I was happy to lend some tips to Good Housekeeping on how to pimp up your soup to make lunchtime more interesting in a flash. I am a big fan of sprinkling, topping and the brandishing of condiments over many basic dishes to both elevate them and add another healthy layer.
Just a handful of freshly chopped coriander and a squeeze of lime can transform a curry or Mexican wrap. It’s amazing how a dash of chilli oil, some toasted seeds or a drizzle of yoghurt make a dish so much more than the sum of its parts.
And if you are keen to get more variety in your diet it’s an easy way of slipping in foods you tend not to eat into your diet. From flaked almonds on your salad to some roasted chickpeas on your soup. Garnishes can be very good for your health!
