Foundation Nutrition and Health
I have just been working on updating this book for Highfield.co.uk limited
It is a really useful and comprehensive book which works well for anyone wanting an overview of nutrition.
The book is perfect to accompany basic courses in nutrition.
It is quite easy to read but covers lots of information. Nutrition is very fast moving as regards research and up dates so there are lots of new items.

NHS Minor Ailment Scheme
Even though I have worked in the NHS for a number of years I did not know about this and it may help some people especially those on low incomes.
I am a Public Governor for Kettering General Hospital NHS Trust and the accident an emergency department is often full of people with more minor ailments which could be resolved by the pharmacist.
Basically if you don't pay for prescriptions (Under 16's do not) then you can request a 'PHARMACY FIRST CARD' from your GP receptionist.
This card entitles you to many free medicines without having to visit your doctor and obtain a prescription including; Liquid Paracetamol (calpol) and Sudocrem. Just take your card along to the pharmacy, explain the symptoms and the pharmacist will give you something to suit e.g. nappy rash, teething etc. There is no charge for this!
Schemes vary between locations, but the NHS Minor Ailment Scheme is for adults and children who:

BRITISH PIE WEEK
Did you know it is British pie week
I used to make pastry quite often but seldom make it these days. Lovely pies can be made and made "healthier" with lattice type tops, only using a top rather than a top and bottom to the apple or meat pie, using lots of fruit in the filling as well as keeping as a treat rather than every day.
You can also use some wholemeal flour in making the pastry to boost the fibre content.
Pie toppings can also be made with vegetables like mashed or sliced potatoes, mashed up vegetables like swede or carrots or even cauliflower
Here are some ideas for pies
