The A to V

Recipes

Too often we take the more 'black and white', single-nutrient, view of food these days. It's easier, right? But when did we stop celebrating food and start obsessing over individual nutrients?

The ethos of all A to V recipes is to try and bring a bit of the joy back to so-called 'healthy' eating. Food shouldn't be 'good' or 'bad'. It's just food (glorious food!). Something we all need in the right quantity, and something we all should enjoy if we’re lucky enough to access enough. So whether you're vegan or an enthusiastic omnivore, keen to get more vitamins and minerals into your diet without popping a supplement, or just looking for some new ideas I hope there's something here for you all.

A final note. Because most of us (most of the time) simply don’t need expensive supplements, you can find information about the micronutrient content of these recipes in each one. But I deliberately haven’t even attempted to tell you how much of each and every nutrient these foods contain because a) it would probably be wildly inaccurate and b) I believe dietary patterns and the wider food and socio-economic environment are more useful and important for a healthy and happy life than an obsessive focus on individual nutrients. Enjoy.
