What's Happening, When and Where?
​
​I’m hosting a Christmas Magic evening. It'll be fun, festive, informal and informative.
​
I’ll do a bit of cooking, but so will you, and I’ll be sharing all the latest research on what has been voted the Number One healthy diet in the world for 6 years running.
​
Just to get us in the mood there'll be loads of lovely smells of cinnamon, nutmeg, orange, cloves and mixed spices in my mulled wineless wine. Sweet and savoury festive nibbles to try out and full recipe pack as a follow up to the event.. You'll have ideas for foodie festive gifts, and recipes to try out in time for Santa's arrival.
Of course I won't miss the opportunity to give you loads of nutritional tips so you can feel your best over the festive season.
And a gift to take home a pack of my Christmas
Porridge Bread Mix for you to bake at home.
You will love it.

“I attended Janice's a Taste of Christmas event enjoyed it so much. The tasters of food and drink available to sample were delicious and the presentation on healthy eating and what our bodies need nutritionally, especially over Christmas, was invaluable. I brought my friend along and we had a great wee night out. The booklet of recipes and the mix to take home and make the Christmas Porridge Bread was very much appreciated. Thank you, Janice, for a fab fun festive and informative evening.”
“Janice’s cooking demonstration and healthy eating session for our group was amazing, fun but so much information. It was normal food made healthy and easy. No fancy ingredients, just stuff from local supermarkets.
We were all inspired and motivated and the recipe handouts were a wee bonus as were the laughs.”
