Sound on for context đŁ
In 2015, I was in a small bookshop called Books for Cooks in Notting Hill, London. âFood Rulesâ by Michael Pollan, I was hooked, his writing encapsulates deeply grounded, human-centred approach to food, culture, health and the environment.
Nutrition clients that I have worked with who do not cook at all, but would like to do so. I always suggest to start off simple and get really good at it.
It could be just scrambled eggs on toast with a side of avo
It could be a roasted veggie frittata or a veggie loaded bolognese
Just one meal - try
I really believe cooking at home can be the most powerful tool that you can do for your health.
Michael Pollan said it best, âThe decline of cooking has coincided with the rise of diet-related disease.â the research can back this up.
But cooking isnât just about nourishment. Itâs about connection. Itâs about knowing whatâs actually in your food. It can be basic. It can be complex. And itâs a skill thatâs sadly being lost in a world of social media, ready-made meals, and fast food.
Iâd love to know if you enjoy cooking, what challenges you find. If you were brought up in a household where your mum or dad cooked? Talk to me. I would love to know your story.
