There is no doubt that a huge casualty of modern life is that we are all just so darn busy ensuring that eating well is a good intention often unfulfilled.

It doesn’t help matters when there is so much conflicting dietary advice, a new survey showed that we aren’t eating as healthily as we should with less than a third of us consuming the recommended ‘5 A DAY’.

While we can’t organise your life to make it simpler, we can offer you a simple and nutritious meal that is tasty and easy to prepare.
