Veganuary is here!!

I would like to present to you the ‘Vegan Conundrum’. Vegan eating has become both easier and harder at the same time. Vegan means to eat a totally plant based diet containing no meat, fish, eggs, milk or other dairy products, honey or any food containing any ingredient from an animal by-product. More and more…

Eating Better in 2025?

I like to think of eating well as an ever evolving thing – life changes and the challenges to cooking, shopping and eating move with those changes. The things we want to do more of and less of stay the same but the motivation waxes and wanes. Pressures on time and money change, who likes…

The trouble with ADHD

…might be getting a diagnosis! BBC news have found that it would take at least 8 years to clear the backlog of adult ADHD assessments. This may also apply to autism assessments too. Undiagnosed ADHD and Autism can lead to GPs treating people for anxiety, depression and burnout where this is a product of the…

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,…

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…

Mindful Eating – what is it?

Before Christmas I posted about mindful eating and how it might be useful over the Christmas period. Now that we are in January, the time for new year resolutions and losing weight and eating better has hit. Maybe a bit of mindful eating principles would be more helpful than a new diet? So how can…

Food Matters Live 2018

A couple of weeks ago, I headed to London for 3 days of feeling all grown up and professional. Food Matters Live is a big event aimed at anyone involved in food – food manufacturers, food scientists, food developers, food writers, nutritionists, dietitians, researchers etc. It has an incredible array of seminars in 9 or…

Mindful Eating – what is it?

I am no expert in Mindfulness as a concept. But mindfulness and eating is becoming a very hot topic and it interests me a lot. I have always been a little uncomfortable with ‘diets’ and the restriction and unrealistic eating patterns that they often result in. Then when the diet is over, the tendency is…
