Welcome

Welcome to my personal web site and blog. Some areas of the site still aren’t as complete as I would like them to be, but slowly but surely it will get there-there just never seem to be enough hours in the day, especially at the moment as my new book NOURISH has just come out, which is exciting.

If you can't make it to my practices, you might want to look at past articles on the Daily Mail, London Times and Observer websites  for health and nutritional advice.

This year I’m planning to not only pull off a large new project, something I’ve been working towards for a long time now, but also on a wider level ensure that I stop enough and treasure where I and Maya are at, for this feels such a special place right now. We start our week with a candle lit supper on a Monday evening, where Maya takes the restaurant orders...READ MORE
