Seasonal Mood Food - Vol. 2 Winter

Easy everyday recipes and fun facts for winter.

Was your New Year’s Resolution to start eating a bit healthier? Want recipes that are good for you but are also delicious and keep your spirits up during harsh Winter?
This is Volume 2 of my series: Seasonal Mood Food - easy everyday recipes and fun facts.

If you haven’t seen Volume 1, here’s a bit of a summary of what the series is all about:
Health to me isn’t just about the body, it’s also about the brain and our mood. To achieve well-being and healthy living, we not only need to eat lots of different plants, we also want to enjoy what we eat!
Research shows good mood food starts with meals everyone RAVES about!

Saying this, I know it’s easier said than done to just start eating more fruit and veg. It used to be 5 fruit/veg a day, now we’re starting to hear everywhere that we’re meant to eat over 30 different plants a week. But who has time to count up every single plant and think of ideas for what to cook! Let alone have time to cook it! Well this is where I hope to come in.

If you want to easily implement this to your everyday eating habits, and learn more about the links between food and mental health, that’s what this book is for.

What can you find in the book?

An introduction looking into why we find new year’s resolutions hard and the scientific research helping us understand how to form lasting new habits.
