vitamin B6

It’s a new year, and for many of us, that means new year’s resolutions! And topping the list nearly all of the time is the desire to be healthier - we want to move more and we want to eat better. Undisputed is the fact that protein is essential for good health, and that animal protein particularly provides all the essential amino acids we need, so how do we continue to incorporate this all-important macronutrient in our diet while making healthier choices? 

Winter is on its way and soon we’ll be spending more time in our kitchens cooking up a storm and enjoying much-loved warm winter dishes – and topping that list of comfort food has to be a traditional roast.

Douglas Adams, the English author and humourist, said ‘it is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes’, and while that may be true in any one of his parallel universes, in this reality you can come pretty close – just imagine creamy mashed potato or crispy hash browns and suddenly your problems don’t seem so dire, do they?
