After the excesses of Christmas, all we really want is food to give you a spring in your step and help you to shift any unwanted weight gain. Here's the perfect menu: the starter serves 6 as a main course so will be fine for a starter for 8. Make double quantities of the main course - what a feast!

Starter

Slow-cooked root vegetable soup

Something happens to vegetables when they're cooked very slowly for a long time: their flavour becomes mellow but at the same time more intense, and your kitchen is filled with aromas of goodness. This soup is also completely fat-free.

Main course

Teriyaki grilled marinated salmon with cucumber and sesame seed salad 

This has a slightly higher fat content than my other Waist Watcher recipes because I'm using salmon, which works best, but it can be made with other fish, such as cod or haddock fillet, too. If you have problems tracking down Japanese ingredients, try www.clearspring.co.uk

Dessert

Cappuccino cheesecakes

These are so lovely, no-one will know they're low-fat. You do need to make them the day before as they're much easier to remove from the cases if they've had a chance to become firm.
