To learn how to cook new and tasty recipes, I was lucky to meet some kind and fantastic people. They run a restaurant in Lugano called “Afiordigusto” and have organized several valuable and interesting cooking courses.
These restaurant “Afiordigusto” takes into consideration those who had to change the diet for health reasons, like cancer, and shows you how to cook, directly in their kitchen, with their passion. I’m so proud to have been able to participate in these courses.
These courses really motivated me to learn new recipes and, when I was tired of cooking, I appreciated their cuisine. A huge thanks to all their efforts to organize these courses. I strongly recommend you to do the same thing as I did: to be guided by experienced people!
For more information, please read their website www.afiordigusto.ch
Beans are packed with good things for good health including slow-digesting carbs, fibre (including the sticky ones that lower cholesterol), vitamins and minerals.

Chia seeds “are one of the richest sources of the plant form of omega-3 called ALA. They are also big on fibre. In fact, at 37% they are an outstanding source of fibre, in particular of soluble fibre” says Foodwatch nutritionist Catherine Saxelby. They can also promote weight loss in overweight and obese people with type 2 diabetes reports GI Labs Dr Alexandra Jenkins in a new study. Check out the Good Carbs Food Fact File for chia (spoiler alert: they get five stars). “© GI News, University of Sydney”. Read more.
