Introducing British Quark and a new 5:2 Diet Recipe: Mea Culpa. I am shallow and although I thought I’d have little interest in a ‘new dairy product from Lake District Dairies’, I did think that having my lunch cooked for me by the Fabulous Baker Brothers might be fun. Which of course it was. But, […]
5-2 Diet Haddock and Healthy Living
Living the 5-2 Way – Healthier, Food Aware Eating A side effect of fasting for some people, including me, seems to be a heightened set of senses. Particularly taste and smell.

I have the book (still to be reviewed, but highly recommended!). I have even had a cookery lesson from him, courtesy of Davidstow Cheddar. But, until now, I have never […]
Fish Pie
