'In a world where we’re increasingly feeling guilty about eating meat, beans are the exciting choice,’ says Bold Bean Co founder and author of Full of Beans: Delicious Beany Recipes to Obsess Over Amelia Christie-Miller. ‘High in protein, fibre and a host of minerals and vitamins, they’re one of the most diverse food groups.’

If you’ve never thought about caramelising your carrots, do try this, because they go so well with creamy chickpeas baked with grapes. This is a sweet, warm salad for a cold evening with plenty of leftovers for lunch.
