Tina's KITCHEN
Tina's Kitchen is a 'show and tell' nutrition cafe offering lunch three days a week so you can see and experience how nutrient dense, carefully thought out food tastes and looks. Then, if you're interested, I can tell you what to do, why to do it and show you how to do it, through courses and workshops. I create food to help you have a good afternoon and avoid the slumps and cravings. All the food fits my nutritional guidelines, so all ingredients except meat and fish are organic (they come from local farmers and the fish stall at the Friday Market), the food is nutrient dense and relatively low carbohydrate and everything is gluten free. I also supply a carefully chosen range of health foods and good quality supplements, including Wild Nutrition.
My nutritional ‘mission’ is to give you food which tastes good and does you good, simple as that.
By doing this I hope I will encourage you to think more about what you eat, notice how it affects you, and inspire you to want to know more.
My view is that when we feed ourselves well, with enough protein, good quality fats and plenty of vegetables, we ‘need’ less sweet foods and empty foods.
Here are some of the things I do to make sure that my food is as healthy as possible and helps to make you feel good:
o Vegetables, especially greens, are included in just about everything I make, helping you to reach your 5-a-day and more.
o Protein features in all the meals because eating enough protein has so many benefits including blood sugar balancing and weight control.
o Herbs and spices all add nutritional value.
o The pith and peel of whole (organic) lemons and limes are used as they contain important and valuable antioxidants.
o Only olive oil, coconut oil, butter and animal fat are used, not vegetable and sunflower oils which can contribute to inflammation in the body.
o Meat soups/stews are often made with a home made bone broth and always include pulses, increasing the nutrient value further.
o Packaging is made from cornstarch, which is compostable and doesn’t leach chemicals into your food. This comes from a company called Vegware.
My suppliers are:
o Ashurst Organics, Plumpton (locally grown organic veg)
o High Weald Dairy (local organic sheeps, goats and cows cheese)
o Harvest Supples, Hartfield (organic veg, fruit and dairy)
o Orchard Eggs, Forest Row (organic eggs)
o Chris Veasey & Sons, Forest Row (fish, sustainably fished and locally sourced as much as possible)
o Bluebell Farm, Arlington (Chicken, beef, lamb, additive free and raised with care and attention)
o Infinity Foods (dry goods, pulses, nuts, seeds etc)
