Recipe box firm Mindful Chef has teamed up with science and nutrition company Zoe to launch a range of recipes with a variety of plants and gut-friendly foods.

The recipes, which include a smoky hake, artichoke and sundried tomato stew, aubergine parmigiana, sweetcorn and spinach dhal with curried cashews, and a gochujang bean bowl with eggs and kimchi, will feature on the Mindful Chef menu this November.

Each recipe was handpicked by Zoe co-founder Tim Spector from his new book The Food for Life Cookbook and look to embody the businesses core nutritional principles, such as incorporating 30 different plants per week and minimising ultra-processed foods.

Mindful Chef co-founder Giles Humphries said: “We’re thrilled to partner with Zoe and bring their science-first approach to healthy eating to our customers. At Mindful Chef, we’re committed to making healthy eating easier, and these new recipes from The Food for Life Cookbook perfectly align with that mission.

“By incorporating a variety of plants and gut-friendly foods, we’re making it easier for our community to enjoy delicious meals that support overall well-being. It’s an exciting step forward in promoting healthier, more mindful eating.”

Spector added: “The Food for Life Cookbook brings to life my six key guiding principles for health in over 100 delicious and nourishing recipes, showing just how simple and enjoyable it can be to adapt to a way of eating that’s great for your gut. This partnership with Mindful Chef makes it easier and quicker for people to eat the Zoe way, without compromising on quality.”

In July, Zoe, which has formed tie-ups with M&S and Waitrose over the past year, secured an £11.7m ($15m) investment as it eyes US expansion.

The funding is understood to have come from New York-based investor Coefficient Capital and will help fuel the brand’s US debut.
