Investing in an edible garden could also be an investment in your health Angela Schaefer (Functional Medicine Health Coach) Debby Laatz (Prue Leith | Head of Academics) Werner Spohr (Prue Leith | Head Chef) In the time of Covid-19 the world has been reminded that investing in one's health is crucial. With spring in the air, we look at planting edible gardens, not only to increase fruit and vegetable consumption needed for good health, but also for chefs to run more sustainable kitchens. We discuss the requirements for a strong immune system, the reasoning behind eating a rainbow of vegetables and how to plant your own in a kitchen garden. We also talk about the benefits of the trendy plant based diet and share some thoughts on how chefs can shift the balance on plates to focus on vegetables rather than meat.
