welcome
Have you ever had the post-holiday blues? Well, I’ve got them! I’ve just touched down after a month-long honeymoon in Italy and Greece (and yes, it was just as fabulous as it sounds!). Beautiful beaches and quaint clifftop villages aside, food was of course an absolute highlight. And, just when I thought that I couldn’t possibly fit in another plate of pasta, slice of pizza or scoop of gelato, I somehow found the stomach space — as the saying goes, “when in Rome”! Here are a few things I learned during my culinary adventure: • A glug of extra-virgin olive oil brings salad and vegies to life (and we have solid science to support its many health benefits!) • Tomatoes taste infinitely better when served at room temperature.

Do as I do I struggle getting my 3-year-old and fussy 18-month-old to eat vegies. Your article ‘Fussy eater to foodie’ (Dec, 2018) explains that kids often follow their parents’ lead, so rather than quickly eating my meal so I can get ‘hands on’ during dinner, I now show them that I eat and enjoy my vegies. Brooke Ford, VIC Healthy chef Thank you for the article ‘Seven food hacks everyone should know’ (July, 2019). HFG has shown me that even when you think you know it all, there’s still something to learn about good cooking and to add to the daily kitchen routine. Who needs MasterChef … just bring on the even tastier home-cooked meals from HFG! Andrew Soklaridis, NSW Australian Healthy Food Guide @hfgaustralia #cookwithhfg hfgaustralia @HFGAustralia…
