Packed with goodness (garlic, ginger, spinach, onions, zucchini), this shrimp ankake donburi gets its gravy-like texture from the help of a little potato starch mixed with water. It's a very easy recipe that's filling (the shrimps and potatoes make it hearty), a little sweet and with plenty of umami. Substitute white rice for brown for added nutritiousness.
This is a classic Spanish dish that's hearty but feels light at the same time. The flavors are mild (extra virgin olive oil, fresh thyme, sweet tomatoes and a pinch of salt) and can be served with a simple baguette or as a side. It's the meatless version of Fabada a La Asturiana. GET THE RECIPE

It's the perfect combination of crunchy pickles, creamy egg, garlicky spinach and earthy mushrooms. It's simply delicious. GET THE RECIPE
This baked apple recipe only uses one tablespoon of butter and yet the flavors will remind you of a classic apple pie - minus the crust. What's also great about this dessert is that the natural tartness of the apples really comes through to make this dish not too sweet, but just right. GET THE RECIPE
