This quick little dish is both light as a feather and yet as filling as you need; perfect for lunch or dinner, and surprisingly rich in flavour. It is of course the sauce that brings it to life through the combination of flavours – sweet, tangy and salty, employing the diversity of ginger, chilli and orange juice. It’s bursting with fresh flavours and if you’re entertaining friends (whilst it is in fact super easy to make) these cute little bamboo steaming baskets always deliver a soft ‘ooooh’ and ‘ahhhh’ sound from the guests (they’re easily impressed!). Little do they know that a 12 year-old culinary novice could whip this entire dish together in less than 10 minutes! It’s a delicious quick and easy dish to add a bit of variety to a fish ‘staple’; just click MORE to get the ‘How To’…! (more…)

MY HEALTHY PERUVIAN CEVICHE DISH !!!
Food that’s bursting with exciting and unusual flavours, is fresh and healthy, and is served up against the dramatic backdrop of an imposing Mayfair residence? Step into my new love affair – Coya! Having recently digested ‘The Art of Peruvian Cuisine‘, a prestigious cook book gifted to me by a wonderful client, I felt inspired to investigate THE Peruvian joint in London, before attempting my own [easier] healthy recipe from Lima. This post features my Ceviche & Quinoa dish, along with my mini-review of Coya, below…

MY HEALTHY CHRISTMAS DINNER !!!
Christmas is infamous for overeating indulgent sugary, fattening foods. This post is my attempt at a healthier alternative – it’s a tour-de-force of the same foods but with a bit of a lighter twist. Perhaps you can just pick and choose a few ideas from it, and as you can see from the picture above, ‘healthier’ needn’t look any less inviting and ‘Christmassy’ 🙂 !

FESTIVE GRILLED SALMON, LENTILS, QUINOA AND AVOCADO !!!
OK, so it’s hardly festive-themed food, but in my calendar, we’re not quite there yet. In the meantime, I’m staying on the straight and narrow with this immensely nutritious ‘Grilled Salmon, Quinoa, Lentils Avocado and Almond’ dish. Weighing in at a reasonable 480 calories with just 20 minutes of low-intensity preparation time, it ticks so many healthy boxes and leaves me feeling totally contented… though obviously a Selfridges mini mince pie (my personal kryptonite) complements it beautifully for dessert 🙂 !

MY ‘ROCKET, PEAR, ROASTED WALNUT + GOATS CHEESE’ SALAD
Where possible, I’ll always try to buy organic produce from my local grocer. Organic foods are said to have more nutritional value, they certainly have fewer pesticides (chemicals including fungicides, herbicides & insecticides), they’re likely fresher (as they have a shorter shelf life), they can more often be tastier, have fewer/no preservatives and are more environmentally friendly. In the case of eggs, they even look better, with a deep, rich hue of sunset orange in their yolk, rather than nuclear yellow of battery hens.
In terms of meat organically reared animals aren’t dosed up with antibiotics, growth hormones, or fed other animal byproducts. Plus the animals roam for far more time outdoors.
Leading the healthy lifestyle that Fitness On Toast is all about, means committing to healthier choices and sticking to them (the tricky part!). So if you’re introducing more greens, healthy fats and proteins into your diet it only makes sense to make sure you’re buying the best quality products to optimise your nutrition intake, and more importantly preserve your body’s healthy state.
After visiting one of my absolute favourite places in Stockholm – Rosendahl’s Royal Gardens, where they grow all their own foods I felt inspired to make a own healthy autumn salad recipe. MORE about the beautiful Rosendahl and recipe below. Faya 🙂
FABULOUS FISH !!!
I normally like to post my own recipes, but this meal from a recent trip to France was in another league – I had to blog about it! As a pescatarian, I’ve had ALOT of fish in my time, but this was amongst the best I think I’ve ever had!

SIMPLE SALMON SALAD !!!
Here’s a quick, summery recipe that’s super-light, rich in taste, and requires practically no skill in the kitchen! I try to include one salad a day, which can get exceptionally tiresome, so it’s fun to mix up the ingredients a little, and to depart from the safety Niçoise. This yummy summer salad is refreshingly light, yet still filling, packed with nutritious contents, and is easy & quick to make! You’ll spend a maximum 20min to complete the whole thing including the c.15 minutes it takes to bake the salmon. Hope you like it! Click more to get the full nutritional benefits and ‘instructions’.
