Café au Chocolat has bought smiles to residents and visitors to Stamford with its French-style café in the heart of the town centre. It offers authentic French crêpes (gluten-free options available) with a choice of traditional sweet and savoury fi llings. There are a selection of carefully chosen coffee beans, ground in-house for you to take home or enjoy in the café with a slice of luxury chocolate or a delightful patisserie.

Wine of theof theof themonth

Ashley Clarke is Waitrose’s wine expert and he recommends this month’s wine to go with our chilli pasta with cod recipe Douglas Green Chardonnay £7.99

South African wines are becoming increasing popular, and for good reason too. This wine is everything needed for this dish which has both a light and heavy quality to it meaning the characteristics of melon and light citrus complement the cod and contrast the chilli. The slight oak on the palate provides a smooth encounter with the pasta and helps to bring about a very satisfying fi nish.

Look at this great way to keep your lunch cool and fresh, with this value-for-money storage container. Lakeland offers various sizes from 1.8 litres for only £5.99. It has an integral iceblock in the lid, which is placed in the freezer each night. The shop is located in Queensgate or you can buy online at lakeland.co.uk

Guest chef at PRCFaye Weatherburn, a former student at Peterborough Regional College, is the latest chef on a list of Guest Chef Evenings held at the Park Crescent Campus.

Faye studied for her VRQ Level 1 and 2 in Professional Cookery between 2009 and 2011, and then went on to complete a Diploma Level 3 Chef and Restaurant qualifi cation at the University of West London, which allowed her to specialise in pastry. She returned to the College recently to talk to current students and visitors about her experiences since leaving the College and why studying at PRC inspired her to become a pastry chef, including the nine weeks work experience she received at Sally

Ann’s Cakes in Somerset during her studies.

During her time at the University of West London she had two weeks’ work experience in the kitchen at Buckingham Palace and spent two years working as a pastry chef at the fi ve star Le Méridien Hotel, Piccadilly, London

Since March 2014 she has been working at the prestigious Ritz Hotel in central London.

Did you know?

This simple dish makes a perfect supper with the tomato sauce packing a Mediterranean fl avour

Cod in tomato sauce

Cod in tomato sauceRECIPE

Method1. To make the tomato sauce – gently fry the onions and garlic in a few

tablespoons of olive oil for about 20 minutes until lightly golden and melted.

2. Add the passata, tomato and chilli, and continue to cook until the sauce has thickened leaving a rich sauce.

3. In a separate hot pan, place the slightly oiled cod fi llets to seal the fl esh. Once both sides of the fi llets have been sealed gently add them to the tomato sauce making sure each piece is completely submerged.

4. Cook the gnocchi in plenty of boiling salted water until they fl oat to the surface. Drain them and serve into bowls.

5. Gently lift out the cod and place on top of the gnocchi with plenty of sauce.

● Add fresh chillies and chilli powder at the start of the cooking process to allow the fl avour to develop and the heat to diffuse.

● Add chillies sparingly – you can always add more later.

Ingredients● 1 small onion, fi nely chopped● 1 clove garlic, fi nely chopped● olive oil● 200ml tomato passata● 400g can chopped tomato● 1 mild fresh red chilli,

fi nely chopped● 4 x cod steaks● salt and black pepper● 200g ready-prepared potato

gnocchi● lemon juice● lemon juice

SWAP OUTS● Turn up the heat and add in a

hot chilli for a pungent bite ● Change the cod for pollock

or hake which are both sustainable options

● Not a fi sh fan? Swap for chicken. Slice hot cooked chicken, place on the gnocchi and spoon over the sauce

● Add in chunky cut vegetables like peppers, courgettes, mushrooms, baby corn or even olives to boost your fi ve-a-day

● Swap out the gnocchi for pasta to make this meal more of an everyday dish using cupboard ingredients

The hottest part of the chilli is the white placenta that

holds the seeds to the inside of the pod. So remove both the seeds and placenta to decrease the heat.

After a summer of barbecues, ice creams,

and general overindulgence, I thought it would be great to share my tips on staying motivated and getting back on track to a healthy lifestyle.

These are eight simple tips I live by when I feel my work schedule getting a bit busier, or I’m lacking that motivation I need.

