We love a bowl of goodness that offers fibre-packed whole grains, greens, healthy fats and protein without skimping on flavour or texture. There’s such a huge variety of interesting grains available now: freekeh, farro, buckwheat, quinoa, barley and millet all have places in my larder. They’re great with seasonal vegetables, dark leafy greens and zingy…
CAN YOU EAT TO BEAT POLLUTION?
Worried about pollution? We are too. This week, researchers announced that air pollution is now killing more people than smoking. The new study focuses on ozone and PM2.5 (they’re the tiny particles of Particulate Matter invisible to the naked eye but able to penetrate our lungs and – possibly – cross into our blood). The…

TURKISH RED LENTIL SOUP
With this week’s news focusing on the link between junk food (ultra processed food) and cancer, diabetes, heart disease and … death, we thought the best thing we could do was provide a recipe that’s almost as simple and convenient as a ready meal but brimming with nutrients, fibre and anti-oxidant-rich spices.
