Top 3 healthy meals from celebrity chefs

Healthy cooking can be a massive challenge, especially if you have a hectic schedule where you don’t have much time to spend on food. However, if you have a family with young children, you must promote positive, healthy eating habits at mealtime. Think you could do with a helping hand? Here are some great healthy recipes from the world’s most famous culinary artists.

Honey-glazed carrots and parsnips, Gordon Ramsay

Gordon Ramsay is well known for his temper, and of course, his food. If you’re looking for something healthy and delicious, then Ramsay’s glazed vegetable dish is a must-try. The veggies are roasted with star anise, thyme, cinnamon and honey, culminating in a sweet and sticky glaze that you’ll be adding to every Sunday roast.

Chopped salad, Bobby Flay

Bobby Flay’s chopped salad is technically called “Sophie’s Chopped Salad” – which is the name of Bobby’s daughter. It contains a range of nutritious, healthy greens, which are essential to every type of diet. It also includes tomatoes, chickpeas, red beans, olives, cheddar cheese and tortilla chips for garnish. A simple, easy-to-make salad that everyone will enjoy.

Broccoli sautéed in wine and garlic, Mario Batali

According to Batali, this is one of his favourite recipes. It’s simple, delicious and very healthy. All you need is 1 head of broccoli, 1 orange and 1 lemon (all fresh). Side ingredients include olive oil, garlic, white wine and hot red pepper flakes. Using a sauté pan, heat the oil with the garlic until it begins sizzling. Once it’s sizzling, add the broccoli to the pan and commence adding wine to the pan, as this will keep the garlic from browning. Cook until the broccoli stalks are tender (usually 8-10 minutes), before adding red pepper flakes and the lemon and orange zest.
