CHEFS IN SCHOOLS: I am honoured to be a new ambass

CHEFS IN SCHOOLS: I am honoured to be a new ambassador to @chefsinschools_uk, a truly inspirational charity that is improving the health of children by positively transforming school meals and food education. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
While nutrition has always been my primary focus, I have come to appreciate the importance of food in a child's life through a much wider lens of vision: from encouraging them to enjoy food and feel confident cooking, to education about farming and food production, to appreciation and understanding of the wider economic, social and cultural impacts that influence all of our food choices, as well as the devastating impact of rising childhood food poverty. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It's a hugely complex and nuanced topic, and one I am conscious may often be overlaid with strong emotions. As a busy parent myself, I certainly know how hard it is to get kids to engage with and enjoy nutritious food, however hard we may try! Yet despite all of this, I still feel deeply that feeding our children as well as we can, and encouraging them to love good and healthy food, is incredibly important - not only as parents, but as educators and as a wider society. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
That is exactly why I leapt at the chance to work alongside @chefsinschools_uk. They partner directly with schools to improve the food and food education offered to pupils, they help develop materials, resources and training programmes to help all schools achieve better food (including the brilliant new @hackneyschooloffood), and they campaign tirelessly to improve children's health through better food and food education. They want to encourage schools across the UK to serve great, creative and delicious school food, that doesn't just fill young people up, but feeds their imagination too. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠

A weekend of celebrations with my favourite things

A weekend of celebrations with my favourite things - lovely people, gorgeous flowers and delicious food. Despite the rain! 💗 (I typically forgot to take pictures of the food 🤪 but there is a short video of the kids lunch starting to set up). It felt SO good to finally be able to have a party and celebrate and let kids have freedom and fun. I hope you all had a lovely weekend too, rain or shine x

Early mornings with these two. Plotting the day ahead (Mabel doesn’t get much input…). It involves, not in order, a bike ride, a walk for Mabel, some dancing, making biscuits, “bsghetti” bolognaise, making some cards for her teachers, picking some vegetables, making a den, hunting for bugs and wearing our nighties all day. This is a girl with a plan! Hope you all have a lovely day x

GUT HEALTH: I recently updated and edited a compre

GUT HEALTH: I recently updated and edited a comprehensive three-part gut health series, which is up on my website (link in bio to part 1, then follow further links for the others). This 3-part series covers some key fundamentals on getting started with supporting your gut health, alongside sharing lots of resources and further reading suggestions if you'd like to dive into this topic in more detail (which it seems so many of you wish to do from the ma y questions I receive about this).⁠
⁠⁠
Our gut is intricately connected to all of our body, including our brain and our mental health. Nourishing our gut means nourishing ourselves, and I think many of could do with a little boost as we head into summer. Of course, if you can’t face doing anything new or differently right now, that’s just fine too. Self-compassion itself is important for nourishing our gut-brain connection. I hope you find it a helpful read. ⁠⁠
