Eat food you love that loves you back
I love a stir fry. They’re easy to make, super quick to cook and you can eat a lovely rainbow of fresh veggies in one sitting. I mean what’s not to like…..? Well if you have food intolerances or are eating a plant-based diet for health, finding a flavoursome sauce to accompany the veg can be a challenge! Continue reading “Stir fry sauce”

I find a sauce livens up any meal. And one as vibrant as this tasty green sauce definitely does the trick! And what’s even better, it doesn’t take an age to make – just a matter of minutes. Continue reading “Easy green sauce”

When I first started to run my course Eat Well Live Well, all about eating a whole-food plant-based diet, I used to cook lunch for the participants each week.

Bubble and squeak always makes me think of Christmas Day. And my Dad. It was his speciality! Continue reading “Baked bubble and squeak”
