Lockdown has forced most of us to do all our cooking at home and (if you’re anything like us) after producing endless meals for a not-always-appreciative audience, your creative cooking juices may have somewhat dried up. From finding a recipe that the whole family will enjoy, to balancing nutritious goodness in the ingredients we use - sometimes all we need is inspiration.
To help us get more health benefits from our meals, The UK and Ireland Mushroom Producers have introduced vitamin D enriched mushrooms.
So we’re pleased to announce a Q&A aimed at culinary inspiration for a healthy meal with nutritionist and best-selling cookery writer, Madeleine Shaw.
Madeleine is working on the ‘Mushrooms are Magic’ campaign with The UK & Ireland Mushroom Producers - a partnership of mushroom farmers and growers who are enriching their ‘shrooms with Vitamin D.
Here’s what they have to say: “Vitamin D is essential in supporting a normal immune system, and plays a vital role in keeping our bones healthy, as it works to regulate our intake of calcium, magnesium and phosphorous. Current NHS advice is get 10 micrograms of Vitamin D daily; if you’re inside most of the day, you may not be getting enough of the sunshine vitamin from sunlight alone. Therefore, you can achieve your daily dose by eating eight medium-sized Vitamin D-enriched mushrooms that are available at all major supermarkets.”
Here’s more information about Madeleine Shaw: “Madeleine Shaw is a leading voice on the wellness scene as a nutritionist, cookery writer and a new mum.
Over the last five years she has transformed a simple food blog into a wellness community, inspiring content across her channels, helping her fans to 'get the glow' by taking a balanced and holistic approach to their health. Her delicious, fail-safe, recipes, combined with her nutritional knowledge and health tips, have meant she has become a go-to resource for hundreds of thousands of fans - in the UK and beyond.”
So if you have any questions around family cooking (or indeed glorious isolation cooking if that’s your thing), how to incorporate healthy ingredients like mushrooms into meals for fussy eaters, how to make good family meals on a budget, how to supercharge your cooking with key nutrients, or if you are keen to get an idea how to elevate your favourite mushroom recipe, this is the Q&A for you.
Ask your questions below by the 13th of July and you’ll be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £100 voucher for the store of their choice (from a list). We'll back at 3-4pm on 16th July to answer your questions.
Thanks and good luck with the prize draw!
