Mind Food: Plant-based recipes for positive mental health

Product Information

Note: This recipe is for baking a loaf cake to make the Mondrian Cake. To make a standard round cake, you can bake the batter in an 8 by 3-inch round cake; the baking time will be 55 to 60 minutes. Slowly pour or ladle ganache along the length of a cake strip, generously covering the top side of the cake. Use an offset spatula to smooth and spread the ganache, making sure the 3 exposed sides are fully enrobed (the bottom will remain uncoated). Coat all the strips in the same fashion, taking note of which one is yellow; once enrobed, it can be hard to distinguish it from the white strips. (After the cake has been assembled, the ganache that has dripped into the baking sheet can be scraped out, poured through a sieve to remove particles of cake, and used for the final coating of ganache) Almost everyone’s mental health worsened over the pandemic, but while women have been approaching MindFood for help, men are still hesitant. Set the white cake on its side on a large (at least 16-inch) cutting board. Using a sharp 12-inch serrated knife, very carefully shave off the browned bottom of the loaf, removing less than 1/8-inch, so that you have a flat, crustless side.

With 1 in 4 people in the UK struggling with their mental health in any given year, and as many as 1 in 2 Londoners feeling they have more stress than they can comfortably handle (these figures are pre Covid), absolutely NO-ONE should feel alone in this. In health we explore what influences how we experience various flavours and what differentiates the fussy eater from the adventurous, as well as look at the challenges some mothers face bearing the weight of responsibility and having difficulty rediscovering ‘fun’. With the other piece resting on a 21/2-inch side, measure 1/2 inch from the edge and score with the knife at the upper and lower edges. Slice as straight as possible, connecting the score marks.

Remove the cake from the refrigerator and transfer it to the large cutting board. Using the serrated knife, trim about 1/4 inch off of the end to reveal the Mondrian design.

What matters is that we can all share a similar recovery journey.​The novel’s elaborate, dreamlike prose sits uneasily at times with the brutal dispossessions of American history, especially the fates of the real-life Malaga Islanders. Its plot strains to accommodate the complexities of transatlantic slavery, colonial conquest and Irish settler diaspora. Not claiming to speak for anyone is part of the moral discipline the narrator prides herself on. But the absence of any dialogue and the sterility of the voice ultimately crafts a narrator who is constrained not just by her brother’s demands but by her own self-perception.
