It all started a few years back. I wanted to eat healthier but found I could spend an entire Sunday scouring the internet for meal ideas, only to end up down the chippie more than I'd like. It wasn't that there weren't any recipes, it was just that they were all American. Those guys across the pond seem to have a very different idea about what makes a healthy, nutritious meal - after discovering a recipe consisting of little more than a " tin of gravy" I decided it was time to put my hand in my pocket and get some good books on the subject.
I love non-fiction books (nearly as much as I love food) so I was in my absolute element reading the crème de la crème of diet books and cross referencing their advice, with traditional nutritional tomes and almanacs. SO much so that I embarked on a nutritional therapy course. After absorbing the collective wisdom of the professionals, I set about experimenting with new fangled foods and tastes; concocting different ways to make the cooking process as quick and easy as possible for the most flavoursome results, all whilst maximising the health benefits of each meal.
