About

We have always valued Organic and Free Range produce, knowing that it has more nutrients and less chemicals. Shopping locally, keeps our farmers in business and saves food miles. Growing our own vegetables when we can is great, we just need to come to an arrangement with the pests (especially the slugs) that we also want to eat the food. Cooking is how I relax and I love to provide fresh meals, full of goodness, low fat and also flavoured with herbs from our garden. We need to change our diet from the red meat bias that we have had to a white meat/fish bias, plus more vegetarian dishes. This blog is going to show our journey towards a "heart healthy" diet for the whole family.
