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 moved 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.

Hello March! 🌿☀️

The sun is shining, the days are getting longer, and nature is giving us some seriously delicious, nutrient-packed produce to enjoy!

Eating seasonally isn’t just good for the planet it’s great for our gut, energy, and overall well-being too.

Here’s what’s fresh this month and how it can nourish us:

🥦 Veggies: Purple sprouting broccoli, kale, spring greens, wild garlic, radishes, spinach, leeks, and the last of the winter roots. Packed with antioxidants, fibre, and immune-boosting goodness to help us shake off winter.

🍏 Fruit: Rhubarb is in its prime! Its tartness is amazing in compotes, crumbles, or even blended into a gut-friendly smoothie. Rich in polyphenols to support digestion and reduce inflammation.

🐟 Fish & Seafood: Lemon sole, mussels, clams, and plaice are all at their best—full of omega-3s to support brain health, joints, and mood.

March is all about light, fresh flavours and supporting our bodies as we transition into spring.

SAVOURY BRUNCH RECIPE ⬇️

A Dutch baby is like a cross between a pancake and a Yorkshire pudding — light, puffed, and utterly moreish 🥞✨

I spotted this beauty in Ocado Life magazine and had to recreate it, adapting it slightly to up the servings, I only had dill in the fridge and to make it gluten-free.

This dill-flecked Dutch baby is perfect for a slow weekend breakfast, a relaxed brunch, or a light lunch with a crisp green salad.

Finished with wild smoked salmon, crème fraîche, capers, and a squeeze of lemon, simple, nourishing, and quietly elegant.

Would you serve this for brunch or lunch? 💚🍋

INGREDIENTS 4 eggs 140ml milk or dairy-free milk 80g GF plain flour ¼ tsp ground nutmeg ¼ tsp sea salt Zest of 1 lemon 3 tbsp chopped dill 1 tbsp olive oil Topping 200g Wild Smoked Salmon 4 tbsp Crème Fraiche 1 tbsp Baby capers Lemon wedges

𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗼𝗷𝗼: 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱

Juggling family meals, fussy eaters and busy lives can leave even the most capable cooks feeling stuck.

This mum of two came to see me feeling overwhelmed, low in energy and completely uninspired in the kitchen — despite wanting to nourish her family well.

Together, we created a bespoke, family-friendly plan that respected everyone’s preferences, supported health and immunity, and brought joy back to everyday cooking. Most importantly, she didn’t have to do it alone — ongoing support made all the difference.

𝘽𝙀𝙔𝙊𝙉𝘿 𝘾𝘼𝙉𝘾𝙀𝙍: 𝙏𝙃𝙍𝙄𝙑𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝘼𝙂𝘼𝙄𝙉

Bianca trusted her instinct that food would play a powerful role in her recovery journey.

After her breast cancer diagnosis, she wanted clarity, confidence and a simple way to nourish her body without confusion or overwhelm.

Together, we reset her nutrition, rebuilt habits, and created an enjoyable way of eating that supports her energy, mood and long-term health.

Read her full testimonial — and if you are ready to feel more empowered around food and your health, you can book an appointment via the link in my bio.

“I knew instinctively that what and how I am eating would play an important role in maintaining my health whilst living and coping with cancer. And I knew I needed some help, as although most of what I was eating was packaged as healthy, my eating habits were not great. In an ever-changing landscape of diet trends, I was confused and distrusting of the food industry. I’m incredibly fortunate to be working with Culinary Medicine practitioner Nicky Elliott, who has given me a simple and enjoyable program to help reset and educate my approach to eating. Thank you, Nicky, so much for your amazing life-changing everything and your support and great energy”.
