The Crown Prince squash has an unmistakable, thick steely blue skin. With deep orange flesh inside, the little treasure from the plant kingdom has a gorgeous, rich nutty, sweet flavour. Crown Prince is of my favourite types of squash and so I was rather delighted to be given a couple of these beauties the other [...]
There are infinite ways to make soup and a few simple things that make them work. Today I am sharing a super easy squash soup. This tasty soup works because it benefits from the creaminess of the squash and coconut infused with a gentle blend of various warming spices. It's easy - as long as [...]
I find myself getting excited about soups and warming foods as the chillier weather creeps in. At the moment I am living somewhere warm during the days, although I am at high altitude in the mountains, so it can get rather cold at night. In some ways, maybe I am just a bit strange in [...]
I have a bit of a thing for mushrooms. My body starts missing them if I go without for more than a few days. The body speaks, so I have long since suspected that they are having a beneficial effect on my health that expands beyond a basic level of nutrition. There are gazillions of different [...]
This one is definitely worth sharing here. I've just returned from a lovely little trip to Sweden on a job as a retreat chef. A joy as usual! After all the busy-ness, I returned to stay in some 'gorgeous foresty Swedish place' with friends for a couple of days to chill out. To cut a [...]

When it comes to soups I don't think I've ever made the same one twice (except when developing a recipe for my blog or books of course). The other day I was thinking about creating a soup that my both my 18-year-old son and myself would like. My son adores chillies and often has a [...]
When the winter kicks in, soup seems to get all the more cozy and inviting. It's that warm nurturing 'ahhhhhhhhh' feeling. I enjoy popping down to the local farmers market (with my hat and gloves on lol) and seeing what organic produce is in season. Local organic stuff seems to be brimming with so much [...]
This recipe is based on a delicious soup from my first book Trinity's Conscious Kitchen. We've enjoyed this in many forms over the years here at my house and it's always been popular on retreats with guests. I can't say that it is one particular ingredient that makes this soup special. It's a combination of [...]
Ok, here we go! The colder weather is on its way here in the Northern Hemisphere. Out come the pans - warming soups are suddenly on the menu again. That nurturing, heart-warming feeling - ahhhhhh.
