My Most Hated Vegetable: Broccoli.

So it seems, my mum was on to something when she forced my sister and I to eat raw broccoli all those years when we were kids. "You can't even taste it if you have it with a bit of avocado," she would say. She was wrong. You can totally taste it. 

 

But I guess I should be grateful because a recent study has found that as well as a host of other benefits (like reducing blood cholesterol levels and helping to prevent certain cancers), those little green trees may actually help you live longer. 

 

And if you don't fancy the raw stuff (even with a scraping of mushed-up avocado), you can find my favourite broccoli recipe here.
