simple food pleasures
These past months have been a return to basics for many people. More cooking from home and lots of us are looking for inspiration and recipes as the weeks of social distancing continue! We love these recipes from Lee Holmes’ book, 'Supercharge Your Life'.
“In order to reignite a pleasure of food, getting back to basics and a simple way of living and eating that’s in line with the earth and its seasons, and creating space in our own lives to be able to grow and gather food, plan our meals, then cook and sit down at a table with time to truly enjoy each and every mouthful and moment makes sense.”
