A thousand year old rehydrating breakfast dish to kickstart your day
We have just completed the fourth module of the chef and lifestyle training: Macrobiotic cooking, wholefoods and Italian wholefoods. Both Paul Pitchford of Healing with Wholefoods and George Oshawa who developed the macrobiotic diet suggest starting breakfast with something moist to help re hydrate the body after its rest in the night. Miso soup is perfect for that and it is so easy to adapt to suit what your body feels like eating and what is in season.
Who likes pancakes for breakfast?
These pancakes were a treat for us a few Sunday mornings ago so it feels more than decadent to be having them again, but what the heck, I’m on holiday. I actually teach this recipe in the foundation module of the training so this is a treat for you to get this recipe now.
Banana Slice with vegan condensed milk
I had planned to only review recipes from Neighbourhood by Hetty Mckinnon. once every few months but just can’t help trying out another recipe from this gorgeous cookbook. As I flick through the book I think about what neighbourhood means to me personally. I live in a ‘hood’ very close to a small town which I have been in love with for the last ten or so years. It is a country town with a difference. We are two blocks down from the main drag and often I get frustrated with loud machinery, the constant obsession of people building and adding on to their houses and the very regular lawn mowing. However more often than not I have to pinch myself when I realise how quiet and how quaint the streets are where I live. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Times} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Times; min-height: 14.0px}
Black Rice and Coconut Porridge with Fruit Compote
Who of you out there are like me and struggle to know what to have for breakfast. I am not one of those people who can have the same thing for brekky everyday. I will go a week with having a smoothie and get tired of it, a few weeks on toast, a couple of days on fruit salad, a week on salad, in winter a few days of soup and occasionally a porridge here and there.

The Super Food of Super Foods (and it grows right here in Australia)
I can't stop raving about hemp seeds and I only discovered them a couple of years ago. A big bag accompanies me on any retreat I cater for and I am known to take them with me when I go away. In my eyes hemp seeds are really the super food of super foods as they are a complete protein. Along with soy beans and bea pollen they are the only complete protein in a plant based diet. In simple terms eating hemp seeds is like eating a piece of steak. Hemp seeds contain all nine essential amino acids which classifies it as a complete protein.
Gluten Free Date Scones
How to Make Scones Gluten Free and be Absolutely Delicious
Are you gluten free and a lover of scones and like me thought they were a thing of the past?
Or do you know someone who just salivates at the thought of scones but can't have them anymore since being diagnosed with gluten intolerance or Coeliac's disease?
If you answered yes to either of these questions and even if you didn't I can assure you, you will love this scone recipe.
Vegan Fritatta
One of the aspects of catering on retreats that I love so much is adapting food to suit people's individual dietary requirements. I love to know that everyone is going to be able to enjoy good food no matter what restrictions they have. I enjoy making them similar food to the main dishes on the menu, adjusting it in whatever way is needed. Often though when there is someone vegan on the retreat or someone with an egg allergy and I realise I have fritatta on the menu I am a bit stumped because fritatta is essentially egg.
