I must admit that I get really excited about adding wild nettles into my springtime cuisine. Mother Earth is an amazing friend. If we respect her and take the time to connect, she unveils a carpet of super foods without the need for us to rush off and fill our shopping baskets or spend a [...]
As a conscious gardener, I am aware that unless we all start foraging again and totally return to nature (which certainly wouldn’t be a bad thing in this day and age), that our gardens will always be a little out of balance – no matter how kind to the earth we are. Yet, I am [...]
Those of us who’ve ever seen images of the twisted and thwarted world of factory farming (or animals in captivity), have often wondered how an openhearted person finds the strength to go in and capture such heart wrenching footage. I’ve long since imagined what it must be like be that person who cares so profoundly, [...]
Every now and again a documentary comes along that sends shivers through my whole being. When I watched the trailer for “Cowspiracy: The Sustainable Secret”, it did just that. There is one single movement destroying the planet more than any other… but no one wants to talk about it. Well now the time has finally [...]
Lemon Balm, also known as Melissa officinalis is totally and utterly the herb of the month for me at the moment, springing up all over my garden. It seems to really want to grow here, with very little attention. What a perfect opportunity to make some lemon balm pate with pumpkin seeds and ginger. Lemon balm [...]
Lemon Balm, also known as Melissa officinalis is totally and utterly the herb of the month for me at the moment, springing up all over the garden. It seems to really want to grow here in England, with very little attention, scattering out the most bountiful harvest at a time when other greens are just starting [...]
I remember watching ‘The Cove’, an academy award documentary created by a team dedicated to bringing the truth to the world about the annual, brutal, dolphin slaughter in Taiji, Japan. Although it brought me to my knees, I felt so inspired that people could care so much, taking it upon themselves to get the message [...]
These delicious, crunchy, easy-to-make biscuits are a real favourite here. It's actually been a miracle that I caught a photo of them at all, given that they tend to fly out of the kitchen before I manage to get my camera out. Being gluten-free, vegan, free from egg, dairy and refined sugar, these chocolate chip [...]
Sometimes all you need is a simple biscuit, so I came up with a tasty little treat. The delicate hint of warming spices entwines softly with a playful infusion of lemon and orange zest; whilst the date that sweetens this biscuit balances and brings the best out in everything. Spelt works well in this recipe [...]
Check out my other healthy drinks here: Healthy Drinks In a culture that tends to bombard us with pollution, free-radicals, electro-smog and a myriad of vibrational lowering stress, I love to know that every morsel of what I eat is supporting my health and helping keep my vibration high. I love starting off the first [...]
