Quality and time are always my winners in my book.
I love good food, that is not to say that I do not treat myself but essentially freshly cooked, wholesome food without additives or preservatives make me happy and in return I feel good. That said exercise plays a big part, as does the process of cooking and taking the time to enjoy the meal that is in front of me,
A rushed breakfast is very unhelpful start to my day, instead I choose a time after everyone has left the house (or currently on the correct laptop for school or work) to sit and fully take pleasure in my first meal of the day, whether it's porridge with linseeds and fruit or eggs on toast with roasted tomatoes. You might feel this is gratuitous, and a few years back I would be with you, but I found it counterproductive to not enjoy these moments. Daily stomach aches stopped me from focusing, which became a vicious cycle of a stressed stomach and nausea, but this has all but disappeared by changing my attitude towards my start of the day and just taking a little more time over meals...dare I say it, think back to when we savoured over restaurant meals when we used to go out!
Following the food seasons makes me happy too plus it is good on the pocket too...produce harvested at peak from local farmers so best quality, flavour and price.
Currently enjoying the food for the senses; warming roasts, crumbles, soups with fresh bread plus much more wonderfully cosy food.
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” – Hippocrates
Be kind to yourself and take your time to enjoy food at every level...see events below.
See you at the table.

EVENTS:
2021 has kicked off with a mixture of unknown with a whole lot more of the crazy world that we would love to escape. We are all hanging in there with home-schooling, working from home & supporting everyone around us. I am continuing with delivering allergy friendly treats, it is lovely to be part of the surprise. Last week saw birthday treats, thank yous and a hug in a box. A simple pleasure of fresh food delivered to your/their door.
Unfortunately, some events will no longer go ahead but you'll be delighted to hear that I'll be continuing with various events, albeit changing with the times, both with Lovely Bread hat on and also in my other guises - Table Stories and with cook-a-longs too. All of my events are tailored to be allergy-friendly - this means that you can socialise safe in the knowledge that you won't be eating something you'll regret!
