Keeping Food Interesting

Healthy and nutritious food doesn’t have to be bland, unappetising and repetitive.

Keeping food interesting requires the use of food variety, fresh where possible and using items that are already in the ever-giving pantry at home or in the garden.

A garden or even a pot of herbs contributes amazing flavours, while stock, spices or preserved foods make fabulous contributions to your meal.

Even a backyard lemon tree or rhubarb patch makes great seasonal produce with all manner of recipe opportunities throughout the year.

With endless sources of recipes online, on TV and in print, you are sure to find inspiration.

Don’t restrict yourself to eating out for something different and tasty, experiment at home as well.

Good food is a combination of flavour, texture, colour, aroma and much needed anticipation!

The key is balance – not too much of any one type of food at the expense of others.

A balanced diet with a variety of meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, grains and starches is the best way to improve your diet to get to good health and nutrition.
