Enjoy a delicious quinoa spring salad with lentil and asparagus. It's bursting with flavour thanks to pine nuts, walnut oil and raspberry vinegar. Good-quality vinegar and walnut oil make all the difference in this dressing. If you don't have black quinoa, regular white one will work just great.

1. Combine 300 ml water and rinsed quinoa in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Transfer to a large bowl. Set aside to cool.
2. In another saucepan, fill in 450 ml water and bring to the boil. Add lentils, asparagus and return to the boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes until lentils are slightly softened and asparagus tender. Be careful not to cook too long, as you the lentils to be al dente and asparagus bright green. Drain and rinse in cold water.
3. Combine all the ingredients for the dressing, stirring with a whisk until well-blended.
4. Place cooked quinoa, lentils, asparagus, fennel fronds and half of the roasted pine nuts in a bowl. Add in vinaigrette and toss until well combined. Transfer to a large serving plate and sprinkle the rest of pine nuts over.

Fiber-rich complex carbohydrates in organic oats are combined with protein-rich goat milk protein powder, almond flour and healthy fat from coconut oil. This is a healthy and delicious treat that promotes muscle growth and aids in recovery after a long hard workout. I have used stevia syrup here, but maple syrup or honey will work just great. If you are not fancy for diary-based protein, hemp protein and pumpkin seed protein are great alternatives.

1. To toast oats, cook in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until they are golden brown. Set aside to cool, then grind into flour.
2. Grease and line a 22cmx14cm rectangular pan with a plastic wrap.
3. Combine toasted oat flour, goat whey powder, almond flour and chia in a bowl. Set aside. In a saucepan, add in coconut oil, coconut milk and stevia syrup. Heat gently over low heat, stirring occasionally, until coconut oil melted and the mixture well combined.
4. Pour into the dry ingredients and thoroughly mix until everything is well combined. Press the mixture into the prepared pan and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight until firm. Slice and enjoy.

3. Scrape mixture into prepared baking dish and press firmly into an even layer. Bake until golden brown around the edges, 20–25 minutes.

This is a quick and easy slow cooker recipe. Sriracha and honey come together perfectly as the hot and sweet sauce. If you like the meatballs more sweet than spicy, then simply add more honey. The meatballs stay really moist and tender and the sauce soaks up a lot of the meaty flavour with that long and slow cooking process.

1. Combine sriracha, honey, minced garlic and lime juice in a slow cooker on high heat.
2. In a large bowl add all the meatball ingredients and mix until well combined. Shape the mixture into meatballs about the size of pingpong balls.
3. Stir sriracha sauce in the slow cooker until combined. Taste and add additional honey or sriracha as necessary to suit your heat preference. Add in sliced onions, then the meatballs. Reduce heat to medium and cook, covered, for 4-5 hours.

This is a simple sandwich loaf made with my favourite einkorn and spelt, risen with less yeast and wonderful flavour which comes from the long, slow, overnight fermentation in the fridge.

Overnight Spelt Einkorn Bread

1. Place the yeast, maple syrup and warm water in a bowl. Whisk with a fork to dissolve yeast. Stand in a warm place for 10 minutes or until frothy.
2. Place spelt bread flour, and einkorn flour into a large bowl. Stir in sea salt, yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix to form a soft dough, about 10 minutes. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in a large, lightly greased bowl. Cover and leave in a cool place to rest for 2 hours.
3. Lightly grease a standard loaf pan. Knock back the dough and knead until smooth. Shape into a log. Place in the prepared pan. Cover with lightly greased plastic wrap and leave overnight (8-10 hours) to rise in the fridge.
4. Take it out of the fridge next morning and put it somewhere warm to carry on rising: it could take from 1 to 3 hours. Preheat oven to 200C/400F fan-forced.
5. Lightly dust the risen dough with oat flour. Bake in the hot oven for 10 minutes, then turn down the temperature to 180C/200C fan-forced, and bake for a further 25 minutes or until golden and hollow-sounding when tapped. Turn onto a wire rack to cool.
