Advantages: Healthy food

Disadvantages: none

I have in the past taught on the subject of healthy eating and would like to share with you some of the recipes i used to demonstrate ( i cooked all of these in a 90 minute session so you know they're quick too)

The emphasis of these recipes is eating for health not weightloss and to help achieve the 5 a day goal
