Food is a fundamental part of our lives and forms a significant part of our self-care. We all know that what we eat has an impact on how we feel and that we sometimes dismiss the wisdom of our bodies in moments of indulgence, distraction or relief.
Here we present some simple, everyday recipes to inspire, support and confidence build. You can approach them light-heartedly and playfully. Give them a go. Adapt them and experiment with different ingredients to tailor them for your taste and day to day needs. Use them as a way to get to know your body and what supports it more or less. Be your own researcher in the kitchen… the only ‘rule’ is to keep it light and have fun.

Meal and food prep are part of how we care for ourselves and are great self-care tools in supporting us to eat well, especially when we have a full week ahead. This level of support means we are less likely to eat poorly when at work and also when we feel tired after a long day.

Have fun in the kitchen. Let it be playful; be a culinary experimenter; taste everything; get to know spices and herbs; adapt recipes and make them your own; make a mess; no need to be rigid about quantities, recipes can be endlessly flexible and food tends to be very forgiving.
Question the norms. For example, do we have to have bread with soup, cheese with pasta, sweet dessert after every meal, sugar in savoury recipes…? Bring your innate common sense to the kitchen and ask questions. Our bodies, when we listen attentively and honestly, guide us well.