1. Keep organised Meal prepping is the best way of making sure you don’t reach for unhealthier options at every chance. If you don’t have time to prep all of your meals, make it a priority to prepare in bulk things like rice, quinoa or sweet potatoes to save you time in the future. Another option is to double up on foods when cooking your lunches or dinners to avoid cooking an entire meal three times a day.

2. Set realistic goalsWriting everything down as a list ensures your goals are clearly set out in your head. You can even put down the smallest things so you feel productive when you cross them off.

3. Keep exercises simple A 20-minute HIIT (high intensity interval training) workout is perfect for those of you with busy schedules. I like to do 30 seconds of fl at out sprinting followed by a 30 second break. This really gets your heart racing and it burns fat fast.

4. Drink at least two litres of water a day This isn’t only important when you’re exercising, but it also keeps your metabolism running

Lucy Bee reveals her tips to keep motivated after a summer of indulgence

BackBackBackon trackon trackon trackon trackon trackon trackBackBackBackon trackBackBackBackon trackBackBackBackon trackBackBackBacksmoothly. A great way to spice up plain water is by adding fruit to infuse, such as mint, strawberries, lemon, cucumber or ginger.

5. Make time for yourself Part of the reason many people struggle with maintaining an exercise routine or healthy eating is because they think they have to sacrifi ce other enjoyments to make time for it. Make a note on your daily list to have some downtime. It will make your healthy living become cemented as a lifestyle rather than a short-lived pursuit.

6. Look for inspiration I love Instagram and blogs for recipe inspiration. If you’re having a creative block on dishes, it helps to spark ideas.

7. Invest a small amount of time in cooking If you enjoy cooking already, then it sometimes makes healthy eating a much easier process. However, if you’re not so fond of it, add to your list a small amount of time dedicated to preparing meals in advance.

8. Balance is key You don’t want to feel like you’re depriving yourself. So, I recommend trying to fi t in some greens at every meal and focus on getting the good stuff in fi rst. Then, if you are still hungry, you can enjoy your treats. I’ve found the good stuff will eventually replace the bad stuff in your life. Why not try some of these ideas and see how you get on!

There is a dedicated Sunday lunch menu with starters from £5 and roast beef, pork or chicken with all of the trimmings for only £10 plus children’s portions for £5.95.

The dessert menu includes dessert specials of white chocolate parfait and chocolate orange fondant and a selection of ice creams and sorbets.

The chilli plant is native to Central American regions where it has been the main spice ingredients in Mexican cuisine for

centuries. It was introduced to the rest of the world by Spanish and Portuguese explorers during the 16th and 17th centuries. The chilli is a fruit pod from the plant belonging to the nightshade family.

The hotness of chilli is measured in Scoville heat units (SHU). On the Scoville scale, a sweet bell pepper scores 0, a jalapeño pepper around 2,500-4,000 SHU, and a Mexican habañeros about 200,000 to 500,000 SHU.

The fi ery hotness of the pod comes from an active component of chillies – capsaicin. It is an irritant for mammals, including humans, and produces a sensation of burning in any tissue with which it comes into contact. However, capsaicin has anti-bacterial, anti-carcinogenic, analgesic and anti-diabetic properties. It also found to reduce LDL cholesterol levels.

In fact, chilli peppers contain an impressive list of plant-derived chemical compounds that are known to have disease preventing and health promoting properties and both red and green chillies are rich source of vitamins and minerals.

Families are complex things, and their needs are constantly

changing and adapting however there is one undeniable fact – every member of the family is getting older and as our parents age, it’s likely that they will need more help.

In most families, one child (often the youngest sibling) steps up to the plate and becomes the primary carer. So this diffi cult conversation starts with the question – is that going to be you or your spouse?

If it is then you need to instigate a conversation with your spouse, your siblings, and, of course, your parents. You should consider whether you are up for the inevitable challenges and strains that will arise? Do the rest of the family buy in to the changes that are suggested, the costs that may be associated and the potential for changes

Keep it in the familyKeep it in the familyKeep it in the family

to what they may inherit? What alternatives are there? What are the costs and implications?

