Time for another cooking workshop and the request was for some good snack recipes. Snacking has a bad reputation and when there are so many snacks available that are not really sustaining or nutritious then it is hardly surprising. What is a snack? It isn’t mindless grazing on cookies and crisps. To me a proper…

Menopause Chat in Maisons-Laffitte
There is a cute little cafe in Maisons-Laffitte called Graine de Gourmandise and the owner opens her doors in the evenings for intimate events and workshops. I will be there on April 25th from 19h talking about all things nutrition and menopause. The venue is intimate and a lovely spot to pass an hour or…
How did you sleep last night?
I slept badly last night. To be more accurate, I hardly slept at all. I went to bed and couldn’t fall asleep, dozed but by 2am it was clear that the more I lay there the more frustrating it would become. Time to get up and do something. For me that’s make a milky drink,…

February is all heart!
It is Heart Month – which makes perfect sense as we see hearts all over the place for Valentines Day. I could write all about how to look after your heart and heart healthy food but I want to ask something different. Do you know how to use a defibrillator? Do you know how to…
EAT MORE PLANTS!
Have you noticed my theme for January? The start of the year is always a time when we are open to being focused on improvements including how we eat. It is hard to make changes and keep them sustained for longer than the month of January so I wanted to inspire people with a simple…
Eating Better in 2024?
I am working with Maisons-Laffitte International again – a workshop to explore how to improve eating in a step by step way. With a simple lunch. Without judgement or fads. I like to think of eating well as an ever evolving thing – life changes and the challenges to cooking, shopping and eating move with…
Malnutrition starts at home
It’s malnutrition week. I support it wholeheartedly. Malnutrition is silent and subtle. It causes people to have poorer quality of life. People who are malnourished get ill more easily with more complications and poorer recovery. We think of malnutrition as something that is for hospitals and care homes. But more than 90% of malnutrition is…
The Clocks Have Changed….
After a very mild September and October, we have hit more seasonal weather with a bang. Storm Ciaran really hammered home that it is no longer summer. The clocks have fallen back an hour bringing darker evenings and a reminder that winter is on it’s way. What does that make me think of? Warm breakfasts…
Halloween – time for pumpkin soup
This time of year there are so many pumpkins and squash available. Pumpkins we often use for lanterns aren’t often the tastiest. There is one variety commonly found in France called Potimarron. Here in the markets this time of year there are plenty winter squashes and pumpkins to buy but this little fella is really…
