Eat food you love that loves you back
One of the main objections I hear from people about moving to a whole-food plant-based diet is that they don’t have time to cook from scratch every day.

Creating healthy, nourishing meals doesn’t have to be complicated though. Continue reading “Mediterranean lentils with charred asparagus”

Even though summer seems to be a little shy, I have really enjoyed eating lots of different salads this year.

Looking out of the window as I write, it’s hard to believe it’s Spring.

It’s days like this I like to eat food that reminds me the sun will shine again . This lovely salad does just that. Continue reading “Broad bean and sun-dried tomato salad”

One of the most common questions I get asked by people trying to move to a more whole-food plant-based diet is “What do I have for lunch?”. It’s particularly challenging for people who are avoiding gluten due to an intolerance or chronic health problem. It’s not so easy to rely on a sandwich or other bread option. Continue reading “Wholesome rice salad”
