Celebrity chef inspires a health kick this autumn

TV chef Jamie Oliver is back with his new cookbook Eat Yourself Healthy - and he’s shared one of his favourite autumn recipes with Be readers.

“So many of us have good intentions to eat healthier, but time and time again, convenience always rules and it’s never been easier to just order a takeaway,” said Jamie.

“And it’s totally understandable when so many of us have never been taught to cook at home or at school so at large, people have lost their confidence – and life is busy! But convenience only wins if you don’t know how to cook.”

The chef’s latest cookbook, Eat Yourself Healthy, and accompanying Channel 4 TV show by the same name, aims to prove that good nutrition can be simple and achievable, and that we can all be in better control of our own health, with some colourful go-to recipes and a bit of practice in the kitchen.

Here is one of his simple, nutritious recipes to get started.

Golden cheese and jammy berries Ingredients: (Serves 2). Total time: 12 minutes Two of your 7-a-day

• Olive oil
• 80g halloumi or paneer cheese
• 320g mixed berries
• 1tsp balsamic vinegar
• 2 sprigs of basil
• 2 slices of wholemeal sourdough bread
• 1tsp runny honey

Method: 1. Put a non-stick frying pan on a medium heat with one tablespoon of olive oil. Slice and add the cheese, cook until golden on both sides, then remove. 2. Hull and halve any strawberries, then put all the berries into the pan. Cook for three minutes, or until soft, gently stirring occasionally. Drizzle over the balsamic, pick in most of the basil leaves, and stir gently until just wilted. 3. Toast the bread and divide between your plates, then spoon the jammy fruit on top. Pick over the remaining basil leaves, add the golden cheese, drizzle over the honey, and tuck right in.
