Hello, Cosy in with a warming soup… Not only can soup be packed with fiber and nutrients, but because you blend it, it can be much easier to digest. If, like me, you can be sensitive to tomatoes, I find when they are cooked, I am less sensitive, but also removing the skins – so […]

Nourishing your body is essential for better health. Gut microbiome research is coming on leaps and bounds over the last few years.

I struggled to get napa cabbage, so used sweetheart cabbage instead and I don’t like radish. so I swapped that out […]
