Cauliflower Salsa
This week’s recipe is up there as one of my favourite salads. For me I find cooked cauliflower difficult to digest but raw cauliflower feels great in my system. Packed with vitamin C and containing a good source of vitamin K it works well with vegetables rich in iron increasing the chance of the body absorbing the iron. So with the parsley in this dish you are on to a winner. I first created this recipe when on a low carbohydrate diet, the cauliflower being a substitute for quinoa or cracked wheat in a tabbouleh. It lasts well in the fridge overnight and marinates further.
Beetroot, Fennel and Mint Salad with Turmeric Tempeh
Last Monday unbeknown to one another, Makrand (my partner) and I had been into Mullumbimby and visited the local herbal dispensary, Mullum Herbals. Both of us for different ailments and both within minutes of each other. My inquiry was not an ailment as such but a question on what herbs to take for anxiety and at the end of the conversation the lovely naturopath said that anxiety can be caused from lack of iron. The alarm bells rang, last week I had been feeling quite anxious and also was feeling rather low in iron at the same time.
Denise Latham's Lettuces and In Between Season's Salad Recipe
A year into my business I started to frequent the New Brighton Farmers Market as well as the Byron Bay farmers market. On my first visit I came across a stall selling organic lettuces. Prior to this visit I had been buying an organic lettuce mix and was getting a relatively good price on it. However, when I saw these lettuces at New Brighton Farmers market there was something quite different about them, they did look quite small though and for $2 a head I was unsure if I could afford them.
