Hi, Thank you for popping by, are you wanting to have a healthier lifestyle, thinking of a plant-based diet but don't know how to dip your toe in? Do you have conditions that make you think it is too hard or too dangerous?  Well, I am here to help. I am a qualified Chef and now work as a registered Advanced Nurse Practitioner with a Diploma in Nutrition and I have been Vegan for 8 years. I am often asked for recipes that are straightforward, that the whole family can eat but doesn't have lots of ingredients, weird ingredients, or take hours to prepare, and then of course I get asked....where do you get your protein from? That old nugget. Well between me and you everyone eats too much protein but I will go into that another day.  For now, ask me your questions, talk to me about your concerns and we can look at developing a course for you. Everyone is different and therefore every plan will be individual to you. Keep in touch and remember to pop in regularly
