5:2 Diet Recipe for Three Ingredient Banana Pancakes: Hurrah! I've actually hit my target weight (60kg) through the 5:2 diet and am now theoretically maintaining by doing a mixture of one fast day a week and something called 16:8 where I eat within an eight-hour window. But, it's Christmas and I'm fully anticipating gaining a kilo or two over the festive season. You only have to look at the lovely goodies I've already got to realise this isn't going to be a slimline holiday. So I'm…

This chicken is so flavorful and will make your house smell oh-so-good!

A family favourite, this Sausage Plait with Sage and Onion is not only great picnic food but makes a tasty family supper dish, as well as being perfect for high tea. Use high quality (high meat content) sausages, and if fresh sage is not available, use 1 teaspoon of dried sage in its place. Can be frozen at the pre-bakes stage or after being cooked.

This family favourite is made extra special thanks to fresh thyme, fragrant rosemary and sweet sundried tomato paste

Authentic chicken teriyaki (鳥照り焼き) is shiny, flavorful and easy to make from just a handful of ingredients. Skip the bottled sauce with my version of this Japanese classic.

Thai Fishcakes 5:2 Diet Recipe For Fast Days: Fish is a great base for diet recipes. Nevertheless it's been a while since I have posted a fish recipe whether for the 5:2 diet or not. I suspect that's partly because I wrote a lot of 5:2 diet recipes using fish last year and ran out of steam a little and partly because over Christmas I've been busy using up leftovers. I really wanted to try something spicy and interesting on my last 5:2 fast day - and decided to try making a version of Thai…

Slimming World's mixed paella is really simple to make and bursting with flavour thanks to punchy paprika, garlic and lemon. It's the guilt-free version

Tomato Soup Recipe = Summer Flavours - A Fresh Soup Recipe with Roasted Garlic and Basil - 5:2 Diet Recipes: Tomato Soup with Roasted Garlic and Fresh Basil isn't a recipe I make through the year. To make a fresh tomato soup involves a lot of almost over-ripe tomatoes and plenty of fresh basil. And in the UK both fresh ripe tomatoes and good quality basil can be in really short supply! Of course I do make a spicy tomato soup in winter with canned tomatoes, chilli or paprika and lentils for…

This cream of mushroom soup recipe is easy to make and home, and a good stand in for recipes that call for canned creamy mushroom soup.

Clams with Pasta, Chilli and Coriander - 5:2 fast diet recipes to share with friends: Sometimes I look at the food I am eating on the 5:2 fast diet and wonder how those with families/partners cope. I LOVE soups and fish, I've always eaten a lot of vegetables and I am quite adventurous with what I will try. But, this fast diet is quite severe - 500 calories during the day, which I spread across two meals, skipping breakfast. I also cope by eating a lot of soup. If you avoid adding starchy…
