Eat food you love that loves you back
This is my second post in the “5 easy steps to start your whole-food plant-based journey’. Last week I covered step 0 – know your ‘why’. This week it’s step half – one more thing you need to think about before you start making positive changes that last. And it’s a simple but profoundly difficult one to stick to – go at your own pace.

Here’s the start of my series running up to Christmas – 5 Easy Changes you can make to get your whole-food plant-based journey started. You may well be expecting me to start with number one. But, no, this is me after all! Continue reading “Easy changes – step 0!”
I was so happy to be a speaker at Vegfest London at the end of October. If you follow me on social media, you’ll know that I was there for the day, selling my book Eat Well Live Well with The Sensitive Foodie and then giving a talk near the end of the day. It was a bit of a dream come true as I have been a huge fan of Vegfest for years. Continue reading “Easy changes series”

There’s an old tradition that’s made a very welcome come back in the last few years – Afternoon Tea. And what’s not to like? Little sandwiches, a lovely selection of delicious cakes all washed down with dainty cups of freshly brewed tea. Continue reading “Afternoon tea”
Some people find changing to a whole-food plant-based diet easy, for others its more challenging. One area that seems to be a big stumbling block is breakfast. On the surface it seems easy – cereal or toast are most peoples go-to options. Continue reading “Breakfast inspiration”
My husband travels a lot with his job. Whilst it takes him to all sorts of interesting places, some locations can be a bit challenging when it comes to finding healthy plant-based food options. Each country has its local breakfast options – this week he’s off to Bangalore and so he’s looking forward to getting a delicious masala dosa in the morning.
