I would like to present to you the ‘Vegan Conundrum’. Vegan eating has become both easier and harder at the same time. I was involved in a bit of discussion within a food writers group on Facebook last year about the rise in acceptability of veganism as outlined in an Observer article and read a…
Tasting the Mediterranean Life
I just spent a week or so in Crete. Although it was a holiday, there was no escaping doing some writing and proof reading for the soon to be released book. “Eating Well for the Menopause” has so many references to the Mediterranean way of eating it was quite a timely trip. More about Menopause…
Burns night approaches
On 25th January is Burns night, the night to celebrate the famous Scottish poet Robbie Burns. It is always special to me – I don’t think I have any ancestry connecting me to the great man but I do like that I share his name. Central to the celebrations is eating a simple meal of…
A big journey ahead…
I am heading to South Korea. Not on a holiday. A much bigger adventure than that and with the weight of guiding the adventure of 36 young people that are going with me. For the last ten or more years, I have been a Scout Leader. I have been on many scout camps in my…
Minding the Zs and Ps
Laura and I are presenting to Nutritionists in Industry at their Women’s Health meeting bringing up the lesser spoken about issues that affect women through and post menopause.

Testimonials from other Nutritionists

Minding Me: Reframing Menopause
The focus of the retreat was food and nutrition, this content was something I was confident about after all the work with Let’s Talk Food and Laura. The venue was picked for its beauty and intimacy created by the hostess, an experienced, vegetarian chef. Yet I think I had underestimated the wider benefits of a…
Women’s Health Workshop
After a lovely session on balanced eating for the family last month, we are continuing sessions on food and health to extend the ‘Family Factory’ to the wider family. Women are often looking after the rest of the family and so the next workshop is aimed at the women of the family. On Tuesday 22…
Nutrition & Hydration Week 2022
This week is Nutrition & Hydration which aims to prevent malnutrition, something that is surprisingly common in Europe for a wide range of reasons. It is a common belief that malnutrition is a problem in hospitals and care homes, something that doctors, nurses, dietitians and caterers within the care sector are responsible for fixing. But…
