gluten free vegan gut friendly scones

Scones! Man did you guys go crazy for these as soon as I posted them on Insta! Even just a picture of the promising dough got you all excited, let alone my Insta stories of me loosing my s**t over the freshly buttered trial scone just out of the oven. It seems we are ...

choc chilli chai

choc chilli chai

Up until this last week I’ve made my ridiculous stash of Chilli Chocolate Chai from The Love of Tea Byron Bay last. When I heard that Alli was closing up shop I panicked and bought jumbo sized bags to keep me going. The thing was, I knew no matter how much I bought that ...

vanilla macadamia 'cake' cookies

vanilla macadamia ‘cake’ cookies

These cookies actually saved me last week. I made them on the usually Wednesday ‘recipe creation day’ and then literally the next day came down with food poisoning or gastro.

They’ve had them boiled and mashed or maybe par roasted as part of the typical roast dinner. I’d say I was probably quite impartial to them myself until I discovered making ...

wild rice 'batch cooked' porridge

wild rice ‘batch cooked’ porridge

I’ve wanted to make a recipe using wild rice for some time now. The thing with wild rice is that it’s a little more obscure like millet, amaranth and teff.  It tends to sit on the outside of the circle of what most people are comfortable with using in their kitchen. Alternatively quinoa and buckwheat ...

millet salad w creamy mustard dressing

millet salad w creamy mustard dressing

We’ve been going a little nuts at The JCN Clinic spamming you with our passion for feeding your microbiota with a diversity of plant based foods. Partly it’s due to the functional testing that is now at our fingertips, but more so I’d say it is due to the abundance of research that is ...
