Good Carbs Recipes

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that controls sleep as well as mental wellbeing, while melatonin is a hormone that promotes a regular sleep-wake cycle.

Add the parsnips and celeriac and fry for another five minutes.
Add the water, vegetable stock, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and bay leaves to the pan.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat. Let it simmer for around 30 minutes or until the vegetables are very soft.
Turn the heat off and let it cool down for 5 minutes.
