One of the biggest challenges during lockdown is to keep your loved ones safe and strong. Give them a boost by preparing wholesome meals packed with nutritious ingredients to help improve their immune systems.
Mindful Eating, a new cookbook out now, will help guide you through this tricky time.
In these recipes you won’t find the strange ingredients that you usually see in health food cookbooks. Instead, this is a clever combination of fresh ingredients you can find in normal shops, and kitchen staples.
The dishes are loaded with flavour mainly by adding spices and herbs.
