How much do you spend per week?
I’d say around £80. I do an Ocado delivery and then I visit my local farm shop and butcher for fresh veg, bread, meat, and cheese. It’s important to me to support local businesses.
Describe your daily diet...
My go-to breakfast is a flat white coffee and free-range scrambled eggs on a piece of toasted granary bread or sourdough. Sometimes I’ll add avocado on the side. Lunch is usually a good, hearty soup with a fresh chicken sandwich on granary bread, or if I’m at home, I’ll make stir-fry with rice and veg. Baked salmon with pesto, rice and roasted tomatoes is a classic dinner in our household.
Is there anything you refuse to eat?
I can’t stand offal! My mum once tricked me when I was younger into eating a steak and kidney pie, pretending it was steak and mushroom. It made me vomit and I’ve been scarred ever since!
What’s the strangest thing you’ve eaten?
When we last went to Sicily to visit my husband’s godfather, I ate barbecued tripe and intestines. It looks a bit like sausage, but it tastes very ofal-y! I ate it as I didn’t want to be rude and offend any of his Italian family – they all love it!
What would you cook to impress?
I love to cook one pot, hearty dishes that everyone can get stuck into while socialising, whether that be a Thai curry, Bolognese, or a Nasi Goreng. I also love to do a Sunday roast for my family.
Verdict
Nutritionist Juliette Kellow says, "It’s great that Anna shops locally. She needs to enjoy salami, chorizo and cheese in moderation, though, as these foods are high in saturated fat and salt. For healthier antipasti boards she could add tomatoes, unsalted nuts, grilled veg, rocket, beans or chickpeas drizzled with olive oil. It would also be good to see some more fruit and veg in Anna’s fridge.”
