For me, however, whether it’s midweek or when we have friends over at the weekend, it’s pretty much where I’m at. On the one hand, 30 minutes is no time at all – it’s an episode of something quick on TV, a podcast listen or a catch-up with a buddy on the phone – but it’s also enough time to […]
Quick, Indian-inspired dishes make for great weeknight dinners . With just a handful of store-cupboard spices, you can transform simple ingredients – eggs, rice, lentils – into a feast.

Especially with price inflation for items like beef and pork, many experts advise keeping tabs on stores’ sales to help with cost-cutting. That way, you don’t have to omit […]
After weeks of a diet whose main food groups comprise paté, cheese and Ferrero Rocher, I’ve started the new year with mind and gut crying out for a change. I won’t be indulging in any crash dieting, though. Instead, I’ll be shifting my focus to foods that nourish and satisfy and, in particular, feed the gut microbiome.
