These rice paper rolls are probably one of my favourite foods to eat, they are super fresh, spiced, raw and can be prepared at the table with loved ones, for some extra community fun. They also pack really well for outings. The sauces in this dish are packed with essential fatty acids and amino acids, […]
I first fell in love with Nasi Goreng, when eating at a food stall in the back streets of Kuala Lumpur at the age of 14. And to be honest, no Nasi Goreng quite matches up the one served from a dirty wok, out on the street by a man in a katfan. My sister […]
This juice is time tested in my household. People who normally say they don’t like green juices, always tell me they like this one. My dear child, slurps this juice up in one gulp…I think that is a good testament to having found the perfect balance and texture of ingredients. However, the main reason I […]
I know, how much kale can this World take without going bananas forevermore. But trust me, this one is a keeper, and I go back to it frequently because it is simply super tasty. What I love about kale as a green, is that it is sturdy enough to take a bit of heat, yet […]
To tell you the truth, I am not big on putting anything green nor algae derivative in any of my smoothies, simply because I really do not appreciate sitting down to a bowl of seaweed soup disguised as a daisy…it never works, I have tried, for twenty odd years to find a solution for this. […]
I can probably do these whips with my eyes closed seeing I have been making them since I was 18 years old and was hooked on the Fit For Life diet (oh dear). Twenty five years later, and the wholefoods industry has exploded, and brought to our table fabulous super-foods that not only nourish and […]
This frozen smoothie has become my staple since I moved to Sydney and took on a rather involved full time role whilst being a single mum. My priority is my son, simply, and I no longer want to spend hours in the kitchen that may rob any extra quality time with him. So as a […]
Ever wondered about what to do with those pesky sticky pumpkin seeds when making a pumpkin soup? Well, here is one solution. As you peel and de-seed the pumpkin, scoop out the seeds into a colander over the sink. Remove the excess pumpkin flesh that tends to hang onto the seeds (the house) with your […]
Because of the beetroot latte powder that I used for this delish, this smoothie bowl has a lovely earthy tone to it. Beetroot and dragon fruit are really high in phytonutrients and antioxidants which are great for rejuvenating cells and staying on top of any free radical exposure that we may experience in a day, […]
This recipe came about, to tell the truth, because I had a sweet tooth and it needed satisfying. At the time, I had all the right ingredients at home to come up with something solid, so now it has been transformed into a recipe so that it can be enjoyed by you lovely people as […]
I was introduced to chana dahl when I started studying Ayurvedic Medicine, and absolutely fell in love with this easily digested, starchy and softly flavoured lentil. Chana dahl is a split lentil and does not need soaking before cooking, however I recommend rinsing it in a sieve under cold running water to get rid of […]
This ‘break the fast’ meal is a bit of a life saver in a vegan’s winter months. Smoothies just don’t quite cut it when it is really cold. There are many different ways of making this porridge, which is great, so once you get the gist of the process you can be as creative as […]
This little side dish, although it can perfectly be eaten as a meal, is a Greek ‘hand-me-down’ recipe that was passed to me by a most gorgeous Greek Mama, ptui ptui, and which I have massaged a little bit to suit my own dietary preferences. Needless to say, I encourage you to use the most […]
This soup is a beauty if I can say so myself. I have been making pumpkin soup since I was at Uni but back then, probably because I couldn’t be bothered, I would cook or steam the pumpkin in vegetable stock and then put it through a mixer. This is a perfectly fine and fast […]
I have had requests to post the preparation for this party trick a couple of times, so here it goes. This idea is by no means my original idea, although the recipe is. No, I stole this ‘salad in a jar’ trick from someone who admittedly stole it from someone else, and neither of us […]
Feel like making something sweet without exploiting your entire pantry nor putting yourself at risk of utter gluttony? This easy and incredibly simple recipe will keep you safe from any of that. My raw cacao is super rich in plant based essential fatty acids which are important to keep our bodies healthy, youthful and free […]
Making your own chocolate is both easy and fun. The best part being that you are actually eating a treat that is nutritious at the same time, not just an indulgence. You can get as creative as you want here, using this recipe as your platform adding whatever other ingredients you see fit such as […]
A while back I went off cooked food for a bit. It happens to me every now and then that I naturally will only feel like eating raw, so I follow my instinct. This recipe came out of that episode, as I was getting bored of my salads and the usual flavours. It has become […]
This recipe is very simple to make, the ingredients are relatively easy to get hold of and it is raw. You can eat it as is, or you can serve it as a side dish. There are plenty of nutrients in this dish so it is surprisingly satisfying. This Waldorf salad here is a great […]
Almond milk is a bit of a luxury but it is oh so heavenly. I prefer to drink it as soon as I have made it, but it is so perfectly brilliant in raw chia puddings, and that is probably where I use it the most. Almond milk is very easy to make, you either […]
For some reason, our diet is probably one of the most controversial subjects in our lifetime. An essential part of our life, that really should be in our control, at our hands and intuitively easy, has become something rather political and economical in our world. Apart from the odd breatharian, we all need to eat […]
