There is a great deal of confusion and controversy around artificial sweeteners, so I thought I would do my own exploration so I can get a better understanding. I have sometimes used sweeteners, such as Agave Syrup or Date Syrup, believing they are a better ‘natural’ alternative to refined white sugar, or to ‘artificial sweeteners […]

Having suffered with IBS for 30 years I have explored many options to help me manage my symptoms and have been looking for a ‘cure’. Upon initial diagnosis, I was given bran to eat, and not just a little bit but I was recommended to eat at least 6 to 8 tablespoons a day! That […]

I have just recently discovered Kefir, in my exploration of fermented foods. I had always assumed that kefir was ‘dairy’ based, in the form of a cultured yogurt or drink. Now whilst milk kefir does not contain lactase, and is therefore good for those who are lactose intolerant…I still cannot have it. So I was […]

As someone who has always been an early riser, and by that anytime between 3am and 5am, I find the conceptualisation of a 5am club interesting. When I was growing up, I recall phrases such as ‘the early bird catches the worm’ and ‘early to bed, early to rise’, so I can only assume that […]

I don’t like the taste of the herb teas on the market, even the ones claiming to be made with organic produce. I have always struggled to find flavours which work well together and actually most teas end up tasting the same or are too sharp or sweet or do not taste of anything at […]

I have suffered with an intolerance to dairy and wheat gluten for about 17 years and have had IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) since my late teens. If you know my story, you will know that I began to explore how I could manage and treat myself using alternative remedies and also food. IBS can be […]

The Government’s new initiative, which was announced on the news yesterday, was advising us to have breakfast which consists of 600 calories. This infuriated me, I mean really infuriated me! In my opinion this is misleading and actually quite damaging advice. Why? I explained this in during my live cooking session of Facebook yesterday but […]

My visit to Goa to see my brother has been a perfect time for me to explore and try to cook using different ingredients, especially as my Mum is here with me. I have been quizzing her about all the herbs, spices and ingredients she used to use to make scrumptious meals when we were […]

You will see many examples of oats being used in recipes on Instagram for things such as energy balls, groats, zoats, smoothies and porridge, savoury or sweet. I decided to do a little research because my stomach became quite unhappy; distended, bloated and went into spasm, after eating gluten free oats which I used in […]

I’m Meera. About 20 years ago I realised I was gluten and dairy intolerant, so something had to change. And so began my journey of discovery into food, health and wellbeing - a journey I urge you to take with me.

Our nourishing bone broth made with love!
#Broth is an ancient remedy and an elixir of life. It heals our body and provides us with easily absorbed nutrients and collagen which is found in every aspect of the human body.
Vegan Broth
Vegan broth does not contain collagen, as #collagen cannot be obtained from anywhere other than animals. However, this broth contains a good combination of other nutrients.
Venison Bone Broth
Lamb Bone Broth
Chicken Bone Broth
We have refined the recipe and technique for cooking this broth to maximise the collagen and nutritional properties. We use filtered water and ceramic coated vessels to cook the broth, ensuring that there is no chemical contamination during cooking. To line and heal the gut, or for specific therapeutic purposes, this broth should be drunk warmed and neat

We hope everyone is staying cool today! Since the sun is shining, what does Vitamin D do? ☀️
The sun is one of the best sources of #vitaminD for the body! When your skin is exposed to #sunlight, it makes vitamin D from cholesterol.
How long do you need to spend in the sun to make enough vitamin D?
According to an in-depth Cancer Research UK-funded study, ‘they estimated that 9 minutes of lunchtime sunlight each day would be enough.’ (news.cancerresearchuk.org)
‘With the same conditions, even people with darker brown skin that hardly ever burns and easily tans – such as people of South Asian origin –and may only need 25 minutes.’ (news.cancerresearchuk.org) @cr_uk

Activated Walnuts!
Activated nuts are raw nuts that have been sprouted or germinated by soaking and gentle dehydration processes. They don't contain enzyme inhibitors and phytic acid, meaning theyre easily digestible. They're also great because they do contain more readily available nutrients.
