On World Hepatitis Day last year we launched our Great British C Party campaign. We encouraged people to organise a ‘super club style’ meal with a healthy twist. With the help of some top chefs and our patients we rallied around and got together some menus which were designed to support healthy liver function.

Many of us living with hepatitis C are well aware what a crucial role diet plays in taking care of the liver; it’s not just about avoiding alcohol! Sometimes watching what we eat and avoiding certain foods can seem like an arduous task.
We wanted to inject some fun into healthy eating so we pioneered The Great British C Party, a campaign designed to capitalise on the current trend for pop-up restaurants and supper clubs. This was more than just a fundraiser, many of our patients took up the challenge as did Primary Care Trusts and Drug treatment teams all over the country. Channel 4 chef Gizzi Erskine (Cook Yourself Thin) led the way with a sumptuous two-course menu for 6 people, coming in at just £4.40 a head for all the ingredients. Whilst some of the ingredients may not seem typically ‘liver friendly’ at first glance, Gizzi explains healthy ways to cook and prepare all the foods. For anyone wanting to host their own C Party, it couldn’t be easier. Follow our instructions below to make your night perfect. We’ve even designed pretty menus and quizzes for your guests to see just how much they know about how the liver works. |  |
