Food, care and finding a way forward.
This collection grows out of my experience of heart surgery and a difficult recovery. Creating meals for myself was about looking after my heart and body—not eating perfectly.
My own recovery meals are the reason for this space. Any illustrative recipe ideas are clearly labelled, so they aren’t mistaken for meals from my personal experience.

Lamb Chops, Mash and Mediterranean Veg
An easy but hearty (no pun intended) meal.

A note on what I share
I’m not a dietician. These pages share personal experience, not medical or dietary advice. A meal that felt safe for me may not suit someone else. Follow your care team’s guidance about ingredients, portions and any dietary restrictions during recovery.
