January is the 'diet' month - full of strong resolve and determination to shift a few pounds and maintain a healthier diet. Have a look at what is readily available - in season - and start cooking up some low-fat dishes.

December is a busy month and with so much preparation happening around the festive season it is easy to forget what is readily available - in season - as well as all the exotic produce being flown in for the holidays.

A seasonal artisan dairy twist to the most traditional of Christmas desserts, Brown Cow Organics have introduced a Christmas pudding live organic yoghurt into their individual 155ml pot range of live yoghurt flavours for the 2011 Christmas season. All their yoghurts are hand processed using their Guernsey herd born, bred and grazed organic whole milk; this process produces naturally thick rich yoghurt so does not need added emulsifiers, stabilisers or thickeners. The yoghurt is then hand poured into recyclable re-usable pots and lids - in keeping with their packaging ethos.

November is a great month to start trying out some new recipes and look at different ways to cook with the fruits and vegetables that are still in season. Find out what is available this month.

With November nipping at October's heel it is obvious in some parts of the UK that Autumn has very much arrived and Winter is on its way. The first morning frosts this week - firmly iced onto many a windscreen - have signalled the need to stock up on some real winter warmers and hearty dishes to welcome us home at the end of the day. If like us you prefer to try to eat with the seasons, yet you are becoming bored with the same tired menu then we have a real treat in store.

Eggs are a good source of protein, but it's important to store, handle and prepare them properly. Eggs are a good choice as part of a healthy, balanced diet. As well as being a source of protein, they also contain vitamins and minerals.
