slow roasted leeks w lemon & dill

Just last week I bought some lovely seasonal leeks from the spray free markets here where we live in Sandgate. We chopped them up and threw them in the roasting pan with our weekly batch cook up of vegetables for the days ahead. I also included some dill that needed to be used and ...

chocolate mint smoothie bowl

chocolate mint smoothie bowl

This weeks recipe post was a toss up between carrot chips and this smoothie bowl. Quite extreme ends of the spectrum I know. As usual I left it up to the influence of produce at our local market. On the day I was struck by the abundant bunches of new season mint alongside beautiful ...

sticky ginger tamari tofu & eggplant

sticky ginger tamari tofu & eggplant

It’s been a really long time since I have created a recipe for you using tofu. I shared my tempeh wraps quite a few weeks ago, but tofu-wise I don’t think I’ve given you anything since my scrambled tofu recipe. To be honest, I think this has mainly been influenced by some personal food ...

one-handed healthy bone bliss balls

This post is going to be shorter than usual because I’m using my built-in dictaphone due to one very sore broken wrist. I have shared my broken wrist story on my social media, however if this is news to you dear reader, I am currently getting around with my left arm in a permanent cast. ...

the best mushroom & leek buckwheat risotto

the best mushroom & leek buckwheat risotto

I’m sharing my secret to a creamy, oozy risotto with you today made with buckwheat as the base. Traditionally, to get the type of starchy gooey finish we associate with risotto you need the starch from arborio rice.

I am writing this blog post today in quite a manic state. I could lie and say it was all roses, but we have a no BS policy at the JCN Clinic. Why so manic? Well it’s a bit of an accumulation. Jess Cheney has flown the coup for maternity leave leaving a giant hole ...

This leek, cauliflower & parsnip soup recipe is a divider of camps. On one side sits the person that is ready to work on building the diversity of their microbiota and fuelling bacteria with prebiotic fuel, whilst on the other side sits those in the beginning stages of  gut treatment who often are avoiding the ...

texan style pulled beef brisket

I was going through some old recipe books this week, the type of old book’s that you handwrite your recipes into. Way before social media, blogs and Pinterest. I love the nostalgia of these types of books, tattered pages and torn out newspaper and magazine inserts. The tactile nature of this is something I miss in ...

gut friendly cheesy herb rolls

gut friendly cheesy herb rolls

These gut friendly cheesy herb rolls are an adaption, if not a fusion, of my Gut Friendly Bread and SIBO Friendly Bread recipes. The concept behind these rolls is to provide a more portable meal option for taking with you to work, or just out and about in general. I for one often toast ...

hubbard's  puttanesca

hubbard’s puttanesca

Well my usual Friday post time slot got slightly high-jacked thanks to a rather hectic week, so sorry to those who hoped to be making this puttanesca over the weekend just passed. Puttanesca is an authentic Italian dish. The name puttanesca actually refers to whore’s pasta, which I know is a little brash. The term comes from ...