Once the family are on the same page and everyone is agreed you need to make sure that you have the right paperwork in place, to back it up like an amended Will and Lasting Powers of Attorney. In addition, if a property is involved you may well need a Deed of Trust.

This diffi cult conversation involves the whole family and is important because it will save arguments and heartache later down the line.

If you need help and advice on a parent moving in call us on 01778 382723 and make an appointment today.

The rules around pensions have changed signifi cantly over

the last few years and will have a major impact both on how you save for retirement and access your money once you retire.

New pension rules introduced in April 2015 have given people far more choice over what they can do with their pension pots.

These new rules only apply to people in defi ned contribution schemes also called personal or workplace pensions where you build up your own pension pot.

You need to be 55 or over (or in very poor health) to access your pension pot.

In the past, for most people when you retired you could take up to 25% of your pot as tax-free cash and the rest had to be turned into a retirement income by buying an annuity.

There are several ways you can now use your pension pot:-

● Buy a guaranteed income for life – an annuity.

● Invest your pot in funds designed to provide you with a fl exible retirement income – called drawdown (the income is not guaranteed for life).

● Take small cash sums from your pot when you want them.

● Take all your pot as cash in one go.

● Mix the above options.

If you take cash, 25% of the withdrawal is tax-free (the other 75% is taxable). If you choose the annuity or drawdown options you can take up to 25% of the amount used for this option as tax-free cash. The rest is used to buy an annuity or goes into drawdown. You then pay tax on

the income you get from these.However, any cash you take

from your pension pot is added to the rest of your income for the year and you pay Income Tax on this in the usual way. If you take a large sum of cash you could push your income into a higher tax bracket and end up paying higher-rate or even additional-rate Income Tax on the lump sum. This increase in income may also mean you are no longer eligible for benefi ts you’re claiming.

You need to be careful when selecting your retirement options. Advice is essential so if you require help, contact our offi ce for a FREE initial consultation.Liberty PartnershipMarket Deeping PE6 8ALt: 01778 342291

Fifteen years ago the Deepings Community Centre opened its

doors and, incredibly, after all this time it is often still referred to as the old doctors’ surgery.

The centre took three years of work by a group of dedicated local people and since it opened in October 2000 it has continued to fl ourish despite no core funding. It really is a local centre venue, run by local people who are prepared to give up a few hours on a regular basis to ensure it runs smoothly.

But what does it offer? Well, the centre provides a huge range of activities from health clinics and fi tness classes to conference facilities and meeting rooms. There are various room hire options. A main hall can accommodate up to 80 people for private parties, groups, clubs or to run fi tness or dance classes. The learning room is set up for

with a session every Wednesday morning.

To fi nd out about everything on offer visit the centre where you will fi nd a wall of leafl ets in the reception area or go to deepingscommunitycentre.org.uk

The centre should be your fi rst point of call if there is anything you need to know about the locality. The centre is also the local information centre and the staff is very knowledgable.

So why not give them a home in someone else’s wardrobe, where hopefully they’ll get to see the light of day? You can pick something up for yourself too – everyone’s a winner!

independent businesses’.Donna Louise has

Let Inspirational Travel take you on a journey of discovery in India

There are not many countries where you could stay in a

former palace and receive fi rst-class service without breaking the bank, yet India offers all this and more with a range of luxurious and unique hotels at excellent value for money.

Due to its vast size, India has a range of climatic conditions. Generally speaking, from November to March, during the winter months, is the best time to visit.

10 NightsThis tour will take in the important cities of India and includes; Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur and Mumbai.

As with all our holidays at Inspirational Travel this is merely a suggested itinerary and we can tailor the holiday to suit your requirements.

You will start in the bustling metropolis of Delhi, which combines the ancient with the modern. A full-day city tour of Old and New Delhi, beginning with The magnifi cent Red Fort, overlooking the river Jamuna Jama Masjid, one of Asia’s largest mosques. Later visit Raj Ghat, Ghandi’s memorial, and drive past India Gate, the Parliament building and the President’s Residence, before visiting Qutab Minar, the tallest stone tower in India.

