Healthy Eating Course

A practical evening cookery course covering salads, pulses, nuts, soups and marinades.  You cook a two course meal for two which you then take home. 

This is not designed to be a no holds barred, sandals and sackcloth, full on healthy eating course. Coming from a tradition that uses brandy, butter and cream, I have designed this course to be a gentle introduction to reduce fatty intake, as well as cholesterol and to decrease the amount of calories, sugar and salt,  at the same time as increasing  fibre. It includes products which have intrinsic or natural health benefits such as oil rich fish (omega 3) and berries, and added health value products such as natural yoghurts, vegetables and fruit.  It is all about interesting and enjoyable healthy food. This course is suitable for vegetarians and on nights when a fish or meat is the main course a vegetarian alternative will be available.
