Blue Lagoon Smoothie
Over the last month I have been cleansing my body of heavy metals.

Chickpea, Date and Cauliflower Tagine with Couscous
Over the course of the last few years I have changed my approach to how I both eat and cook food. I do most of my shopping locally and try to buy as much organic as I can. While I used to shop once a week and have waste at the end of the week I now aim to shop on market days so I get the best produce of the day. With that said sometimes you can't get to the farmers market, or grocery store let along leave your house or office at a normal hour so this recipe is perfect for one of those days.
