This has to be one of my favourite cooked dishes. It’s a colourful medley of delicious, super health affirming foods. Not only is quinoa a rich source of protein, containing all 9 essential amino acids, it also boasts impressive levels of manganese, phosphorus and vitamin E. Add in the welcomed health benefits of essential fats [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Juicing can give us a potent hit of helpful nutrients – think ‘8 salads worth of high vibrational goodness in a glass’! There are an infinite number of combinations that you can create, yet, most people usually find a favourite combination that they go back to again and again. I’ve been juicing my favourite ‘super [...]
Falafel is a traditional deep fried middle eastern dish. We enjoy a wonderfully healthy version by adding a few extra things like turmeric and sweet potato and bake them in the oven instead. I like to add turmeric, because it complements the other flavours so well and gives a gorgeous yellow glow to the plate. [...]
Turmeric has such a catalogue of health benefits, that I make sure I include it in our weekly diet in different and interesting ways. We've found that this colourful side dish is such an appetizing way to enjoy rice with salad or a heavier main meal. There's a bit of a knack to cooking rice. [...]
Smoothies make a regular appearance in our house around breakfast time each morning. Apples don’t always spring to mind when people think of smoothies, which is a bit of a pity because they really are one of natures finest super foods, well worthy of our attention. I find that adding a little tahini (a paste [...]
