What could be more lovely at Christmas than a bountiful table, laid with heart warming food, maybe some mulled wine or Prosecco, and decorative crackers and Christmas foliage? With the weather stubbornly dragging its cold wind these days, it's an opportunity to get creative and festive. It helps to plan a little in advance for the big day of your celebration in the coming weeks.

Christmas Is Coming

2020-04-30T10:50:07+01:00

It's already that time of year again. Autumn came and went so soon. The past week, we can all agree, has been a significant degree colder reminding us that it's time to bring out the winter gear, and get ready for the holiday season - A cold Christmas is coming.

Warm Comfort

2020-04-30T10:50:07+01:00

Which would you say are the foods that bring you warm comfort in the winter? And how do you cook them, if you do?

The vegetable or plant food brings the best comfort in terms of calmness, alertness, and overall well being to the body. But a vegetable on its own doesn't do the trick, it is what complements it, what balances its taste and aroma. There are plenty of ways one [...]

Christmas Seasonal Menu

This year, we want to create a space for you that you can relish for calmness and reflection. It was Winston Churchill who said "Christmas is a season not only [...]

Naturally Green

2020-04-30T10:50:30+01:00

There is something strangely compelling about the power of green in our meals. Our bodies seem to miss it when we don't get enough of it. Naturally green foods have a connection with nature and with us living beings. These foods being high in chlorophyll also facilitate the detoxifying of toxins in our systems and therefore our bodies know when we need a healthy dose of greens, in turn making us very attracted to these plant foods. Greens can be difficult to chew and consume as they are rich in nutrients and vitamins. At Naturally Chinese we understand the art to [...]
