Nourish From The Kitchen

Synopsis

Most individuals are well aware of the negative health outcomes associated with diets high in ultra-processed foods, and yet for many, a lack of time and money are often cited as main reasons for choosing them, and not eating more homecooked wholefoods. This training explores ways to introduce more high-fibre wholefoods into the diet with quick, simple recipes – accessible to even the most inexperienced chef. The benefits of meal planning and bulk prepping are explored – with tips on how to get started.
