Our names are Mark and Sue.We love eating a healthy and balanced wholefood plant-based diet.

Neither of us are trained chefs, but both of us have a passion for food and sharing it, just ask our friends that come to our dinner parties. In sharing what we cook each week we know that you will see trends and patterns in the way we think about food, you’ll discover easy ways to turn raw vegetables and ingredients into healthy, tasty meals that you, your friends and family will love. We are not going to get into the politics of being vegan, there are many other podcasts that do that. We are not not here to convince you to become vegan, there are other podcasts for that as well.

We are here to help you eat healthily, freshly cooked and delicious vegan meals everyday which don’t cost the earth or take hours to prepare.

Our focus this week is on beetroot, this is a wonderfully sweet and earthy seasonal vegetable which often either gets overlooked or turned into pickle - often not the most ingenious or appetising way to serve beetroot.

Beetroot is naturally high in sugars which means it's high in energy, which is what we need at this time of year (at the time of recording it is February). We go outside, it's cold and want to come indoors to eat warm and nourishing food, beetroot is the perfect answer.

In the pod cast we give tips on how to prepare beetroot without turning everything purple as well as ideas for:

Beetroot and coconut curry.
A dark and sumptuous chocolate cake made with beetroot.
Beetroot and sweet potato gratin.
Juiced beetroot.
Beetroot coleslaw.
Beetroot crisps.
Roast beetroot.

As well as beetroot we also talk about a soup we made this week, again including seasonal vegetables of carrot, parsnip and leaks.

To experience the true joy of seasonal wholefood, we highly recommend you put beetroot on your shopping list.
