To start
Healthy carrot soup
Kick things off with a vibrant bowl of carrot and ginger soup. Our low-fat recipe is light and seasonal, and it's finished with a swirl of soured cream.

For the main
Moroccan roast lamb with roasted roots & coriander
Swap traditional roast lamb with gravy for this fantastic Moroccan-style dish. It's a healthier main that delivers stacks of flavour and three of your five-a-day. Before cooking, the lamb and vegetables are coated with ras-el-hanout and nestled on a tray with plenty of garlic. The results are truly delicious.

On the side
Warm spring vegetables
Make the most of the seasonal vegetables spring has to offer with this gloriously green side dish. Olive oil, lemon juice and parsley add a herby freshness that works well with lamb.

Tzatziki sauce
Lamb and tzatziki is a classic combination, so why not serve it alongside your roast for a healthy alternative? The tang of yogurt and fresh mint cuts through the spicy richness of the meat.

For dessert
Apricot & raspberry tart
Delicious served hot or cold, this tart uses filo pastry to keep the calories down. We like it with apricot conserve, fresh apricots and raspberries but you could try it with other fruit combinations, too.
