Doctor’s Kitchen Spices tips !

If you know my recipes, you know i love a bit of spice. They jazz up plant focused meals and turn ordinary ingredients into spectacular centre pieces. From a medicinal point of view, they’re concentrated sources of micronutrients, plus plant chemicals that contribute to the inflammation balancing impact of your overall diet.

1. Invest in spices. Often we skimp on spices, but you want to choose the ones with the strongest flavour and most vibrant colour. Try and shop from independents that know their stuff and I hear @mallikabasu_ has some great ones 🙌🏽

2. Go whole. Whole spices in their Seed form degrade slower than ground, which have a greater surface area and thus more contact with air that oxidises them and turns them off quicker.

3. Lightly toast. Toast them in a dry pan to encourage their natural oils to come out and maximise their flavour.

4. Spice wheel. Look up a spice wheel image if you’re unsure about pairings between aromatic, earthy, sweet and hotter spice varieties.

Don’t take it too seriously. Obviously I still use ground spices every now and then and break these tips depending on the recipe. But these are suggestions that will help you get the most flavour and nutritional value out of spices in the kitchen 👌🏼 share them with your friends and send me more spice tips below! 👇🏼👇🏼

Ps. This mixture is my go to for a curry base. Curry leaves or makrut lime leaves, red chilli powder, cinnamon, coriander, cumin seed, turmeric, amchur (dried sour mango)
Toast these spices, add coconut oil, onions, garlic and ginger. Then mix in chopped tomatoes and simmer to create a simple aromatic curry base 👍🏼

It pains me to have to have this conversation in t

It pains me to have to have this conversation in the middle of a pandemic, which is stress inducing enough. But I’ve been waiting patiently for the right time to discuss this topic and unfortunately it seems that there will never be a convenient opportunity to bring this issue to light. Nonetheless it’s something we need to discuss now and start taking steps to address today .. and rapidly. It’s a subject that crosses Food, Medicine, Agriculture, the Environment and more.

What if I was to say that in a few years to come, antibiotics will no longer work? And a simple cut could leave you hugely at risk of sepsis and death. This could be the situation unless we address resistant microbes in our environment which is a situation that currently takes almost a million lives each year. But that number threatens to ballon TEN times in the next couple of decades unless we do something today.

Joining me first on the podcast to talk about this subject that encompasses is Professor Dame Sally Davies. Dame Sally was the Chief Medical Officer for England and Senior Medical Advisor to the UK Government from 2011-2019 and was appointed as the UK Government’s Special Envoy on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in 2019. She is also the 40th Master of Trinity College, Cambridge University.

In the 2020 New Year Honours, Dame Sally became the second woman (and the first outside the Royal family) to be appointed Dame Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath (GCB) for services to public health and research, having received her DBE in 2009.

On the show we talk about

* Dame Sally Davies incredible medical career
* What sparked her interest in antimicrobial resistance
* How Bacteria become resistant
* Where food has a role in resistance
* What we can do as consumers? 
and plenty more.
We have a series of guests discussing this hugely important and relevant topic over the next few weeks and I hope you take the time to listen and take action today.

Ramen with soft poached egg and hoisin glazed tempeh 👌🏼

No word of a lie. I have this for breakfast when I’m working from home. I have a similar ramen recipe in my latest book 😉

What’s the most ‘unusual’ breakfast you have?
