Edition 1: Nick’s Recipe’s – ‘If I can cook it, so can you!’

Wessex care resident Nick Davies has been inspiring people with his recipes online and has a Facebook page with over 30,000 followers. His website ‘My Easy Suppers’ provides easy meal ideas for all to enjoy, along with his recipe books.

Nick has advanced MS., and is now bedbound in West Kimberly Care Home. But when he wrote this book, he was able to stand assisted by crutches, and cook perching on a high stool. He proves it's possible to produce easy suppers like this despite the obstacle of a major disability. So for an able-bodied person, it's simple, and Nick shows you how in his easy to follow recipes.

We will be regularly sharing recipes from Nick throughout the year.
