Robyn Steward has a condition called prosapagnosia which means she does not recognise faces, but recognises people by their shoes!
Because of Robyn’s physical disabilities, she needs to wear boots, and her visual impairment makes bright colors easier to see, hence her bright shiny blue boots.

Always use organic produce for a really healthy meal. Varying the organic vegetables will not stop this dish from tasting amazing, it will be a sizzler!
Lightly fry some leeks, onions and spring onions in a little butter/olive oil, mix in one jar of organic Thai Green curry paste, then place into a slow cooker. Add one tin of coconut milk.
Peel, remove seeds and chop/slice; carrots, parsnip, turnip, swede, spinach, harlequin squash (remove skin), purple sprouting broccoli, one red pepper, spinach and a medium potato.
