What have you got packed in your lunch box today? A sandwich or wrap perhaps, a packet of crisps and maybe some fruit. These kind of things are great, however when the weather turns cold, you may be craving something warmer in your lunch box to take off the chill.

November is National Pomegranate Month and there is so much more to this sweet and delicious fruit that meets the eye.

Autumn is officially here, which means that it’s the start of the seasonal festivals in the run up to Christmas – sorry, I hope mentioning the ‘C’ word didn’t make you nervous.

Halloween is massive in the USA, but is quickly becoming more popular in the UK too.

There is nothing better than a good balanced diet for a healthy mind and body. Since it was World Heart Day on 29th September, we thought that it would be great to share some specific foods that are rich in nutrients, healthy fats and fibre and have been shown to maintain heart health.

Flour, eggs, sugar are the basic ingredients to a decent cake, however, how about getting experimental with your bakes with alternative ingredients that will help to reduce the sugar and fat content to make them a little bit healthier.

It’s National Burger Day, the perfect excuse to get the BBQ going and get your family and friends over for some fun in the summer sunshine. Why not try these delicious lamb and chickpea burgers that are spiked with Moroccan flavours from the delicious harissa paste.

With the weather warming up and the summer holidays just around the corner, you’re probably in a frenzy about what you’re going to do to keep the little ones entertained over the long holiday.

If you are on the path to adopting a healthier lifestyle, going on holiday can feel like an anxious experience because of all of the beautiful tempting food that’s on offer. You may be scared of coming back a little heavier and indulging too much after all your hard work.
