  5. Chef's Tip - Jamie Grainger Smith comments: "It's easy to think that you can't make a difference on your own but by simply stopping to think before you eat and drink, you can! I've been working with Team Green Britain to show how simple changes such as looking at where your food comes from, eating what's in season or visiting a local butcher or deli can make your cooking more fun, more sustainable and even more delicious."

    This sounds really great as I have all the veg ingredients growing in my garden. One way I shall be adapting the recipe however is to cook the beetroot in my pressure cooker as it's not very green to run an oven at 200 for 40 mins just to cook 8 small beetroot.
