NOW IS THE TIME TO EAT NETTLES! SOUP, CURRY & SAUCE
Big apologies for the long silence but Ms’s Kale & Cocoa have been work-swamped. However, we’re coming up for air in time to make the most of my favourite foraging ingredient – the ubiquitous stinging nettle. Award winning health journalist, Susan Clark, describes the common nettle (usually thought of as a weed with a nasty…
HOW TO BE HAPPY, AND CHOCOLATE PANCAKES
Can food make us happy? Not as in ‘Oh God, this cheesecake makes my tummy smile’, but in terms of micronutrients which boost mood. The short answer is yes, and the good news is that happiness is – theoretically – just a salad away. Studies from all over the world support the idea that those…
REINVENTION AND CHICKEN LIVER PATÉ
The last fortnight has certainly brought a smile to the faces of Ms’s Kale & Cocoa.

ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH? FIBRE, THAT IS….
I’m not squeamish, but constipation is just one of those subjects that’s awkward to talk, and blog, about.

ROSEMARY FOR REMEMBRANCE: WHITE BEANS WITH MUSHROOMS
My short-term memory has been appalling during the last few weeks. I like to think it’s because I’ve run out of green tea and been too busy to replace it. But I suspect it’s the busy-ness that’s caused the problem. At a recent party I was barely able to have a fully-functioning conversation and spent…
INFLAMMATION, TURMERIC AND A SIMPLE FISH CURRY RECIPE
The more I read about turmeric the more I want it in my life. A natural anti-inflammatory, it’s been linked to a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s, cancer, liver disease. It’s also anti-septic, anti-bacterial and packed with anti-oxidants – that’s a lot of anti! In India, where the spice is consumed far more than here, less…

Bear with me writing about diets again, but it is still January. And what does ‘diet’ really mean? The word is usually associated with weight loss, of course, but there are ways to alter eating habits to bring both health benefits AND weight loss where needed.
