As the year comes to an end, we’re all going to be making our New Years resolutions in Jan, some might find it harder than other to stick to them, but we’ll all give it a go. To help us out in January, LEON will be launching their new menu which will include yummy “free-from” dishes inspired by their new cookbook Fast & Free.
You might be thinking what are free-from dishes? Well the natural fast food chain say this involves steering clear from those not so healthy ingredients when cooking, but not completely denying yourself, which if you are like us, you might not find so easy to do.
You can expect their new dishes to be gluten-free, dairy-free and free from refined sugars, which can be tricky to do well so we’re excited to see what they’re all about. It’ll also give you a chance to preview and sample some of the dishes taken directly from their new cook book before its release. Dairy-free cashew milk Ruby Berry Porridge and their gluten free Chicken Noodle Soup will both be on the menu, and LEON have even vouched that the flavour will not be compromised… yum!
Also some good news for LEON fans, they will also be bringing back one of my faves – the Thai Green Chicken Curry Hot Box, which I would definitely recommend for anyone that has never had it before.
