This weather can sometimes be confusing, one week it feels like summer is around the corner while the next there is a significant chill in the air. This soup is very versatile and while it offers some winter warmness, it also feels fresh and light on the palate- welcoming in spring. Although this soup is […]

During these times we are trying to limit our need to go to the shops, limit our time in the shops and trying to maximize the quality and lifespan of the food we buy. We want to make sure we choose the freshest and best foods and store them in a way that will optimize […]

In this weather, there is nothing better than tucking into some warm, soul- soothing bread – even better if toasted and topped off with a dollop of butter.  Packed with fibre, vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants, this bread is an equally awesome snack option – try toasting it and spreading a tablespoon of almond butter on […]

What a winter warmer this crumble is. Sticky, sweet and just utterly YUM. This crumble is high in fibre, can easily be gluten free (if you use gluten free oats) and gives a fabulous boost of anti-oxidants. Berries are loaded with vitamins and bioactive compounds such as resveratrol, which powerfully switch on our anti-oxidant producing […]

This creamy cauliflower soup will warm you up from the outside in and the inside out. Starting with the base we have our allium vegetables – onions, leeks and garlic.

This has been an extremely challenging time, but everyone is, in all spheres of life, remaining positive.   Healthy eating – a healthy gut, a strong immune system and activation […]

I’m slowly starting to realise that Asian is one of my favourite cuisines to cook. The aromas of lime, lemon grass, ginger and sesame oil are just so beautiful, especially when they hit your nose as the steam escapes this delicious fish parcel. Hake is such an easy, lean and affordable protein to cook with. […]

Been posting a few tofu recipes and lately and this one is also a favorite of mine. What I like about this bowl is that you can add anything and everything that you have in your cupboard or fridge. It is a great way to use up some rice from the night before or some […]

This recipe is just yum! It may not be as super nourishing but its ok to indulge sometimes and it still has some great health benefits too. It has a slightly different consistency to other brownies due to the almond flour and desiccated coconut, but it is still sticky, chocolatey and yum. Raw cocoa is […]
