What is Wholesome Seduction?
Wholesome Seduction is a food blog that believes food is fuel and it should 
not only taste good, but do us good. Taking inspiration from abroad and with a little thought and planning, flavour needn’t be compromised.
Clare Garcia has a background in concept development and retail, which she blends with her love of food, nutrition and creative direction.
