Take It Easy Tea
What will this recipe make?
As stress first aggravates the nervous system and then the digestion, this is a tea designed to tackle the problem in reverse. It first relaxes the digestive system and then calms you down. It is Pukka's original vata-stress balancing tea.

Chilli beans on toast – breakfast favourite
This ticks all the boxes and is one of my favourites.
Vegan, plenty of protein and good fats, both of which we need with every meal of the day. I love the flavours and make sure to add plenty of grated lime peel.

Seedy crackers – for your hormones :-)
Flaxseeds and other seeds are very good for female hormonal balance and generally help you feel better. This is a great way of adding them to your diet. The crackers can be made plain or add herbs and spices as you like. You can put any spread on or simply a bit of butter.
They are gluten-free and dairy-free.
Kimchi
This recipe is inspired by attending a fermentation workshop with Trish Dent. Fermenting foods is a way of preserving foods but also a way of converting starches and sugars into lactic acid by Lactobacilli bacteria (good bacteria) and inhibiting bad bacteria. This helps promote a healthy intestinal flora.
