Grief can make it hard to focus on nourishing yourself, but cooking true comfort food doesn't have to be complicated. Join me online on 10 April at 11am for a one-hour cooking session where you'll learn to make my 'Magic' Soup – a simple, nourishing lentil and vegetable dish that will become your reliable go-to meal during difficult times.

This hearty, comforting soup is packed with protein and perfect for boosting your energy and stabilising your mood, making it an ideal meal when navigating grief. It's also gentle on the digestive system, helping to prevent or ease grief-related digestive issues. Best of all, you can make it in advance and it adapts to whatever ingredients you have on hand.

What to expect from this session:

✔️ Cook along with me in your own kitchen – I'll guide you step-by-step to make this nourishing soup in about 30 minutes (chopping time: less than 5 minutes!)
✔️ Learn why these ingredients support your grieving body – explained in simple, accessible language
✔️ Simple swaps to make the recipe your own – how to adapt it based on what you like or have available
✔️ Slow-cooker tips – how to adapt this recipe for even quicker, hands-off cooking
✔️ Open discussion – share any cooking/eating challenges you're facing

You can either cook along with me or simply watch and join in the conversation – whatever suits you best. Whether you’re new to cooking or just looking for easy, comforting meals to keep you going, this session is designed to support you. We’ll cook together, share meal prep tips, and finish by tasting each other’s soups. 💛

What you'll need: Basic kitchen equipment (saucepan, knife, chopping board) and simple, affordable ingredients (around £3-5). Full ingredient list will be sent upon registration.
