VOLUME 3 - Seasonal Mood Food - My new book!!!
Easy everyday recipes and fun facts to improve your health - the Spring edition
It’s back to my usual newsletters next week! But first, a little announcement…
Spring has sprung and so it’s time for the new volume of my book series: Seasonal Mood Food. This one is full of greens and salads but also still some comfort food because let’s face it, it still rains a lot in Spring!
Some of the recipes you can expect:
Rhubarb & Vanilla Custard Porridge
Tzatziki Turkish Eggs
Middle Eastern Shepherd's Pie
Jalapeño & Coriander Fish Tacos
Creamy Polenta & Borlotti Bean Stew
And many more!
If you give it a try, I’d really really appreciate you leaving me a review.
If you haven’t read Volume 1 and Volume 2, here’s a bit of a summary of what the series is all about:
Health to me isn’t just about the body, it’s also about the brain and our mood. To achieve well-being and healthy living, we not only need to eat lots of different plants, we also want to enjoy what we eat!
Research shows good mood food starts with meals everyone RAVES about!

Allow everything
Variety

Seasonality
Saying this, I know it’s easier said than done to just start eating more fruit and veg. It used to be 5 fruit/veg a day, now we’re starting to hear everywhere that we’re meant to eat over 30 different plants a week. But who has time to count up every single plant and think of ideas for what to cook! Let alone have time to cook it! Well this is where I hope to come in.
If you want to easily implement this to your everyday eating habits, and learn more about the links between food and mental health, that’s what this book is for.
