Two Food as Medicine Recipes
On Todd Caldecott’s blog Food as Medicine two recipes from his book Food as Medicine have recently been shared.
The first recipe is for Mexican Chicken Stew and the second is for Braised Persian Lamb Shanks. I’ve personally made the first recipe and can fully recommend it (I couldn’t find all of peppers unfortunately).
This is an important time to be eating stewed and nourishing foods, so for those of you who don’t have Todd’s excellent book do check out this blog.
