher fibre content, both of which are great for gut health.

This salad is great for a lighter addition to a Christmas smorgasbord, or as a way to use up leftover turkey (and sprouts) in the days after Christmas. Just shred the turkey and add into the salad at assembly stage. Also delicious in the lead up to Christmas with a bit of salmon, or marinated tofu.

A traditional stew can really hit the spot on a cold winter's day. The combination of pearled spelt and lentils makes for a comforting and satiating meal, with the complex salty miso and bright lemon juice balancing this dish beautifully.
