The Conscientious Cook Nutrient Rich Food
Recipe creation and brand collaboration. Plant based + Free From Diary & Gluten I hope you enjoy them!

Research shows that the body isn’t able to process refined sugars, and actually uses up vital vitamins and minerals when trying to do so. Continuous consumption of sugar can cause us to age faster and is associated with a range of health issues. Over the last two decades, our eating habits and awareness of the benefits and health potential of certain food types has changed enormously. We have move

d towards foods with a purpose, foods that have positive benefits for the body in addition to giving us energy. I have a sweet tooth and I created The Conscientious Cook in response to my own personal quest for nutrient-rich yet appetising sweet treats. It all began in my kitchen where I started experimenting with alternative ways to sweeten foods. Rice malt syrup, raw honey, date syrup and maple syrup quickly became my star ingredients, giving the sweetness I wanted, while delivering valuable nutrients to the body. I have used natural ingredients to create a range of cakes, snacks and treats - extensively taste-tested on my friends and family - which are both delicious and virtuous. Each guilt-free recipe uses the best ingredients in their most natural state. We avoid all refined ingredients, especially sugar, replacing them with seasonal, organic food, ancient grains, raw and super foods that all have amazing and beneficial effects on the mind and body. My chosen selection, some of which are inspired by classic recipes and some of which are my favourites all have delicious healthy ingredients that are valuable to your body. They have a positive nutritional benefit, not empty-calorie quick fixes that actually deplete your energy resources and can be detrimental to overall health. Perfect for dinner parties, lunch boxes, tea-time snacks and sugar high-free children’s birthdays, most freeze well, many are portable for a nutritious snack on the go and all are scrumptious and good for you.

What’s In Season in the UK During May 🌿

May bursts onto the plate with vibrant colours, tender textures, and fresh spring flavours — this is the month to really eat green and celebrate seasonal eating.

Here’s what’s in season and why your body will love it:

🌱 Leafy & Light
Spinach, Rocket, Watercress & Sorrel
Loaded with iron, folate, vitamin C and antioxidants to support energy, skin health and immunity.
Spring Greens, Lettuce & Sweetheart

Cabbage
Gentle on digestion and rich in fibre and phytonutrients — perfect for lighter spring meals.

🌸 Floral & Fragrant
Elderflowers
Beautiful in cordials and desserts, with natural anti-inflammatory and antiviral compounds.

🥒 Crunch & Colour
Radishes & Spring Onions
Crisp, peppery and hydrating, packed with vitamin C and sulphur compounds that support natural detoxification.

Chicory
A slightly bitter leaf that supports digestion and liver health thanks to its natural prebiotic fibres.

🥬 Spring Veg Heroes
Artichokes
A true gut-loving vegetable, rich in inulin — a prebiotic fibre that nourishes beneficial gut bacteria and supports digestion.

Asparagus
One of May’s stars. Naturally rich in folate, fibre and glutathione, helping support liver health and hormone balance.

Beetroot
Supports blood flow, stamina and circulation thanks to its naturally occurring nitrates.

Peas
A spring classic, rich in plant protein, B vitamins and mood-supporting folate.

Broad Beans
Packed with fibre, magnesium and plant protein to support energy and heart health.

🥔 Little Gems
Jersey Royal Potatoes
My favourite potatoes — sweet, tender and rich in resistant starch to support gut health. Simply steamed or boiled with olive oil, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper is hard to beat.

🌊 From the Sea
Samphire
Salty, crunchy and naturally rich in iodine, helping support healthy thyroid function.

Whether you’re tossing them into salads, roasting with herbs, or blending into fresh dips, May’s produce is full of nourishment and flavour.

No gatekeeping here. 🤫 This isn’t just a salad; it’s a functional mood-booster. Between the Omega-3s from the anchovies (hello, brain health!) and the anti-inflammatory garlic and greens, this is exactly how we’re fuelling our weekends.

The bitterness of the radicchio cuts perfectly through that creamy, salty dressing. It’s sophisticated, it’s sharp, and it’s basically a spa day in a bowl.”

⭐️ The Liquid Gold Dressing:

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup olive oil
8 cloves of garlic, crushed
1/2 cup of Parmesan, grated
100g jar of anchovies - drained
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. salt
2 tsps. dried oregano
1 tsp. red pepper flakes

🥗 The Bitter Blend:

Radicchio & Chicory Rosso di Treviso
Frisee / Endive
Rocket & Watercress
Quick Method 🌪️

Toss all dressing ingredients into a blender.

Blend until silky smooth (pro tip: add a splash of warm water if you want it pourable).

Massage into those gorgeous leaves and enjoy!
