A doctor-approved spring recipe
London-based doctor Dr Rupy Aujla – also known as The Doctor’s Kitchen – is a pioneer in the world of medicinal food. All his recipes draw on both ancient and modern medicine approaches, but his latest cookbook, Doctor’s Kitchen 3-2-1, adds a new element. Every dish is formulated to contain three portions of fruit or vegetables and to serve two hungry mouths – all using just one pan. Below we share one of the recipes from the book: spring vegetables with miso butter and teriyaki rice.
