7.30am After a sleep-in, I have a strong coffee and orange crΓͺpes and double cream made by my wife, Crystal.
11.30am We decide to go to a nearby pΓ’tisserie for beef brisket pies with salad. Another coffee for me.
4.50pm My kids, Elle and Henry, help me make βgreen pastaβ β normal pasta dough with blanched cavolo nero blitzed through it. We eat it with a simple pecorino sauce, garlic and extra cavolo nero. Crystal and I add anchovies to ours.
8pm After the kids are asleep, I prep a curry. Crystal and I have a glass of pinot and raid our βcheese drawerβ for little chunks of gruyΓ¨re and roquefort which we eat with sliced apple and some crackers. We finish with a chocolate frog.

Top marks for⦠Cooking from scratch and planning ahead, ensuring your family is eating mostly whole foods. The kids are also learning valuable kitchen skills, while shared meals at the table role model healthy eating into a fun family routine. I especially love the addition of cavolo nero to pasta, giving a fabulous nutrient boost.
If you keep eating this youβllβ¦ Benefit from the range of vegetables and the calcium, iodine and umami punch in your anchovies and cheese. But the double cream, pastries and cheese-and-chocolate combo push up your intake of saturated fats. This is associated with weight gain, especially when eaten late in the day.
