Up until now I have never been a fan of the thought of a massaged kale salad. I mean really…massaged kale! Why would I deviate from it’s traditional rustic roots of slow pan cooking with olive oil and garlic, it just ticks all the right boxes. The thing is, the hot weather got the better ...
This smoothie is a relatively new obsession. I’ve recently been craving salty foods, or just salt in general. I think it’s because of the heat and the increased exercise intensity I have been doing. Considering I sweat bucket loads during these sessions it would make sense that I’m in love with my saltshaker. Therefore, as ...
I think these Mouthwatering Salmon & Grilled Eggplant Burgers really speak for themselves. I mean seriously, just look at them! The day we shot these burgers I purposely made them just before we took a break for lunch. The boys were quite famished by this stage, so it’s very safe to say these burgers did ...
Why is a nutritionist posting a recipe for mulled wine? I’ll tell you why. It’s because life is for living. Life is not about deprivation and an ‘all or nothing approach’ that leaves us resenting a healthy lifestyle. When you want to kick up your heels and let your hair down, then you should ...
Yikes! This is my first YouTube video folks and I am really excited (and nervous if I was to be honest) about sharing this with you. I love being in the kitchen and creating my favourite dishes for the blog, the process of styling, photographing and editing. Though as much as I love photography, the ...
Vita-weats are not something that I personally eat, but this blog isn’t just about what I choose to put in my mouth. Its about what works for everyone else, its about diversity and balance, no matter what your dietary restrictions or non restrictions are. When clients come to the jcn clinic we do not automatically pull ...
As soon as the weather warmed up I instantly found myself craving a good bircher. My interest in steaming hot pancakes and hot porridge dissipated, and I longed for a cooling breakfast to put a bounce in my step for the day ahead. Bircher is like porridge’s cousin. It’s a genetic milkshake of similar ingredients, yet ...
This dish (like many of my dishes) is inspired by Italy. I love the simplicity of polenta, how a grain (or a vegetable meal in this case) can come together with some hot stock and generate such a wondrous creation. A good polenta (like a lot of paired back recipes) really does require decent quality ingredients. ...
On my last visit to Melbourne my sister in law took me to one of her favourite cafe’s on the Mornington Peninsula. I feel pretty fortunate having family in the Mornington area; it truly is a lovely part of Victoria that is blessed with fine food and wine. My sis-in-law is an avid foodie like ...
These toasties with braised balsamic blueberries, goat’s cheese, prosciutto and rocket where one of those crazy brain wave ideas I sometimes (often) get. I was pondering how I would like to use the surplus of blueberries I had, and I started going off in all sorts of weird and wonderful directions until this one came ...
