Mexican Inspired Lettuce Cups
I have been promising this recipe to a few people for a while now and before the Mango season dries up I think I better get it to you all. This is a refreshing summer recipe. When I first made it I made it in individual bowls with big lettuce leaves, it was a very wholesome lunch. Recently though in the cooking classes here in the Byron shire we have been making it in small lettuce cups and...
Dairy Free Date Cake
Scanning through past posts I feel it is time for a sweet treat recipe. I realise I post savoury dishes as there is always some information I want to get to you. Very often with desserts or sweets there really isn't anything I can write about so this week its just a recipe.
Fresh & Vibrant Food Preparation Class plus iron rich snacks
Last Saturday's Seasonal Cooking Class was a delightful experience. I love the enthusiasm of people who come together to learn more about vegetarian cooking. I also enjoyed showing people how to include more iron and protein in their diets. This class was different for me in the way I planned it. Usually I plan what I want to include in the class and then go out and purchase all that is...
Vandana Shiva and Millet Recipes
The recent Uplift festival had many highlights for me and the first was listening to Vandana Shiva's talk. I had catered for Vandana Shiva the week prior to the festival and hadn't actually realised how famous or how influential she has been in the world. When catering for Vandana Shiva I instantly liked her but wasn't quite sure why. After hearing her speak I felt truly honored that I had...
2014 cooking classes, retreats, events and a refreshing recipe to see the new year in
Happy New Year Everyone. Wishing you a fabulous year ahead with wonderfully fresh, alive, healthy and incredibly delicious food all year long. I am very excited about the upcoming year. 2013 was a very good year for Veet's Cuisine, however quite challenging on a personal level. Many lessons learned and even though there were emotionally painful times I was able to still keep doing the thing I...
Seasonal Cooking Class in the Byron Bay Area
On the 18th January I am holding the first cooking class for the year. It will be in the Byron Bay Shire. It feels really good to see in the new year with an exciting new cooking class. The class will of course be vegetarian and is titled <em>Seasonal Cooking. </em>In the class we will make lots of different dishes with whatever is in season. There will be starters, main meals,...
Christmas Ideas and Healthy alternatives for Eating Salmon
This is an extra blog post this week to give you some wonderful ideas for Christmas and keep you from reaching for a packet salmon. I am not entirely sure why but in the last few weeks it has been bought to my attention how much salmon is being consumed these days.This led me to look into why people are eating salmon and how it is farmed. Alarmingly salmon is grown with very few ethics and in my...
Byron Bay Tempeh
In my very busy mind I had a great story to tell you about my love of tempeh. It was so eloquently put together but the reality is I now can't put thought to paper. So here is a much briefer account of my tempeh love affair.
When I was first introduced to tempeh I didn't quite understand the attraction. I persevered but the chemistry just wasn't there and I gave up even trying to...
Uplift Festival and Mango Salsa Recipe
My next stint of work is going to be big and as I write I am thinking about how utterly blessed I am to be catering for such incredible people. I start with catering lunches for Gangaji and Eli’s last retreat in Australia. It will be a complete honor to provide delicious food made of exceptionally high quality ingredients to a beautiful group of people. Then that retreat leads straight into...
Iron Rich Foods and Steamed Veg with Raisin Dressing
I woke up yesterday with this bright idea to write one complete blog post on Iron but realised I have too much information to share in one post. So I will take time to write blog posts over the next months getting as much information as I can to you on obtaining enough iron. I started to write some information about the different types of iron and gave myself a headache so for this blog post...
