FloYoga and The chillaxed yogi
We’ve asked our much loved yoga teacher, Flo, to contribute some more of her wisdom to our blog (see her first post on Real Food). We wanted some simple Yoga positions that we could adopt easily into our lives.

Spicy, chilled and raw. Goodness me
Raw soup is like a savoury smoothie - sometimes better - as the ratio of vegetables to fruit is much higher. And you can add some all important spices and herbs.
We experiment with just about everything but use the 5 important tastes as a guide: bitter, sweet, sour, spicy and salty. We love adding a bit of apple or papaya for the sweetness and apple cider vinegar or citrus juice for the...

Parmesan Crisps
Super easy, crunchy snacks - just bake circles of grated parmesan in the oven and you’re away! You can make these nice and thick before bashing them up to make salty croutons or try them wafer thin as we do. Some people mould them, whilst still warm, around a wooden spoon to make fancy shapes but we like plain old discs of various shapes and sizes…...

Red radishes are crunchy, juicy, spicy, and add great color...
Superfoods
No single food can maintain and promote good health. That comes from the overall benefits of a healthy diet and lifestyle. But some foods have been classed as ‘superfoods’ because they are especially rich in health-promoting nutrients, antioxidants or phytochemicals (bioactive plant compounds) and therefore pack more of a nutritional punch than others.

Good ol beef stew
Beef stew, originally a peasant dish to feed your family, is now popular in restaurants and for dinner party guests. Simmer away some beef shin or oxtail and tenderize it with the help of some good wine. This stew is a perfect example of an economical dish - we can use cheaper cuts of meat from a quality, free range animal raised in a natural way so your money is being spent on what counts....
