My Day on a Plate: Thomasina Miers

Posted by Sofia Downing 2 Jul, 2011

7am I always start with two cups of Earl Grey from the pot.

8am Small bowl of muesli with extra nuts and fruit.

9am Arrive at work and get started in the kitchen.

11.30am Share a quesadilla with the head chef then back to it.

2.30pm Sit down to try at least eight dishes, from beans and rice to fish, with lots of corn-based carbohydrates, to check the consistency of the dishes across all the restaurants.

4pm In a post-overeating energy slump I reach for the ice cream, but often have nuts in my bag for healthier moments. I’m pregnant but not experiencing any cravings, perhaps because I have a balanced diet (usually!). I have so much more energy if I eat well.

6pm Cracker and cheese, if I’m hungry.

7pm Pasta with broccoli and anchovies – I throw oil over almost everything. I eat very simply at home, creating dishes around the veg we buy at the farmers’ market.

Thomasina’s new series, ‘Mexican Food Made Simple’ , starts this week on Channel 5 wahaca.co.uk

NIGEL DENBY dietician

Thomasina balances her diet well and manages to taste her restaurant creations without blowing her diet out of the water. Pregnant women used to be advised to avoid nuts, to prevent their babies developing allergies. New evidence shows no links there, so Thomasina can carry on eating them to keep her hunger at bay.
