sweet potato & beet muffins w raw sesame cream

sweet potato & beet muffins w raw sesame cream

I have a baking ritual like most bakers out there I imagine. After sifting, kneading, mixing and stirring I pop my prize to be in the oven and wait eagerly for it to cool enough to pry it from the pan. Often its not really cool enough, I just use that great technique of throwing ...

the best roast potatoes

the best roast potatoes

She’s finally lost her marbles right. I’m sure that’s what you may be thinking seeing this recipe. A nutritionist sharing a recipe for duck fat roast potatoes!? I esure you I have not lost my marbles. I know there is a lot of fear surrounding animal based fats (and also ethical concerns for some), but ...

maple roasted carrots & parsnips w pistachios, cranberries and sage

maple roasted carrots & parsnips w pistachios, cranberries and sage

Candy carrots and parsnips. That’s pretty much what these roasted maple carrots & parsnips with pistachio and sage are. Basically a 101 on how to make kids and fussy adults eat their vegetables. Like brussel sprouts, no one seems to like parsnips. My husband doesn’t like them and I must admit they aren’t the tastiest ...

gingerbread men cookies

gingerbread men cookies

What would Christmas be without gingerbread men cookies? These little guys are an ongoing tradition often devoured straight from the tree by salivating children (and lets face it, adults too). The traditions of Christmas are really what make Christmas day such a joy. The traditions bring us together as a family and with loved ...

Where did the year go? Suddenly the shops are putting up their Christmas decorations and websites are churning out pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving in the States.

creamy beet & cauliflower buckwheat salad

One of my dear friends bought to my attention recently that I do not have a buckwheat salad on the website. Considering I basically live off them I thought I better hop to it and put one on here. We religiously have a buckwheat salad like this creamy beet & cauliflower buckwheat salad at ...

strawberry & coconut granola

strawberry & coconut granola

Its my first week back at clinic and diving into creating recipes again such as this strawberry & coconut granola after two life changing weeks away. I have to say it is hard coming back. Back down to earth. Getting married was an absolute whirlwind ride filled with so much emotion that at times I ...

chia & buckwheat pudding

chia & buckwheat pudding

I thought it was about time I put a chia & buckwheat pudding on the website. I eat them quite a lot, I get my clients to eat them, yet I haven’t posted one here. I think it’s because they seem so easy it’s not really a ‘recipe’ as such. Just a few ingredients ...

savoury goodie balls

savoury goodie balls

It seems these days all the ‘superfoods’ being sold in health food stores are catering more so for sweet alternatives. I find myself wondering at times like this, where did all the macro balls go? I remember as a teenager in the eighties (yes, the glorious eighties) wondering into health food stores and seeing ...

rosemary citrus cake

rosemary citrus cake

So in just over three weeks I am getting hitched. Yikes! The nerves have kicked in quite strongly and resulted in my stomach doing quite substantial summersaults every time I think about ‘the day’. These nerves are more like excited nerves. The only equivalent sensation I can compare it to is that ridiculous excitement ...
