Mushrooms are so versatile, add such fab flavours to dishes and just 80g of mushrooms serve as one of your 5-a-day 🥳✨They’re so low in fat/calories and by replacing half the meat in a recipe with mushrooms it not only lowers fat intake, but also adds that extra depth of flavour you can’t get from meat.

Rich and peanutty in flavour, this satay marinade is a perfect match for succulent chicken breast pieces. Air-frying is a great way to not only save energy when cooking but it’s more of a healthier option as the amount of oil you use is substantially less compared to traditional styles of frying, in particular deep frying.
