Salt and sugar aren’t the weightier way to make meals tasty; filling them with healthy, seasonal flavours is unchangingly better.

It’s well-known for its healing powers, which is no bad thing with the onset of unprepossessed and flu season! It contains a natural chemical tabbed allicin, which reacts with thoroughbred to skiver harmful yes-man and viruses, plus overgrowth of a gut slime linked with acne and other skin conditions. It moreover contains a combination of antioxidants and has antitoxin and antifungal properties, helping to purify blood, strengthen our immune system and uplift circulation . Weightier of all, it tastes delicious! One of the tastiest (and most comforting) ways to enjoy garlic this season is to make a roasted garlic spread. It’s so much simpler than it sounds, and once you’ve washed-up it once you’ll be veritably addicted! Treat yourself to some fresh sourdough to spread it on or add it to dishes for a gorgeous volitional to butter. Here’s my super simple roasted garlic spread recipe.
