Blueberries are an incredible brain food, not just for their antioxidant properties, but they are also one of the best sources of anthocyanins, which help to reduce inflammation in the brain through fighting free radicals. Of course, they are also here for their taste and there is nothing better than a fresh juicy blueberry, grown in season. Paired with our omega-rich walnuts and memory-supporting rosemary, this Blueberry, Rosemary and Walnut Toffee Tart by Lauren Lovatt is a frangipane-filled tart that is quite the Mind Food treat.

Then, this cheesy tomato sauce is mixed with pasta and other ingredients. This Feta Pasta with Tomato, Butternut Squash and Garlic by Dominique Ebra adds butternut squash to add color and another level of creamy texture, as well as some hidden vegetables. It also adds sage for some crispy bites and to enhance the flavor of the dish.
