So beetroot and potato salads aside, we are about 2 weeks away from having our house on the market! Currently I am working from home while my hubby and my parents are painting the outside of the house. The carpets down (not sure on the colour but what can you do?) and the glass is ...
Parsnips are one of those under utilised vegetables. No one really knows what to do with them or just plainly doesn’t like them. 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 ...
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 ...
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 ...

As someone who can’t eat dairy without regretting it, anything in the dairy rip off category is going to spike my radar. Over the years I’ve dabbled in the good and the bad of them all. Dairy free milks that taste like creamy heaven through to versions that taste like lolly water. Dairy free ...
I know, another ball recipe. The thing is, you guys keep asking for more of them. Especially in clinic. I get it though. You fall in love with one recipe and make it to death, then move on to the next. Before you know it you are starting to hanker for something new. Something ...
So I bought a yam. Well it was labelled a yam. Then I got home and googled ‘yam’ and was overwhelmed with confusion as to what a yam actually was. You would think that I would know, being a foodie obsessed Nutritionist and all. I thought I was all over it, but turns out ...
