urturing, restorative and nutritious, there’s something really quite special about a slow-cooked meal, as the authors of Superfood Slow Cooker (Ryland Peters & Small, £14.99), Nicola Graimes and Cathy Seward, explain. ‘It’s an antidote to hectic, modern life and the preoccupation with fast food. The beauty of slow cooking is partly its simplicity, and the recipes inside our book use readily available, nutritious and fresh ingredients.
The other thing to remember is that superfoods don’t have to be exotic, expensive or only found in specialist shops. Simple, everyday fresh foods have the power to support and boost our health and as the authors say, ‘It’s more than just about physical wellbeing – superfoods can be as good for the soul as they are for the body.’
