Liam Gallagher is trying his hand at cooking lentil stews and soups in a bid to eat healthier in 2015.

The former Beady Eye frontman has been getting a helping hand from his girlfriend Debbie Gwyther in the kitchen in an attempt to learn some new recipes and as well as gorging on some nutritious home-cooked meals, the 42-year-old star has also been exercising hard.

A source said: ''Liam's never cooked before but it's helped him relax. His girlfriend Debbie Gwyther has been showing him the ropes. He's been having a go at lentil stews, stir-fries and soups.

''It's all part of his plan to get healthy in 2015. He's been getting fit by going on jogs.''

The ex-Oasis frontman's new healthy living regime is said to be helping him deal with the two court battles he is currently embroiled in - a child-support hearing with Liza Ghorbani over their 22-month-old daughter, who he has never met, and a divorce settlement with his second wife Nicole Appleton.

The source added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: ''He's trying not to let the stress of everything get on top of him.''

However, Liam's latest healthy eating stint is certainly not the first time he has taken to the kitchen to cook up a nutritious storm as he used to refer to himself as the 'Salmon King' while out and about and previously revealed his favourite dish to knock up was salmon and stir fry.

Speaking in 2009, he said: ''I'm always banging away at the fish man. I used to really dig sardines, but now I'm on the salmon. The royalty cheques have started rolling in again. I'm on the salmon big time. My top three fish are salmon at number one, sea bass at two and sardines are third.

''My number one dish is f***ing salmon and stir-fry. You need to pre-heat your oven for 10 minutes. F***ing loads of soy sauce. Get your salmon wrapped up in some tin foil with a fold in the end. Stick it in the oven for 15 minutes. Take it out, bit of stir-fry, loads more soy sauce. F***ing top dish, no mess, sweet!''
