‘If you focus only on the seeds of the watermelon, you miss the sweetness of the meat’ I am currently cooking in London for my brother and sister-in-law and am lucky that are opening to trying everything.

‘Let your spine be loose like seaweed’ This quote comes from Eoin Finn, a pro surfer who is talking about his recommended form in both surfing and yoga. It is common to think that in both of these art forms you need to hold your body in perfect forms. However, this rigidity can be harmful, …
‘At birth we are red-faced, round, intense, pure. The crimson fire of universal consciousness burns in us.

‘Good food is very often, even most often, simple food’. Anthony Bourdain This is an easy, one pot dish. It was made by my grandma on fasting days, as it does not contain onions or garlic. Onions and garlic are seen to excite the mind and so are often omitted when fasting. If you have …
