Top TV chef and talent behind the recipes, Danny Boome, knows only too well the importance of eating the right foods to stay motivated and alert.
Danny explains: “In Britain, we work longer hours than any other part of Europe, so it’s no surprise that we have little time to spend doing the things we enjoy, whether it’s a hobby, spending time with the family, or learning something new. Prior to training as a chef, I worked as a nanny, played professional ice hockey and even tried my hand at graphic design and marketing. I’ve always loved food and with a little dedication have now been lucky enough to fulfil my dream to make cooking my profession.
“What’s important is that we should never compromise our learning ability, which is why I’ve teamed up with learndirect to create a series of easy and accessible brain food recipes – each of which contain essential ingredients to help kick start the brain.”
Like cooking, learning doesn’t have to take up all your time. And because you can learn at your local centre, online at home or in the office, you can fulfil your potential at a time and pace that suits you.
