2. Crack in the eggs, spaced apart, put a lid on the pan and cook for 1–2 minutes until the yolks are runny – or cook for a little longer if you prefer your eggs well done.
I love mixing up my morning routine every now and then, and this dish helps me do just that. I prefer to fry my eggs in coconut oil; not only does it have a higher smoking point than regular oils but it also doesn’t denature with heat. It makes the eggs super crispy, too!
Madeleine Shaw
3. Slice the avocado and toss with the lemon juice. Arrange the rocket, tomatoes and avocado on a plate and top with the fried eggs. 4. Scatter over the chopped chives and drizzle over the pesto to finish.

Cut cabbage into 8 wedges, remove the core, and thinly slice crosswise. 2. Put the cabbage in a large mixing bowl and add the salt.

3. Pack the cabbage into the jars, leaving some room at the top and pour in any liquid. Cut the reserved leaf into circles the width of the jars and put over the surface to keep the cabbage submerged. Do not put the lid on because of the pressure from the fermentation. 4. Press the cabbage down every day. If after 24 hours the liquid has not risen above the level of the cabbage, dissolve 1 tsp fine sea salt in 8fl oz of water and add enough to cover. 5. The sauerkraut will be ready to eat after about a week, but will continue to ferment and develop for up to 2 weeks. If mold develops, skim it off and ensure the cabbage is submerged. Keep tasting it and when you like the taste, put the lid on and refrigerate.

Wash and peel and de-stem the mushrooms and place on a roasting tray with some olive oil and put in the oven
to roast for 25 minutes. 4. Mash the red kidney beans in a big mixing bowl. Add the lentils and sweet potato and mash again until it’s all combined but still a little chunky! Season well. Now stir in the gluten free oats well until you have a mixture you can shape in your hands - if you’ve over mashed you may need to add more than stated in the recipe. 5. Shape 6 patties out from the mixture. In a frying pan add a little olive or coconut oil and cook three at a time for 3 minutes on each side - repeat with the rest.

Before you serve add a dollop of hummus on 6 of the portobello mushrooms (on the inside) and put back in the oven for 3 minutes to melt.

You’ll need: 1 cup of linseeds, 2/3 cup of sunflower seeds, 1/3 cup of almonds 1. In small batches blend the ingredients together using a home blender or coffee/spice grinder (a coffee/spice grinder is the best as you want the linseed as finely ground as possible).

For white chocolate raspberry you’ll need: 2 cups raw cashews, 50g cacao butter, ½ cup cashew butter, 3 tbsp coconut nectar, 2 tbsp coconut cream (solids only), 2 tbsp frozen raspberries, gently crushed For chocolate crunch you’ll need: 50g cacao butter, 35g cacao powder, 20g raw honey or coconut nectar, 1–2 tbsp cacao nibs, 1/8 tsp sea salt
1. Add the cashews to a food processor fitted with S blade. Process the nuts until the butter is smooth – it should take around 15 minutes. At about 2 minutes, the oils will start being released and the mixture will start to “jump”. Keep blending. At around the 5 min mark you will need to start stopping every 30 seconds or so to scrape the sides and bottom. It will come together at around 10 minutes, but keep blending to get silky smooth cashew butter. 2. Melt the cacao butter in a sauce pan over low heat – be careful not to let it start to bubble. 3. In a separate bowl, combine the cashew butter with the coconut cream and coconut syrup and stir until smooth. Slowly pour in the melted cacao, stirring continuously. 4. Scatter the crushed frozen raspberries over the small egg mounds and gently pour the white chocolate mix over the top until the moulds are full. Reserve a small amount to use to stick the halves together once set.
5. Allow to set in the freezer for at least 20 minutes. 6. Now create the chocolate crunch halves. Add all ingredients except the cacao nibs into a small sauce pan over the lowest possible heat. Stir with a metal spoon until all melted together and smooth. 7. Once completely set, remove from the freezer and heat the leftover chocolate again over low heat. Using a brush, paint a small amount of chocolate over the flat side of an egg half, and then stick to the flat side of another egg half. Continue this process until all egg halves are combined and you have a set of whole eggs. Place back in the freezer to set, and then store in a sealed container in the fridge.
