Watercress, Spinach & Pea Soup

I don’t usually have a diatribe before the recipe, but feel this is relevant today as it was when this recipe came into being in March 2014 … (written in April 2014) Twenty two days ago I had a total laparoscopic hysterectomy – my uterus, ovaries and cervix were all removed with key hole surgery.

Fennel, Celery & Kelp Noodle Salad

Kelp, seaweed and sea vegetables contain one of the most easily absorbed and highest levels of calcium and minerals we can consume. My lunch is a really important meal for me.
