A few people I know have attended previous Sweat and Sound events, and they had all returned with very positive reviews.

I am not a morning person unless it's CHRISTMAS DAY!! I wake up with a spring in my step and cannot wait to dig into a special festive breakfast.

I struggle on the fodmap diet to have a large number of nutrients in my diet. I do try and add more vegetables into my diet, but often stick to the ones i feel 'safe' with. I have been asked by my family which vegetables i would like to have with my Christmas roast so... Continue Reading →
Festive Eating: Which Nuts are Low Fodmap?
Christmas with my family has always meant bowls of nibbles in the lounge, watching Christmas films. Usually we would have chocolate, olives, smoked salmon and nuts.