Travel by road to Agra. This was once the capital of the Mughal Emperors and lies on the banks of the River Yamuna. Visit Agra Fort, an outstanding example of Mughal architecture and the seat and stronghold of the Empire under successive

generations. Continue to Itmad-ud-Daulah (‘Baby Taj’), followed by a visit to the magnifi cent Taj Mahal and see this masterpiece at sunset and or sunrise.

Drive to Jaipur early morning to reach Jaipur in time for lunch. The vibrant 18th-century capital of Rajasthan is popularly known as the ‘Pink City’ because of the pink coloured buildings in its old city. The afternoon is at leisure to explore Jaipur, home to cultural delights and also a shopper’s paradise. Take a tour of Amber Fort, a honey-coloured fortress palace in the Aravalli Hills. Possessing a chamber of mirrors, the interiors are a decorative art paradise and there are striking views of the gorge. In the afternoon, visit the Observatory and City Palace which boasts courtyards, impressive gateways and temples.

From Jaipur you will travel by road to Udaipur. Udaipur is regarded as one of the most romantic cities of the World and subsequently, also known as the ‘Venice of East’. Udaipur had been the capital of Mewar for centuries. During your time in Udaipur you will have the opportunity to visit the famous Lake Palace, Jag Niwas Palace, Lake Pichola, Museums and Gardens of Udaipur.

Depart Udaipur to Mumbai

arriving in time for dinner. In the morning you will take a tour of Mumbai. Mumbai fascinates with its grand colonial architecture, bustling bazaars, trendy boutiques and exclusive restaurants, all offset with a special sense of history. Stately Victorian British buildings rub shoulders with rich Indian tradition and Elephanta Island, with its ancient caves and temples, lies in the middle of the city harbour.

Prices start from £1,870 per person, including British Airways return fl ights, internal fl ight to Mumbai with Air India or Jet Airways private transfers, 3* accommodation with daily breakfast and all entry fees.

All are holidays are completely bespoke and the number of nights is merely a guide. For further information and prices please contact Inspirational Travel, call 01778 382764, email [email protected] or visit www.inspirational-travel.com

A client after treatment


With so many truly amazing beauty treatments

available, we are never short of choices when it comes to looking great with gel nails, extensions, massages and facials regularly featuring in our beauty regimes.

And, now we are being seduced with aesthetically enhancing treatments that change the way you look. There are treatments for hair removal, skin rejuvenating, jowl lifting, skin tightening and fat reducing

These appearance-changing machines aren’t new; they’ve been used in hospitals and medically for many years and are begining to become mainstream in the consumer market.

And, they are available locally as Elysia Health & Beauty offers all of these treatments and more.

I visited the salon in the village of Tansor, just outside Oundle, to see what they were all about.

Lisa Claypole, the owner and two other therapist are trained in all the treatments. Lisa has run the business for more than 15 years and to say she has passion for what she does is an understatement. Her dedication to ensuring she offers the best service is only paralleled by her drive to ensure each client gets the best results possible. She does

this by researching for the best technology on the market in IPL and Radio Frequency machines, plus other cutting-edge machines offering various results driven treatments.

As a nation we are sceptical about anything new and I was no different when Lisa offered the

Lipofi rm Pro treatment which offers fat loss, skin tightening, sculpting and cellulite removal all in one package. It is also medically certifi ed and clinically proven.

After a consultation, we decided to target my tummy area where subbon fat accumulates and refuses to budge whatever I try.

The session lasted about 30 minutes and Lisa measured three areas around my middle so she could calculate the amount I lost, which was 16cms in total. Which, even by Lisa’s standards, was amazing, and as Lisa had also taken before and after photographs of my stomach, I could scrutinise the pictures and it was obvious the difference just one session had made. I noticed more defi nition in the upper tummy area which is where I lost most of my size and as six to eight treatments are recommended to get the best results, I was certainly encouraged by the difference just one session makes. t: 01832 226328 w: elysiahealthandbeauty.com

Like looking through a lens or a prism, some ways of thinking

add a particular bias to your view of the world and are especially likely to be associated with feeling bad and when we feel bad that’s a time when we reach for foods high in fat and sugar to make us feel better.

Getting rid of the bias and getting your thoughts back into perspective will make you feel better, but to do this you need to recognise that the bias is there.

