Mindful Chef<\/a><\/strong> was born in the summer of 2014 while working on a friend\u2019s fishing boat, the Compass Rose, off the East Devon Coast. As we watched local fisherman sell their fresh fish to villagers on the very day it was caught, it opened our eyes to how food should be enjoyed: fresh, sustainable and most importantly, delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From that moment we set out on a mission to make Healthy Eating Easy across the nation. Thank you for your support – none of this would be possible without you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are just a few of our Myles-stones (see what we did there!)<\/strong>…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
