Looking for healthy yet tasty recipes? Chef Ariel Fox shares four unique and healthy dishes inspired by Latin and Caribbean cuisines that don't sacrifice flavour. 

Cashew crema

Cashew crema is a great alternative to Mexican-style crema, sour cream, or French-style crème fraîche. It can be easily adjusted in texture by adding a touch of cold water and whiskin in if a looser consistency is called for such as drizzling over a soup.

Pumpkin soup

This healthy, hearty soup is sure to warm the soul and can be enjoyed from late September until almost Christmas. 

Crispy chicken thighs served with Peruvian green sauce

Crispy-skin chicken thighs served with tangy and creamy sauce. 

Blackberry and cho cho pie with crumble topping

Imagine an apple crisp and a blackberry pie had a baby. It becomes this magical, crumbly pie. 

Grilled cauliflower and corn esquites

Blending the charred corn with roasted cauliflower cuts the carbs while preserving the sweetness of the corn.
