Matthew Evans takes food seriously, saying what you<br />
buy, how you cook and what you eat impacts way<br />
beyond your front door. The Real Food Companion<br />
is a heafty book - more than 550 pages with 200-plus<br />
recipes-the result of Matthew’s four decades as a chef,<br />
food writer, and farmer, and multiple years’ research.<br />
The information is extensive and enlightening - it’s like<br />
having the farmer, butcher, and baker in your kitchen;<br />
the produce-driven recipes are simple, delicious and<br />
unpretentious. And its core mission is teaching readers<br />
how to ethically source, cook and eat real food. And,<br />
says this food activist, if this book’s recipes, insights<br />
and observations influence your choices in even the<br />
smallest way, and if it brings joy to your table at the<br />
same time, his work is done! Murdoch Books, R800<br />
Eating well(ness)<br />
Plant based. It’s the new buzzword, and<br />
it’s not going away. Nor should it. More<br />
and more of us are choosing plant-based<br />
diets and whole foods. Plant-based.<br />
Vegetarian. Vegan. And even those who<br />
are not going all the way, most of us<br />
are cutting down on sugar, embracing<br />
Meat Free Mondays, trying dairy-free<br />
options, and cutting back on alcohol.<br />
And since lowering stress is also high up<br />
on our agenda, we’re all about taking the<br />
easy-healthy way out. No time to cook or<br />
prepare ... no excuse. The new Woolies<br />
Wellness range does it all for you. We’re<br />
talking healthy but delish breakfasts like<br />
Goji Berry and Beetroot Granola, quick<br />
no-cook lunches like Roasted Butternut<br />
and Beetroot Salad, and fast, air-fryerfriendly<br />
dinners like PlantLove crumbed<br />
soya ocean portions. We’re loving the<br />
black quinoa (crunchier and sweeter<br />
than the red and white quinoa, it’s a<br />
high protein-based grain with loads of<br />
fibre and less fat), and the gluten-free<br />
Yellow Lentil Pasta, which we tried with<br />
Creamy Cheese Style Sauce, made with<br />
vegan cheese. There are also you-won’ttaste-it’s-de-alcoholised<br />
wines, and some<br />
fabulous sugar free flavoured sparkling<br />
drinks ... we’re a little obsessed with<br />
the coconut and pineapple one. All at<br />
Woolies stores and online.<br />
