In the Christmas kitchen with Sam and Geoff - December 2020

27 minutes

This is the first Christmas 2020 episode of the Penny's Hill Practice Podcast.

In this episode, Dr Geoff Hamp and Dr Sam McGinley are in their kitchens and are cooking up some healthier christmas treats! After our popular episode on low fat diets (click here to hear that one) we have decided to see if we can make the traditional christmas treats just a little healthier!

With help from the British Heart Foundation and from Diabetes UK, join Sam and Geoff as they don their aprons, preheat their ovens, grease their tins and get baking.

If you want to give Geoff's recipe a go, then have a look at the British Heart Foundation website here but you will also find more recipe ideas here too.

However, if you want to give Sam's recipe a go, then have a look at the Diabetes UK website here but you will also find some more recipe ideas here too.

Pictures are available to see on our website here www.pennyshillpractice.co.uk/news.

If you want to try some of the recipes the team from Sorted Food gave us, then click the links below:

Sautéed sprouts which could be steamed instead of sautéed once shredded and then tossed with dried fruit, nuts, seasoning and a splash of cider vinegar before serving

Braised and spiced red cabbage - leave out the sugar and rely on the wonderful natural sugars in the orange juice and cider

Roast potatoes - a wonderful crunch comes from polenta instead of excessive fat when cooking and these are amazing if fresh herbs are tossed in at the end

Roasted roots and without too much oil and no honey, the natural sugars will bring out sweetness once roasted and will taste extra special if you toss them in a little wholegrain mustard

If you have any suggestions for topics you would like covered, email them to [email protected] and put the word "Podcast" as your subject, or leave us a message at https://anchor.fm/pennyshillpractice/message

As always, stay safe, stay well and look after each other.
