Snacks. We all need them during the day, but are you reaching for the right ones? Your choices should fuel you, and keep your energy up consistently until your next meal. This dip has protein, carbs and good fats , and is a great way to dress up your vegetables. You may be surprised just [...]
Real Breakfast, Real Fast : Sweet Potato and Zucchini Pancakes
by Justine on 19. Apr, 2011 in Cooking, Recipes
“I don’t have time to cook breakfast.” It’s the biggest excuse I hear from people skipping the most important meal of the day. Truth be told what it actually means is that “I have no idea what to make”, ” I haven’t really thought about it” or ” I just don’t make it a priority”. [...]
Be a kitchen magician, turn your vegetables into dessert: Indian Carrot Pudding
by Justine on 05. Apr, 2011 in Cooking, Recipes
Who would have thought a vegetable dessert could be so darn tasty? Gone are the days of coaxing kids to eat their carrots, with promises of “seeing in the dark”. If I’d been served this as a youngster, I’d have saved hours of being held hostage at the dinner table. “Carrot Halwa” (or Indian Carrot [...]
Pumpkin, Basil and Goats Cheese Frittata (and other amazing flavours)
by Justine on 28. Mar, 2011 in Friday Night Feast, Nutrition, Recipes
I’ve fallen in love with frittatas. They’re delicious, nutritious, quick and easy and they require everyday ingredients most of us have on hand. Get creative with flavours and let your tastebuds guide you into frittata heaven. Instead of making one big one, make some minis by pouring the mixture into muffin pans. They taste great [...]
Cortido (Latin American Sauerkraut) / Cabbage & Apple Salsa
by Justine on 15. Mar, 2011 in Fermented Foods, Nutrition
Okay, it’s time to for another recipe featuring one of my favourite foods – Cabbage. As Captain Cook always knew, the benefits of Vitamin C, fibre and other protective (read cancer inhibiting) substances combined with the health benefits of lact-fermentation make it THE most valuable veggie to have on your menu. So allow me introduce [...]

by Justine on 09. Feb, 2011 in Cooking, Education, Fermented Foods, Friday Night Feast

Since it’s beginning late last year, each gathering brings friendly new faces providing real food recipes (made with love) that promise to curl your toes and tickle your tastebuds! Just when we think it [...]
The taste of Summer: Pineapple & Apple Salsa
by Justine on 26. Nov, 2010 in Cooking, Fermented Foods, Recipes
I’m not going to lie -this salsa is TO DIE FOR, and it has Summer written all over it! It tastes best when served on a warm evening, consumed watching a beautiful magenta sunset, whilst a gentle breeze blows and the sound of a ukelele plays in the background. Or hey, any other setting will [...]
Sweet Potato, Banana & Coconut Cream Pie
by Justine on 25. Nov, 2010 in Cooking, Nutrition, Recipes
It’s decadent, it’s gooey and even better, it’s full of nourishing ingredients to satisfy your tastebuds, body and soul! Be mindful you only need a small slice to carry you off into Pie Heaven!
Welcome to Friday Night Feasts!
by Justine on 18. Nov, 2010 in Cooking, Friday Night Feast, Nutrition
What do you get when you put together a group of health-conscious people, home-cooked nourishing meals and great conversation? Well hold onto your hats boys and girls you’re about to find out! There’s a whole new reason to look forward to Fridays. And it’s kind of a big deal. If you care about eating well, [...]
Coconut Beetroot Dressing (or is it a Soup?)
by Justine on 09. Nov, 2010 in Cooking, Nutrition, Recipes
I’m all for recipes that can be consumed a number of ways. This one just became a firm favourite, because (not only is beetroot really great for you and your digestion) as I discovered, can also be consumed as a refreshing cup of goodness in warmer weather, in a shot glass for a little pick-me-up, or as a delicious dressing to flavour [...]
