The medieval physician and scholar, Maimonides (the Rambam) counselled that to eat a healthier diet you must change your habits not just your food.
As twenty-first century food lovers, cooks, mothers and wives embarking on our own journey to cook and eat healthier food for ourselves and those we love, we have found this to be good advice. It also takes patience and determination, especially if there’s a sceptical spouse in the picture who likes their food “just the way it is, thank you very much,” or kids with a “nosh” habit and disdain for all things vegetable other than chips and roasties.
