Celebrations
Add some delicious healthy options to your celebrations.
Perfect to serve with a selection of fresh vegetables. Serve with sliced carrots, courgettes, brocolli or mushrooms raw or quickly plunged into boiling water.
This is a yummy easy dip family and friends will love! It's also wonderful over any cooked vegetables.
Always popular and so easy! Serve as a dip with fresh crusty bread and vegetable sticks. Or team up with our chilli bean wraps or nachos.
Vegetables, either in dips or with dips, are simple to prepare and delicious to eat. Everyone loves to nibble before a meal or with drinks at barbecues or parties.
A birthday party favourite that is a great alternative to greasy sausage rolls.
Serve up this delicious and healthier alternative to traditional sausage rolls at your next celebration. It is worth keeping a spray can of oil in the cupboard as an easy way to cut down on the amount of oil you use when making filo or cooking food in a non-stick pan.
Older children enjoy making these fruit kebabs. Use any combination of your favourite fresh and tinned fruit - look out for what's on special at the market or supermarket.
A Pacific favourite. Great for those summer celebrations.
