description: You may have seen this herb recommended for reducing anxiety and stress and improving focus, sleep and immunity – but can a supplement really provide all these benefits? Our expert nutritionist hunts out the best options
encoded: Ashwagandha, or Indian ginseng, is a powerful adaptogen that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 4,000 years. Adaptogens like ashwagandha help the body manage stress by targeting cortisol, the stress hormone, promoting balance and calm. Renowned for its versatility, ashwagandha supports both mental and physical well-being. It is celebrated for reducing stress and anxiety, improving sleep and enhancing mood. Additionally, it boosts cognitive function, aiding memory and attention, and combats physical exhaustion, making it a valuable supplement for those with busy lifestyles or athletes seeking performance support. Beyond stress relief, ashwagandha benefits overall health by regulating blood sugar and lipid metabolism, bolstering immune function and improving energy levels and stamina. Its ability to relax the nervous system makes it a natural choice for fostering calm and reducing insomnia.

description: Hormonal changes leading up to menopause can result in a range of symptoms. Our expert nutritionist looks into which supplements might help
encoded: This review was originally written by Katy Bradbury, but subsequent additions may be added by the Good Food team. Perimenopause, the time leading up to the menopause (defined as a year after a person’s last menstrual period), usually refers to the time when cycles start becoming disrupted in the years preceding the menopause. Should I take a perimenopause supplement? Many people transition through the menopausal years with no issues and minimal symptoms. However, for those who do experience some of the very wide range of symptoms, there are some supplements that may complement lifestyle changes such as eating a nutrient dense diet, getting regular movement (particularly strength training), managing stress and prioritising sleep. Sponsored by Wild Nutrition Make a fresh start this January with 50% off perimenopause supplements at Wild Nutrition It's that time of year when we start to rethink how to take better care of ourselves – whether that’s a refresh of routine or trying a new health supplement.

description: Achieve the perfect fried egg with a crispy bottom and runny yolk. Simple yet satisfying, it can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes from breakfast to dinner.
encoded: Fried eggs are an essential part of so many cuisines. Just consider a full English breakfast – it really isn’t the same with scrambled or poached. Further afield, a fried egg is de rigueur for a classic French croqué Madame, or a German schnitzel à la Holstein while, in exotic Indonesia, they are the crowning glory for nasi goreng. Cook with confidence Download the Good Food app to get full access to exclusive videos, plus handy tools like cook mode, timers and stay awake settings. Get 3 months for 99p Sunny-side up, a fried egg will cheer up a salad and go equally well with different grains and lentils. They are an excellent takeaway food slotted into burgers, pitta bread, bacon sarnies and Indian naan or roti, if you so desire. Your only decision is whether to cook them with a softly set white and just cooked yolk (see below), a frill of crispness around the edge (turn the heat up when cooking them) or over-easy (flipped to make sure the white is fully cooked). The yolk should always be soft. Choose the freshest eggs and note that hens' eggs are slightly easier to cook than ducks' eggs. The fresher an egg, the stronger the proteins are in the white, which means the egg will form into a neater shape in the frying pan. Old eggs will spread out very thinly. You can fry an egg in any fat but choose one that will give you the flavour you want. For example, at breakfast you might use the bacon fat left in the pan or a knob of butter. If adding the egg to a rich dish, olive or rapeseed oil may work better, while for nasi goreng or dhal you may like the hint of coconut that comes from using coconut oil. Next, find out how to make hard boiled eggs, how to poach an egg and how to make scrambled eggs (as well as how to make scrambled eggs in the microwave).

description: Find out how best to prepare, cook and carve prime rib with our step-by-step guide, plus expert cookery tips, technique video and recipe ideas
encoded: Try our easy cooking method for roasting prime rib to perfection, complete with caramelized carrots and rich gravy, for the perfect Sunday roast. To serve six people you will need a prime rib weighing 6-7lbs. How to prepare and roast prime rib Take the beef out of the refrigerator 2-3 hrs before you cook it. Season the joint with the crushed pepper and salt or a flavoring of your choice. Press onto the fat and flesh to evenly coat. Roast for 20 mins at 425°F (gas 7), then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (gas 4). Cook for 20 mins per 1lb for medium/15 mins per 1lb for rare. If you have a meat thermometer, the core temperature should be 131°F for rare, 149°F for medium and 167°F for well done (bear in mind that the beef will keep cooking and the temperature will continue to rise slightly as it sits). Rest the meat for 15-30 mins in a warm place, covered with foil. Carve the joint into slices to serve. There will be meat attached to the bones, so slice the meat neatly away from the rack of bones by running your knife downwards, following the bones to release the meat. Either cut the meat away from in between the bones or separate the bones, leaving some meat on each. Tip: Resting meat will make it more tender and juicy as it allows the juices to reabsorb evenly through the meat after cooking. Put your joint on a warm plate and cover it loosely. Set aside for 15-30 mins before carving. Want even more advice and troubleshooting expertise?

Truffle & wild mushroom camembert This chunky, savoury creation is as rich as it sounds. The wild mushrooms lend a wonderful umami flavour we find irresistible. To make, put a whole camembert on a baking sheet in its box. Make 3-4 slits and drizzle over some truffle oil. Bake until the cheese is oozing and top with cooked wild mushrooms and garlic. For more umami goodness, serve alongside our mushroom pâté. 2. Candied bacon & pickled chestnuts Brush streaky bacon on both sides with maple syrup, grill until just cooked, then roughly chop.

Cook until the cheese is melting. Try more of our chestnut recipes here. 3. Antipasti Try an Italian twist. Make a few slits in the top of a whole camembert.

encoded: If you're into your fitness, you've probably heard of creatine. It's naturally found in the body, and in foods like meat and fish. It helps regenerate ATP, the molecule that powers high-intensity physical activity. For those engaged in sports or resistance training, creatine can improve performance, boost recovery and support strength development. The effects of creatine have been extensively researched and while athletes often use it to enhance muscle growth or endurance, it’s also beneficial for general energy metabolism. Available in powders, capsules and tablets, creatine monohydrate is the most studied and cost-effective form. Innovations like capsules and micronised powders offer added convenience. A daily dose of 3-5 grams is sufficient for most users. Pairing creatine with carbs or protein can enhance absorption, though timing relative to workouts remains debated. Affordable, safe and effective, creatine is a staple in sports nutrition (it's the only one allowed in competitive sport). Whether you're an athlete or casual gym-goer, it’s a brilliant way to elevate performance and recovery. Sponsored by Natures Zest Elevate your performance with Natures Zest Creatine is one of the most researched supplements for supporting energy, strength and endurance. Natures Zest offers creatine with complementary formulas to help you get the most from your workouts, all crafted to premium standards and backed by rigorous third-party testing.
