Anyone know any good books for simple healthy recipes?
Looking to eat a little better, most of the stuff I usually cook calls for butter and/or cream but the idea of grilled chicken and plain veg every night is depressing me. A bit of inspiration should help me along.

Chicken Chow Mein
150g/5oz dried yellow shi wheat flour noodles or medium egg noodles
toasted sesame oil
300g/11oz skinless chicken breast fillets, sliced into strips
a dash of dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon five-spice powder
1 teaspoon chilli sauce (optional)
1 tablespoon cornflour
2 tablespoons groundnut oil
1 red pepper, deseeded and finely sliced
150g/5oz bean sprouts
1 large spring onion, sliced lengthways
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
finely ground black pepper
1 Cook the noodles for 3 minutes in a pan of boiling water until al dente or as per the packet instructions. Drain, then run them under cold running water and drain again. Drizzle with a few splashes of sesame oil and toss through to prevent them from sticking.
2 Season the chicken with a splash of dark soy sauce, the five-spice powder and chilli sauce, if using, mix well. Coat lightly with the cornflour.
3 Heat a wok over a high heat, add the groundnut oil and heat until smoking, then add the chicken and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until cooked.
4 Add the red pepper and stir-fry for 1 minute, then add the bean sprouts and spring onion and stir-fry for less than 1 minute. Add the cooked noodles and season with the light soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil and ground black pepper. Stir well and serve immediately.

Going to try 500G of flour to 330ML water. See if that makes two 43CM ones. It can make 2 small loaves or one huge one.
