Over the course of the summer, I was able to work with a business coach from Cirencester Growth Hub. With our 20th anniversary just around the corner, it provided us with a chance to reflect on our successes, mistakes and lessons learnt from the past 20 years and plan for the next 20 years of Personal Best.
One outcome from this collaboration is the opportunity for 5 MBA students from Gloucestershire University to highlight an aspect of our business. Read More...

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH SMOKEY BRAISED KALE
This delicious recipe is adapted from Gjelina ‘Cooking from Venice Beach’ and although I was
initially put off by the brining of the chicken, it’s certainly worth the effort. The braised kale
makes a great accompaniment to this dish but could easily be eaten on its own!
INGREDIENTS
BRINE
240ml warm water
240ml ice water
50g salt
55g sugar
1 lemon cut into rounds
4 thyme sprigs
1 bay leaf
1 dried guajillo chilli – or chilli of preference
4 chicken breasts – skin on
BRAISED KALE
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 Spanish onions, peeled and diced
4 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
1Tbsp tomato paste
1/2 tsp smoked paprika (pimentón)
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
480ml vegetable or chicken stock
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
3 bunches washed kale (I used spring greens), thick stems discarded or cut into thin strips, leaves cut into thick strips.
