Drawing on her own recovery journey, Richards offers a month-long plan designed to ease discomfort, restore energy and set readers up for lasting health and vitality.

Don't over-blend – you want to retain some texture rather than create a purée. If the mix is too wet, add a little of your chosen flour. Step 2 Divide the mixture into 8 patties. Place on a tray and chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to allow them time to firm up. Step 3 When ready to cook, heat a little olive oil in a sauté pan, add the fish cakes and cook on each side for 4-5 minutes, until golden. Step 4 While these are cooking, mix all of the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Mix the dressing ingredients in a small jug, then drizzle over the salad. Step 5 Place 2 salmon cakes on each plate with a generous portion of salad.

Add the rest of the ingredients and combine well. Season to taste. Step 3 Cover and place in the fridge until ready to eat. The salad will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Step 2 Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (or microwave in short bursts). Stir until smooth. Step 3 In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut sugar, eggs and vanilla until light and fluffy. Step 4 Once the coconut oil and chocolate are melted, stir into the egg mixture until fully combined. Step 5 Sift in the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and sea salt, and fold gently until just combined. Step 6 Pour into your lined tin and smooth the surface until evenly spread. Step 7 Drizzle the caramel sauce in little dollops randomly over the cake batter, then use a knife or skewer to swirl the sauce into the batter. Step 8 Sprinkle with extra sea salt flakes for an added salty kick. Step 9 Bake in the oven for 18-22 minutes. It is best if it has a very slight wobble in the centre, so you get a gooey brownie. Step 10 Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes (unless you like to eat it hot) before slicing it into 9 pieces. Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days, or in the fridge for a fudgier texture. Serve hot or cold. If hot, they are delicious with a dollop of coconut yoghurt and a drizzle of caramel sauce.

This should take around 4-5 minutes. Alternatively, to roast the pepper using the oven method, preheat the oven to Fan 200°C/220°C/425°F/Gas 7. Rub the pepper with 1 teaspoon of the oil and place it on a baking tray. Roast for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until softened and slightly charred. Once the pepper is roasted, let it cool slightly before removing the stem and seeds. Step 2 In a frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over a medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and a small pinch of salt and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it turns soft and golden. Stir in the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently so it doesn’t burn. Add the tomato purée, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper and let everything cook for about 1 minute to bring out the flavours. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften. Remove the pan from the heat. Step 3 Meanwhile, drain the tofu, pat it dry and squeeze out any moisture. Crumble it with your hands into small, uneven chunks about the size of a raisin. Transfer the cooked onion and tomato mixture to a high-speed blender or food processor. Add the roasted bell pepper, the sun-dried tomatoes, date or maple syrup and just enough water (about 3½ tablespoons) to make a smooth texture. Blend well, then taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed. Step 4 Return the frying pan to the heat, add the remaining oil and, once hot, spread out the crumbled tofu in an even layer. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and let it cook, without stirring, for 2-3 minutes. Stir, then continue cooking for 7-8 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until golden and slightly crispy. Pour the blended sauce over the tofu and stir to coat. Simmer over a medium heat for 5 minutes, then lower the heat and cook for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Step 5 Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and fresh coriander and serve with steamed quinoa or rice, sliced avocado, diced mango and pickled red onions.

Give it a good whisk to distribute everything evenly. Pour in the milk and mashed banana, stirring until the batter is smooth and thick. If it feels too thick, add a splash more milk; if too thin, sprinkle in a little more flour. Step 2 Place a frying pan over a medium heat and melt a teaspoon of coconut oil to coat the surface. Step 3 Spoon in the batter, about 1 heaped or 2 regular tablespoons per pancake, giving them a little space to spread. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until the edges start to look firm and small bubbles appear on the surface. Step 4 Flip carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until both sides are set and the pancakes have a soft, fluffy texture. Repeat with the rest of the batter, adding more oil as needed. Step 5 Stack the pancakes up and serve with your choice of fresh berries, crushed walnuts, a drizzle of almond butter or more maple syrup.

Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins, add to a small bowl and mash with a fork, then whisk in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the remaining tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and maple syrup, a pinch of salt and some black pepper.

But it’s the chimichurri that makes it sing – a punchy blend of parsley, coriander, garlic, apple cider vinegar and a little chilli. Step 2 For the brothy beans, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large sauté or frying pan (with a lid) set over a medium heat, then add the garlic and shallots. Cook for 5 minutes until softened. Step 3 Stir in the white beans, along with the stock from the jar, cover with a lid and simmer for 10 minutes until thickened slightly. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the yoghurt and season to taste. Step 4 To make the chimichurri, place the shallot, garlic, herbs, chilli, cider vinegar, 5 tablespoons of olive oil and a generous pinch of salt in a mini-chopper or food processor and blitz until combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Step 5 While the beans are cooking, place the green beans in a steamer and steam for 4-5 minutes until just tender, then toss through the chimichurri. Step 6 Spoon the brothy beans into bowls and top with the chimichurri green beans. Serve with bread on the side for dipping.
