How are those New Year resolutions going? Are you managing to fit in the exercise/healthy meals/time with the family that you promised yourself? As someone who constantly says ‘I don’t have time…’ I was struck by this comment from the Wall Street Journal that a wise friend posted on social media on New Year’s Day:…
VEG UP THIS CHRISTMAS AND BARLEY RISOTTO
Counting down to Christmas and wondering just how many meals you’re going to have to cook over the festive season? We know that feeling all too well. I’ve ditched the whole thing this year by heading off on holiday but I know Annabel is catering for 17 on the day itself, and that’s without all…
EAT LIKE A FOUNDLING: SICILIAN CHICKEN WITH POTATOES & ARTICHOKES
I spent this morning at the Foundling Museum. For those you that don’t know it, the Foundling Museum is one of London’s best kept secrets, with a lovely newly opened café (which I whole-heartedly recommend). The museum currently has a small but intriguing exhibition (hurry – ends 8th January) on the food fed to its…
DEMENTIA AND WINTER FISH SALAD
A few months ago I found an elderly man in my street, cowering against a wall. It was dark and he was clearly disoriented, upset and frightened. He wasn’t fully dressed and appeared to have wet himself. I confess I had no idea what to do or who to call. The police? The ambulance? Wouldn’t…
FIGHTING FIT WITH FAT, THE HEALTH GAP AND A RECIPE FOR MEATFREE WEEK
For those of us who came of age in the last century the idea that fat is a health food used to sound like crazy talk. But there’s been report after report in recent years on the benefits of fat (and we’ve covered many of them on Kale & Cocoa) and I’ve finally got the…
WHY STRESS MATTERS – FREEKEH WITH ARTICHOKES
It’s been a stressful time in British politics. Our political elite appear to have disintegrated in the space of a week. As I’ve watched Tony Blair, David Cameron, Barack Obama and a host of other politicians on screen, I‘ve distracted myself with close scrutiny of their appearance. And I’ve been struck by how quickly they’ve…
BOOK SPECIAL! ANNABEL’S BOOK LAUNCH AND CALGARY AVANSINO
It’s no secret that we love a good book – a novel, a cook book, a biography – Kale & Cocoa loves a great read, and not just because reading is a fantastic way of keeping the brain ticking over as we get older. So I’m incredibly proud of my co-blogee, Annabel, on the publication…
THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT DEMENTIA, HEALTHY EATING AND KALE & SALMON FRITTATA
Have you watched the recent BBC programmes on dementia? Both the unbearable moving Living With Dementia: Chris’s Story and Angela Rippon’s programme The Truth About Dementia are still on BBC iPlayer if you missed them. It’s brilliant to see dementia discussed on primetime network television. Angela did a wonderful, heart-warming job revealing the human stories…
EATING LESS – WHITE BEAN AND ANCHOVY DIP
Great to hear today’s big ageing research: older women who go to church at least twice a week live for five months longer, on average, than those that don’t. The extra longevity is not attributed to the divine hand of God, however, but to the sense of community regular church attendance provides. I suspect faith…
