Anthocyanins - anti-tumour activity? The red and purple pigmented flavonoids in fruits and vegetables are known and proven to be cardioprotective. In vivo studies have also shown they inhibit gastrointestinal cancers, and topically applied - can inhibit skin cancer.

Malignant cancer cells display uncontrollable growth, seemingly able to ignore the body’s normal apoptosis signals, whereby old or diseased cells die to give way to new healthy cells. However, Anthocyanins have been shown in vitro to induce apoptosis of cancer cells, via multiple signal pathways. More epidemiological human studies are needed to confirm and validate their anti-cancer effect.

But hey - it’s Sunday, more time to indulge in a delicious breakfast like this whilst reading the papers, safe in the knowledge that berries are seriously good for you! 🤗

Enjoy the bank holiday!

COURGETTE ?!?!
You’d never guess - and along with ground almonds, pistachios (processed to a coarse flour), and coconut, it’s nutrient-rich, with protein that moderates the blood sugar response, way to go! 🙌

Did you know . . . Pistachios are one of the most vitamin B6-rich foods you can eat? Needed for the healthy formation of haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in our red blood cells.

So, loving this Pistachio Macaron cake - so easy to make, from the Ottolenghi test kitchen book. Yes - ok - you need a blender/processor to turn pistachios into a coarse flour, but once done you simply fold them (with some ground almonds) into a whisked egg/sugar mixture. The poached apricots in elderflower cordial was THE perfect accompaniment, and a delicious way to see in the New Year, 💃🍾😋 Here’s to 2024, let’s hope it’s a good one 🤗

Kids are back for Christmas so baking begins! Banana bread - one with chocolate drops, one with chopped walnuts - is an absolute must, and disappears faster than I can bake another one, so I always make a pair 🤣

Merry Christmas everyone, enjoy your festive holidays wherever you are, see you in 2024 🤗🥳
