Gurpareet Bains created and produced the ‘Worlds Healthiest Meal’ in 2009, and immediately hit the international spotlight. This was a simple Chicken Curry with Blueberries and Goji Berry Pilau, all of which contained the antioxidant-equivalent of 23 bunches of grapes – this is definitely one to try! And now, just in time for Christmas, he has published his debut recipe book - Indian Superfood. Already a no.1 bestseller, this recipe book is guaranteed to make a fantastic gift for all foodie enthusiasts.
He has used information, researched from the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), finding that nearly ¼ of the top antioxidant-rich foods available to us are, in fact, spices. He combines these spices in abundance with nutrient-dense vegetables, fruits, low-fat proteins and nuts – widely known as superfoods – to create Indian Superfood, a collection of the world’s most antioxidising recipes.
It’s no surprising that Gurpareet has a hug celebrity fan base, including Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Goldie Hawn, Dame Vivienne Westwood, Chris Evans and many more. His food is delicious, beautiful, has an incredible flare and makes you feel good!
With 216 pages in this recipe book Indian Superfood, there are plenty of recipes to tantalise your taste buds. There are 7 sections in total, giving you ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner, side dishes, light bites, cocktails and refreshments and of course sweets. The recipes are fairly easy to follow and you honestly don’t have to be a master chef to accomplish the perfect dish.
If I was to use Gurpareet’s recipes throughout the day, here would be a menu of my choice:-
Breakfast – Ginger-infused yogurt with honey and pomegranate.
Lunch – Salmon and sweet potato fishcakes.
Dinner – Best ever chicken tikka masala, with a side of foolproof pilau and naan.
Dessert – Indian spotted dick with goji berries and toasted almonds.
Mmmmmm, I’m hungry after just writing that! His work is astounding, and knowing that you get nothing but good from eating Indian Food is amazing! As Gurpareet Bain says – “Superfood + Superspices = Indian Superfood”!
You can purchase this wonderful book from Amazon for only £9.09 – click HERE for more details.

And now for the ladies! K-Swiss have lots of great running trainers that would be great for the sporty woman in your life. I adore the Blade Max Trail as they perform wonderfully. They are an off road trail running shoe designed to provide cushioning and stability.

They look great with jeans, and even though some people might be put off by the colour, I think they look fab!

I would like to introduce you to the AirFryer from Philips…It’s time to ditch your deep fat fryer for good.
A new healthy way to ‘fry’ food, the Philips AirFryer has become the most useful tool for Slimming World users. You could eat a bucket load of home made chips and still remain syn free.
The AirFryer uses patented Rapid Air technology to ‘fry’ food without adding extra oil but achieving the same crunchy result.
For Syn Free Slimming World chips, just slice potatoes and add to AirFryer. Use a cooking oil spray like frylite and wait for perfectly cooked, HEALTHY chips!
For Slimming World users and for anyone who wants to eat healthy, this is a revolutionary product. In our society which is trending to the obese, this is possibly the most important new product for the kitchen in recent times.
As well as being high performing, The AirFryer is a good looking gadget too. Sleek and subtle, this will fit right into your kitchen and right into your lives.
In addition to cooking great tasting syn free chips, the AirFryer is capable of cooking lots of different food, even things like tempura prawns. Of course, all the food is cooked a lot more healthier than any other possible form.
I have to say that sausages also work really well too! No flipping, just throw them in and turn on the timer.
The Philips AirFryer is available from electrical retailers including Argos, Amazon and Ideal World.
It is my pleasure to introduce our readers to the new British beauty product to ease all winter ills, from itchy, dry skin through to chapped lips. Sounds good! Not only can this wonder product do all this, but, mixed with hot water, you can even drink it as a sore throat-soothing tipple! Wow, now this I like the sound of.
The product is called Móa and is 100% natural and organic. This litte pot is bursting with organic yarrow and a medley of other naturally delectable goodies. The uses and benefit of this are endless, and could well be the miracle pot of winter!
Móa’s astonishingly versatile formulation soothes, nourishes and renews itchy, dry skin conditions; fades stretch marks after pregnancy; treats bumps, bites and grazes in an instant and works wonders as an aftershave balm or facial cleanser. Kiss goodbye to chapped lips and cold sores, and seek solace from that dreaded sore throat with a spoonful dissolved in water.
With no nasties or fillers, just overflowing with lovely, wholesome natural ingredients that are suitable for the whole family, even those with the most sensitive of skin, Móa blends the healing properties of organic yarrow with tea tree oil (nature’s most powerful antiseptic), beeswax, and the oils of coconut, sweet almond and soya bean to help nurture and protect.
A whole lot of goodness is crammed into one small pot, but a little really does go a long way! Personally, I use it myself as well as my boys – a wonder balm is an understatement for this little pot.
Móa – The Green Balm costs £9.99 for 50ml and £4.99 for Mini Móa, the 15ml handbag sized version, and is available from all good health food stores. For further information and to buy online, visit http://www.thegreenbalm.com.
