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)
Tina’s Kitchen – Moving On!
I’m really excited to be telling you about the next phase of Tina’s Kitchen. Providing nutritious and delicious lunches for nearly five years has been a hugely rewarding experience and has given me the chance to talk about food and nutrition to lots of people, hopefully making small differences to their food choices and increasing understanding of how food can affect our health and wellbeing.
I’ve realised that what I love doing most is exactly that talking and sharing, showing and telling, and without a clone it’s not possible to do everything I want to do. So I’ve decided it’s time to move on. The shop will be closed and the last lunches served at the end of June.
Although closing this particular door is sad, and I will miss the little community which has developed over the years, the prospect of exploring the many different ‘doors’ I can open is hugely exciting and positive. I hope you will feel this too, and some of the ideas I have are:
Please let me know if there are any Tina’s Kitchen dishes you’d like to make, and if enough people are interested I will run workshops on these as well. My aim has always been to encourage people to make more good food themselves, so my cookbook and workshops are designed to do just this.
Course and workshop venues will vary, and one option will be that if you have a kitchen big enough to host 6-8 people and are happy to do so, you get the course or workshop free. Seeing clients for nutritional therapy can take place in clinic (I’ll be using the Soulfit therapy room) or at their homes so that I can help make it easier to eat well in your own space.
I’ll be taking a break over the summer and will keep you informed of plans and progress through my newsletter. If you are not already on the mailing list, please sign up on the home page of my website www.foodworks4u.co.uk. I will also post on Instagram @tinaskitchenlewes and periodically advertise in Viva Lewes. You can also, always, email me, tinadeubert@gmail.com to ask for an update.
In the meantime, I hope to see you in the next three months for lunch, which will continue as usual, along with the supplements and health foods in the shop.

- Talks and presentations
- Working with schools and other organisations
- Writing (articles and more books)
- Weight loss groups (first one in September)
- Cooking lessons – individual and groups
- Workshops
- Collaborations with other practitioners
- Nutrition in a Nutshell courses will continue
- Nutritional therapy and nutritional coaching
- Catering for health related events and retreats
- I’m open to suggestions!
