- kids cookery classes – hosted by dedicated kids entertainer Pirate of the Carob Bean Captain James Tea Cook, these classes are always a thrill and work like a treat in getting the kids to learn about healthy eating.

Because my dad likes these kind of things so would be amazing to take him 🙂
Myself and my mother in law love veggies, this would be ideal for getting in her good books! 🙂
Hubby has recently switched to a vegan lifestyle (from a vegetarian one) and me and the boys are giving it serious thought. It would be great to get some insight into everything vegan to help us make the switch. Oh and we live in Bristol so perfect!
Trying a lifestyle change
I’ve been a veggie since I was 9 …so ermm 32 years >.< and things have changed so much, there's so much more choice now – hubby and kids are meat eaters but are always open to the veggie food if it looks and tastes good!
