Our chefs have more than a couple of culinary tricks up their sleeves when it comes to calorie counting at supper time. Use low-fat turkey mince to make a flavoursome, yet light spaghetti bolognaise. Or try a hearty haddock pie made with skimmed milk and low-fat fromage frais-enriched potatoes. Alternatively go for the pretty in pink option – we love Ainsley Harriott’s light and dainty beetroot borscht.
