People sometimes say that it's cheaper to give their kids a couple of pounds to get themselves a burger or pizza. I don't mind people doing that, but not every night. It's like everything in life, you've got to get the balance right.

Your skin and hair feel good, you sleep better and you start feeling so much better about yourself when you start eating properly.

Cooking is a life skill. We need to eat every day so why not find out about what you're putting into your body?

One of the key things is to encourage people to have a go in the kitchen and not to be embarrassed by it. Try and spend a couple of nights a week cooking something up. It doesn't have to be complicated, it can be something really simple.
