Why I don't think diets work, and what does

Mar 10, 2018 | Uncategorised

The term diet should be applied to the food you eat, your own personal eating plan; however, it has come to be synonymous with a specific and restrictive formulated meal and nutrition plan. When we follow another person’s diet plan we are not eating our own foods, and this means that the diet does not belong to us. Once we have completed the diet plan, whether that be to achieve a weight loss goal, or for a specific time period (such as 30 day plans); we then revert back to our own eating...

February has been my first full month at home this year, after being lucky enough to have an amazing break over Christmas and New Year in Australia and New Zealand. The builders have pretty much gone, and the extensions almost finished, although work is due to start on the kitchen soon (not looking forward to all that dust again) I’m disappointed with how much I’ve spent in the chain supermarkets this month, and I think it is a combination of needing to buy ingredients for some recipe testing...

One of my earliest favourites, and a recipe I return to time and time again,...

Veg Pulp Patties

Feb 19, 2018 | Food and Recipes

I hate waste so when I bought a juicer and realised how much was in the pulp bin I had to find a way of using it up. I've called them patties, as I originally wanted to make a ball (reminiscent of a meat ball) but you need a flat surface in order to get a nice fried crust. They are great as vegan burgers if you make them into bigger patties. The taste of your pattie will be different every time you make these, unless you have the same juice every day, as it will depend on the mix of fruit...
