This week’s menu is for sharing; the recipes have fresh flavours and are grain-free (bar the muffins). There is a fabulous chocolate dessert you can make in 3 ways to suit all the diet styles and warming spiced carrot gluten-free muffins that are pantry adaptable to help you cook with ease to accommodate your guests. I hope you have a fun, delicious and peaceful weekend. *wishing you vibrant health 🥬** Chef Karina Hines.* OUR FOOD AS MEDICINE RECIPES - ## [![Turkish Brunch ](https://blog.botanicalkitchen.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Turkish%20Brunch%20.jpg?width=810&height=1080&name=Turkish%20Brunch%20.jpg) Turkish Brunch](https://www.botanicalkitchen.com/recipes/turkish-brunch/) - ## [![Apple-Carrot-Pumpkin-Seed-Muffins-300x219](https://blog.botanicalkitchen.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Apple-Carrot-Pumpkin-Seed-Muffins-300x219.jpg?width=300&height=219&name=Apple-Carrot-Pumpkin-Seed-Muffins-300x219.jpg) Spiced Apple & Carrot Oat Muffins](https://www.botanicalkitchen.com/recipes/spiced-apple-carrot-oat-muffins/) - ## [![Basil Dip & Crudite](https://blog.botanicalkitchen.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Basil%20Dip%20%26%20Crudite.jpg?width=1080&height=720&name=Basil%20Dip%20%26%20Crudite.jpg) Basil Dip w/ Crudite](https://www.botanicalkitchen.com/recipes/basil-dip-with-crudite/) - ## [![Lamb chops & pesto potatoes](https://blog.botanicalkitchen.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Lamb%20chops%20%26%20pesto%20potatoes.jpg?width=701&height=467&name=Lamb%20chops%20%26%20pesto%20potatoes.jpg) Grilled Lamb w/ Pesto Potatoes](https://www.botanicalkitchen.com/recipes/grilled-lamb-chops-with-pesto-potatoes/) - ## [![Pansy & Mizuna Salad](https://blog.botanicalkitchen.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Pansy%20%26%20Mizuna%20Salad.jpg?width=1080&height=810&name=Pansy%20%26%20Mizuna%20Salad.jpg) Pansy Salad](https://www.botanicalkitchen.com/recipes/pansy-salad/) - ## [![Chocolate Yoghurt Pots-1](https://blog.botanicalkitchen.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Chocolate%20Yoghurt%20Pots-1.jpg?width=810&height=1080&name=Chocolate%20Yoghurt%20Pots-1.jpg) Chocolate Pots](https://www.botanicalkitchen.com/recipes/chocolate-pudding-3-diet-styles/) SHOPPING LIST AT A GLANCE OUR RECIPES USE SIMILAR INGREDIENTS EACH WEEK TO HELP YOU BUILD A WORKING PANTRY ingredient focus: affordable + sensible + seasonal + sustainable Review each Recipe for Serving Ideas | Swaps & Substitutions + Additions.  Choose what you like!
