I've been wanting to post for about a week now but am having an issue with iphoto, so I've not been able to upload new photos for the blog. I'm taking my mac to the apple shop tomorrow - fingers crossed they can repair it - I'm slightly concerned... Any-who that's the reason I'm not posting any family photos today.
However, whilst not being able to work on my blog I've had a little bit of time to look through a lovely new cookbook that we were given for Christmas from Sam's mum's husband Chris (Thanks Chris!)
Not being from London means that I've never heard of the restaurant chain Leon. Their vision is basically healthy fast food. I've really enjoyed flicking through the book so far. Book 4 is full of healthy recipe ideas for the modern family. There is a nice section on 'Cooking with kids', a Nutrition section with many of the recipes being low GI, low saturated fat, wheat free, gluten free, dairy free or vegetarian.
The recipes are accompanied by photos of their friends and family, who have either given their recipes for use in the book or are related to the dish in some way. There is a fun section called 'Things on sticks' - a variety of tasty, healthy party food, and then something I'll try in the future when we're ill is 'Kays Hard Core Cold-Buster' which incorporates 20 cloves of garlic, water, dried sage and honey. Sounds disgusting but they say it works!
If you live in London there are lots of their restaurants in different areas. They serve fresh lunchbox ideas, quick, hot flatbread wraps, meatballs, curries and falafel to name a few.
