Sweet Potato Lentil Stew

This is another of my favourite recipes from Alicia Silverstone's The Kind Diet - in fact, this is probably my most favourite recipe of all from the book (I previously blogged my adapted version of her amazing cupcakes). It's also one of those dishes that will never look pretty, no matter how you try to photograph it - but as all of us in the food blogosphere know, it's often the things that look the worst that taste the best! This is certainly true for this dish. What's even better is how good this is for you. The spices that are included in this dish are all so beneficial for you and there are so many thrown in, so it they make for a wonderful flavour.
