This astonishing project was undertaken during the pandemic, with weekly meetings via Zoom to ‘share progress, issues and perhaps a small glass of something’. Empowering and practical, Food for Life is nothing less than a new approach to how to eat - for our health and the health of the planet. We're always happy to answer any questions or queries you might have, please get in touch using one of the methods below.The Royal British Legion is the nation’s largest armed forces charity and worked since 1921 to support the armed forces and their families. A portion of the sale from every copy of Cooking with Heroes will help raise funds to ensure that the legion continues doing the amazing work they have been doing successfully for the past century. Official Book Launch Party A) We sent members of today’s Military Family to engage with the RBL Membership. When I started the Project, these were supposed to be sit-down meetings in an RBL club, sharing stories of our service face to face with the Membership and as we say in the Armed Forces, ‘pull up a sandbag and swing a lantern’. The reality was sadly less engaging and fun with the majority of the engagements being over Zoom or old-fashioned telephones. Our team then took the chosen candidate and researched the individual before presenting the article to the editorial team. Recipes include vanilla cupcakes, whoopie pies, mini cheesecakes and chocolate layer cake. With tips on decorating, ideas for adapting recipes and lots of delicious toppings and fillings. We want you to say two words to all the misinformation around dieting, and they aren't 'I can't' or 'it's wrong', but instead, with a big smile on your face and with complete confidence, 'it's fine'.

A) I pulled together a team from the Military Family to engage with the RBL across the UK & Commonwealth… this was a Tri-Service Team of serving, veterans, reserves, friends, families and youth services. These became known as our RBL Ambassadors, a role that saw them engage with the RBL Membership in their region and to work with them to select a local hero or heroine who had ‘made a great contribution to UK Defence’ and that the RBL local Membership wanted to celebrate and represent them. The list is astonishing and whilst there are many well-known VC and MC winners in the Book, there are others much less well known like Captain John Perkins RN who was born a slave in Jamaica in the 18 th Century and rose to Captain a 32 Gun Naval Frigate; Sergeant Alfred Holmes from Gibraltar who looked after the Barbary Apes for 38 years; Sybil Kathagasu from Malaysia who gave her life standing up to the Japanese invaders during WW2 by supporting British SOE Agents and so many more amazing and courageous individuals who have been chosen as outstanding by the members of the UK’s largest Military Charity, so many of whom are veterans themselves… a wonderful mark of respect that I hope does their memory justice.
