Pot chicken with pesto

Did you know cholesterol is actually a powerful antioxidant of the body, protecting us against cancer and free radical damage? Cholesterol is also essential in the manufacturing of our sex, growth and immune hormones, bile acid and vitamin D synthesis. Not quite the baddie it’s been made out to be.

For optimum health, choose quality sources of cholesterol from eggs, extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, nuts, seeds, avocado, butter, ghee, full fat dairy and organic animal stock. As well as good fats, chicken stock supplies us with many important nutrients like vitamins A and C. There must be a reason why almost all cultures include a chicken soup in their traditional cooking repertoire.

This recipe epitomises the nourishing autumn dish; a contemporary translation of an old favourite. Hopefully it makes you smile from the inside like it does for us.
