Picture this, you've been eating healthy all week; but it's been a really long week, and your friends have invited you out for a Friday night curry. You really fancy it, but you don't want to sabotage all the good work you've done this week. What do you do? Never fear, Wendy's here. I've gone through the menu, and here is my list of what to avoid, and what would be your healthiest options. Take a read before you go out so that you are armed and ready to make your choices - and most...
Summer Greens, Beans and Lentil Curry
This tasty yet light curry is perfect in the summer, it’s pretty quick to cook and you can keep it for a few days in the fridge. I sent a portion to a friend who was recuperating in hospital, I packed some curry along with basmati rice and popped in into a tiffin box to be delivered to her nice a warm. It’s a super healthy dish, full of iron, and so perfect for anyone feeling a bit under the weather. Ingredients – serves 2-3 • Large onion finely chopped • 2 tblsp vegetable oil • 2 garlic...
Pea and Baby Aubergine Curry
On a whim I bought some baby aubergines from the asian supermarket, they sat in the fridge for a few days until I had some peas in my weekly veg box and I thought I would pay homage to the Asian store and created this curry. It’s lovely and light and perfect for the summer, and of course you can use normal aubergines and frozen peas, it will taste just as good! Ingredients – serves 2 -3 • 1 small onion finely diced • 2 large tomatoes chopped • 250g Baby Aubergines Chopped • 100g prodded fresh...

Vegan Curry Soup
So I asked my husband a couple of weeks ago if he wanted vegan curry soup for lunch and he turned his nose up and said he'd grab a sandwich at work instead. The soup went into the freezer and when offered a vegetarian curry soup a few weeks later he jumped at it. He's not alone in his prejudice, take me back less than a year and I would have probably done the same, but after actually cooking a lot of vegan recipes (and not telling him when he eats them!!) I now know that they can be really...
Vegan Tamarind Curry
I love a vegetarian curry, and this one is no exception, it’s actually a vegan curry so it really is suitable for everyone. Tamarind is slightly sour, if you haven’t tried it before give it a go, it adds a great depth of flavour. This makes 6 good size portions, and as with most of my recipes is great for leftovers, or you can even use it as a base for my Vegan Curry Soup. I made this version with my summer veg box, I do like a curry even in summer if its a colder evening and you can change...
