‘Mothers plant the seeds of love, that bloom forever’ I love this use of the chia seed. It makes for a great breakfast and really sets you up for the day. The coconut butter and cashews in the pudding add a lovey richness and the fruit a natural sweetness. Chia means strength in the Aztec …
‘Just say cheese’ When I turned to vegetarianism at the tender age of 13, one of the things I missed most was my mum’s roast lamb. She would make it at Christmas, Easter and on request for special occasions. One of the things that made up for giving this up was to get extra portions …
‘It’s much harder to be sad, when eating a cookie’ I love these cookies, as they take 5 minutes to make and 10 minutes to bake. They are great for kids, with the sweetness coming from the banana, protein from the nut/seed butter and great fibre from the oats. They are pretty much the equivalent …
‘Home is where heart is. Heart is where cookie is. Math clear: Home is cookie’ – Cookie Monster This recipe uses coconut flour, used predominantly by the paleo community for its high fibre, low carbohydrate quality. The flour has good fats and protein, is nutritive and satiating. Coconut flour absorbs more moisture than other flours, …
This is a great recipe, as it is a breakfast that tastes like chocolate cake. In fact, I would go as far as to say you could serve it as a dessert at a dinner party. If you follow my blog, you’ll know that I am a big fan of oats. In my recipes you’ll …
This is a simple recipe, full of protein, vitamins and minerals. It is a great kids or Mr. B snack, with an interesting contrast of sweet and savoury from the mix of the dates and the tahini/sesame seeds. The recipe is from @oliviathechef one of the most innovative chefs @iceculinary where I recently completed my …
This is taken from Divya Alter’s summer recipes. It’s a sweet-sour, creamy and refreshing and more nourishing than ice cream. The cashews make for a rich dessert so you don’t need much to feel satiated. That did not stop Mr. B from having two. The balance of sweet and sour is perfect. I reduced the …
‘Whenever the brain and heart fight, it’s always the liver that suffers’ The liver deserves some glory. At more than 3lbs, the liver is the size of a football and the human body’s second largest organ, behind the skin. It holds up to 13% of the bodies blood supply and is a star player in …
“Can’t get out of bed….please send help….or waffles. Actually just send waffles” This is a recipe inspired by the waffle we would make for brunch service at Divya’s Kitchen. It was made of lentil flour (freshly milled in the in-house mill, by yours truly) and rice flour (also freshly milled), freshly made buttermilk to name …
‘The belly rules the mind’ This is a great week-day dish, made in less than 15 minutes. It’s also a good way to get veggies onto your family plate or use up leftover veggies in the fridge. The tempeh supplies 50g of protein in just those 8oz, with extra protein coming from the edamame too. …