Below are some of the most common types of biased thinking, try to pick out which of them are contributing to your problems. l Catastrophising – we think

the worst is going to happen, it will be awful and we will not be able to cope

l Black and white thinking (all or nothing) – we tend to

Thinking and over-eatingsee things, ourselves and other people as being totally wrong or totally right, all good or all bad. We are a total success or we are a total failure

l Mind reading – knowing what other people are thinking about us like thinking they disapprove of us but we do not bother to check it out

l Predicting the future – thinking events will turn out bad without having any evidence to support this view. “Everyone will be slim and fit if I go to the gym”. Once you identify and name the

biases in your thinking, you can then chose to think differently. You will have a powerful skill to help you overcome low

mood and comfort eating.Next month: post-holiday detoxingt: 07961 001616e: [email protected] w: whyweightuk.org.uk

Understanding your Over-Eating – 5 Week Course

This course IS NOT a diet, it will not tell you what to eat or how much - we think you know that already. Instead it will help you to explore whether you are eating to deal with your feelings and using food to manage your life?

If you are, it will teach you a diff erent way of getting through the day.

At Why Weight we facilitate people to have a better understanding of their relationship with food and to have a healthier relationship with food and themselves.

If you would like more information about this course email Hayley

[email protected] or call 07961 001616.

Find losing weight a challenge? Have you tried every diet on themarket and still can’t lose weight?Maybe it’s time to ‘ditch the diet’, for now anyway, and try a new approach.

schoolschoolschoolIt’s never too soon

to get your make-up bag in order, says our Beauty Editor Freya Pell

If you’re starting at secondary school or just going back you’ll either

already be into beauty or just starting to fi nd it interesting and you’ll be wanting to take a few items to school in your bag to freshen up throughout the day. It’s just what girls do! You’ll want to smell nice, look good and feel confi dent about yourself as you’re growing up.

So, I thought I’d give some timely product recommendations on what to pack in your make-up bag. However, each school has its own policies on what you can and can’t wear, so check the rules fi rst.

Simple Hydrating Light

Moisturiser 50ml £1.29

You must moisturise after

using a face wipe. This little

pot of light moisturiser will do just the job.

Simple Kind To Skin Facial Cleansing Wipes

7s £1.25This handy little pack of wipes will

be used more than you might think. After PE or swimming you’ll want to refresh your

face and one wipe will be perfect.

Thin assorted hairbands £1.69It’s always handy to keep a hairband on your wrist and a couple in your bag

just incase the one in your hair decides to break.

Tangle Teezer purple compact brush £12.49

This compact brush is small enough to put in your

school bag ready to brush your hair at any time.

Nivea Dry Roll-On Deodorant 50ml

£2.10Keep one in your

school bag and one in your PE kit for those hot and sweaty moments

when you need to freshen up.

Carex Sensitive Hand Gel 50ml £1.45It’s always good to sanitise your hands

before applying make-up and eating or even to just refresh your hands.

Beat the post-holiday bluesBeat the post-holiday bluesBeat the post-holiday bluesBeat the post-holiday bluesBeat the post-holiday bluesBeat the post-holiday bluesThe holidays are coming to a

close. The kids are going back to school and the nights are drawing in. Do you struggle with this transition? Do you fi nd yourself sinking into post-holiday or back-to-work blues? This happens when we place emphasis on a particular event like a holiday. We make it such an important part of our life that we can genuinely feel lost without it, which is why many people book another one as soon as they return.

You can prevent this by bringing more balance into your life. Take some quiet time and divide your life into these seven categories:1. Health and fi tness (weight,

nutrition, sports, working out)2. Wealth (money management,

fi nancial planning, investment)

3. Romance (partner, spouse, signifi cant other)4. Friends (social activities and get-togethers)5. Family (close and distance relatives)6. Career (current, future aspirations)7. Development (education, training, learning

something new)To live a balanced life, you should place equal importance on all of these areas. If any are lacking importance take action to improve them. You will begin to feel more rounded as an individual as your life gathers more purpose.

There will also be less pressure in any one area of your life so if things are amiss you will have the ability to refocus and rebalance your priorities.

Balanced importance means you can enjoy your summer breaks and you will return feeling energised and excited about getting back to your equally exciting and purposeful life.
