Essential Cuisine aims to put diners in the mood for wellbeing

Stocks and sauces manufacturer Essential Cuisine has unveiled a chef-focused, productivity-boosting recipe guide.

The Summer Superfoods recipe book sees the company's team of development chefs take some of its best-known products to create a host of inspirational spring and summer-inspired recipes.

Recipes include smoked duck, heritage carrot, orange and wild rice salad with a hazelnut and pomegranate dressing; tofu poke bowl; jerk fish with corn salsa; and a one-pot Moroccan chickpea brown rice salad.

The recipe book includes a foreword by nutritionist Dr Sarah Schenker, about the effect a poor diet can have on individuals and their families, employers and wider society, recognising that people are happier and more productive if they feel and eat healthily.
