As a discerning health seeker I can't help but get really excited about celery and its myriad of health benefits. It has a distinctive, tangy crunch that adds a refreshing depth to salads, whilst easily earning a five star thumbs-up as the perfect finger food. Celery also works wonders as a natural scoop for dips, [...]
Juicing is awesome. There are few things in life that give you such a rapid infusion of nutrients and can make you feel so vibrant and alive! I often hear people telling me that they really want to get into juicing, but they don’t have enough time. Given the incredible benefits that juicing can bring [...]
I get really excited about big healthy, hearty salads. In fact, I enjoy a vibrant salad for lunch every day (and often with dinner too). Rather unfortunately, many people's only experience with salad resembles a bit of limp lettuce, some waxed cucumber and over-sized tasteless tomato (which is probably genetically modified). Added to that, fast food [...]

Is bottled water good for our health? There’s no easy answer to that one. Given the dangers of tap water (which I discussed in my previous article here: Which water should I drink?), we might be forgiven for thinking that we should all drink bottled water. I must admit that until now, I’ve consumed a [...]
One of my favourite memories ever, is a sitting in the jungle in Maui, cutting open an avocado the size of a rugby ball. Followed by four of us tucking in with spoons, savouring every bite, whilst the rest of the world fell away. That was our whole meal. Bliss. It was so divine that [...]
There's something about rosemary that keeps me spell-bound and faithfully infusing it into my diet, in ever more imaginative and different ways. It holds an alchemical key to unraveling a turbulent mind whilst imbuing a calming, yet invigorating energy. All I need do is gently rub the leaves between my fingertips and inhale the rich, [...]
