    Melissa Hemsley Talks Food, Pregnancy And ADHD

    Melissa Hemsley Talks Food, Pregnancy And ADHD

    I just had the most amazing hour chatting with Melissa Hemsley. We talked about everything from her IVF journey and, in particular, the highs and lows that come with IVF to her favourite recipes and how she loves using up everything in the fridge - nothing goes to waste! We have renamed leftovers "rollovers" because it sounds nicer, and how could one say no to a freestyle family fritter. Melissa talked about the beginning of her career and what got her into cooking, and also her love for charity work. I can’t wait to get her back on the show! What a lovely way to start a Wednesday morning.

    Noodle Recipe: https://www.instagram.com/p/CrKxnrUolTH/?igshid=ZjE2NGZiNDQ=
    Cauli or broccoli cashew noodles This is quick & packed with veg (cavolo nero/cauliflower/kale) & loads of ginger & garlic to liven up your week   I think of this as a fridge raid noodle dish as whether it’s cauli, broccoli, cabbage or sprouts, it’s all delicious
    Extra delicious with kimchi or sauerkraut plus pop a fried egg on top too if you like or some golden mushrooms too.
    Feeds 4 in 30 mins Ingredients: 1 medium cauliflower w leaves 800g 150g cavolo nero or kale 4 portions noodles, I like buckwheat For the dressing:
    Juice of 2 juicy limes or 1 big lemon 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 3 tbsp tamari 1.5 inches fresh ginger, finely grated Chilli flakes, to taste 2 garlic cloves, finely grated 2 tsp maple syrup or honey 2 tsp toasted sesame oil Sea salt & pepper to taste Serve with: Big handful cashews, toasted and roughly chopped kimchi/fried eggs/both Method: 1. Make the dressing by mixing all of the ingredients together in a small bowl or jar or blitz in a food processor if you like your sauces smoother
    2. Cook your fave noodles to the packet instructions then drain & toss with a little oil to stop them sticking.
    3. Meanwhile toast your cashews in a large frying pan & set aside. Then in same pan, heat 1 tbsp coconut oil or ghee & fry the chopped cauliflower florets plus the finely chopped leaves on a medium heat for about 5 minutes, stir every minute or so until just tender & going golden at the edges. Add some sea salt and a little splash of waterKitchen faves for this: @riverford for veg and eggs @clearspring for tamari and sesame oil @kingsobanoodleculture for noodles @maldonsalt always
