I have a guest joining me this week - Milly Fyfe, a passionate advocate for food education and sustainability. Milly shares her journey as a farmer's wife and social entrepreneur and the work she does in connecting families with locally sourced, whole foods. Through her community interest company, she runs workshops that educate children and families about the farm-to-fork journey and seasonal produce. Milly discusses the challenges we face in meal preparation and the convenience of frozen vegetables, while also highlighting the positive impact her workshops have on participants' understanding of food.

Overwhelm in the kitchen is a common experience. I revisit the theme of kitchen overwhelm and how to manage it effectively. I feel it is important to recognise pressure points in meal prep so this episode offers practical solutions to ease the cooking process. By reframing success in the kitchen and utilising available tools, we can reduce stress and create a more enjoyable cooking experience.
