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 [...]
Goodness me this soup is delicious! There is something about the way that the warming spices dance with the sweetness of the coconut and sweet potato. This combo creates a special blend of delectableness. This recipe benefits from fresh ginger and garlic, whilst using dried ground turmeric and pepper. A lot of people have these [...]

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 it's way here in the Northern Hemisphere. Out come the pans - warming soups are suddenly on the menu again. That nurturing, heart-warming feeling - ahhhhhh. The thing everyone loves about soup is that you can make them all in one pot. That means they are [...]
This is perhaps one of the most popular soup recipes that I make. When I say popular, I mean, judging by the response I get when I serve this to group. Oh my goodness, on the most recent retreat I catered for in Sweden, I was absolutely showered with 'OMG, this is the best ever' [...]
