(UK) Nikki’s Healing Kitchen: Help is at hand

Let’s face it, we all want to strive to do better and get more fulfilment out of our lives. Most of us however don’t put enough time into the way we look at nutritious eating.

I’m from London myself and I know from experience that when you’re working long hours and not getting much time to relax it’s a puzzle on where to start. But don’t worry! Help is at hand, and it is easier than you think.

Meet Nikki, holistic health coach and natural foods chef. She turned around her life when she realised she wanted to feel and look better. After training at the world renowned Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts - a New York natural foods culinary program that not only taught her how to cook, but also how to use food to nourish and heal.

Walking along Broadway Market (East London) to the Holistic Health Centre I was feeling excited to meet some new faces and learn about Nikki’s philosophy. Downstairs we are all personally greeted warmly by Nikki. During the lecture it felt like a social gathering open for anyone to ask about their own food related issues — I loved that about the event.

“My approach is not to dwell on calories, carbs, fats, and proteins. It is not to create lists of restrictions or good and bad foods. Instead, I work with my clients to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and rewarding”.

Here are some of the scrumptious dishes she has created and recommended to us!:

Dandelion Salad with Warm Hazelnut Vinaigrette

Creamy Pumpkin Soup Topped with Curried Pecans

Ginger Halibut with Shredded Daikon Radish

Grilled Endive with Sage Vinaigrette

Chocolate Covered Pomegranate

This food for energy lecture was perfect for anyone who wanted to understand the fundamentals of wholefoods. I also got some really interesting facts out of it too, for example, did you know that eating an apple when your energy is low can give you the same boost (if not more) than a cup of coffee! Now there’s food for thought.
