On a recent trip to the coast I thought, wouldn’t it be fun to run a wholefood plant-based cafe by the sea? Just me and Hugo, living the simple life 👩🏻‍🍳🐶 far far away from the city lights 🌃

Traveling down that train of thought I began to think of menu items, and one of them is tonight’s dinner.

I present to you, Burrito Bowl a la Cafe Hugo.

- lettuce, cucumber, Spanish olive salad topped with tomato, onion, coriander, dill, lime salsa
- mixed grain rice
- jackfruit and azuki bean chilli sin carne
- spiced tofu tempeh strips baked till crisp
- with a side of air fried tortilla chips

Who wants to run away to the sea with me? 🙋🏻‍♀️

Waffles! Is there another word in the English language that can inspire so much joy? Crumpets, maybe.

This is a ‘recipe’ for a super easy GF, vegan, no-recipe waffle mix which I keep on hand, to make waffles whenever inspiration strikes. Invest in a good quality waffle iron- I bought mine from during the last lockdown.

In a large glass jar, add equal parts buckwheat flour and green banana flour till about 2/3 full. Add approximate amounts of: 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon sea salt, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground wattle seeds, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder, 2 tablespoon chia seeds. Stir with a spoon to combine, then close the lid and shake the whole jar vigorously for a minute.

To make waffles, simply measure out some of the above mix, add enough milk to create a pancakey batter and whisk well. Add a smidge of oil and leave to sit for 5 minutes.

That’s it!!

I like mine topped with fresh seasonal fruit and some excellent maple syrup.

Buckwheat is an excellent source of minerals and essential amino acids, and green banana flour is chock full of resistant starch which keeps your gut healthy. Win win!

👩🏻‍🍳 Baked Kimchi Fried Rice

I have been cooking up a storm lately, as I found myself suddenly with a lot of free time on my hands thanks to a string of cancelled holidays. Out of the many new recipes I have been testing, this recipe is a revelation - oven baked ‘fried’ rice! So easy, and healthier than the wok fried original as it is uses much less oil.

Preheat oven to 200C.
In a medium sized baking tray or cast iron casserole pan, add 1.5 cups medium or long grain white rice, 2 cups veg stock, 1 cup chopped kimchi, 1 cup chopped onion, 1 cup chopped celery (or carrot, peas or corn), 1 tablespoon cooking sake, 1 tablespoon shoyu or tamari, 1 tablespoon fish sauce and 1 tablespoon Korean chilli powder. Stir well to combine. Cover and bake for 45 mins. Remove from oven, and scatter two cups of chopped spiced tofu and thinly sliced long green chilies. Do not stir, place back in the oven, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and allow to rest, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove lid, drizzle with a generous amount of toasted sesame oil and chopped spring onions. Stir through to combine well and enjoy!

This recipe makes enough for four hungry adults, and we had it with a side of pickled celery and cucumber salad tonight, but a fried egg on top would work well too.

I’m already looking forward to having leftovers for breakfast tomorrow! 🤭

The ancient Masters were profound and subtle.
Their wisdom was unfathomable.
There is no way to describe it;
all we can describe is their appearance.

They were careful
as someone crossing an iced-over stream.
Alert as a warrior in enemy territory.
Courteous as a guest.
Fluid as melting ice.
Shapable as a block of wood.
Receptive as a valley.
Clear as a glass of water.

Tao Te Ching, Verse 15 (excerpt)
Written by Lao Tsu, 300 B.C.

🧙🏽‍♀️ Nothing makes me feel more like a village witch than when I am working with energetic medicine like homeopathy and flower essences.

🦄 We are more than the chemical constituents that make up our cells, organs, tissues and the physical body. That which animates us is the magical essence that we call vital force, or Qi.

✨By working with your body’s own unique essence, energetic medicine can bring on seemingly miraculous results when other things have failed, or become the key which unlocks healing on all levels.

🧪 I love using homeopathy for female hormonal issues, infertility, chronic and persistent conditions such as digestive complaints, UTI and more. Of course ensuring you follow a healthy diet, undertake regular exercise and addressing other barriers to health are all part of the treatment strategy.

👋 Get in touch via DM or my website if you have any questions, or want to book in a consult.

Yes I have succumbed to the lure of bread baking in my iso-desperation. 👩🏻‍🍳🥖

After a failed attempt to start my own sourdough culture, I decided to try an easy, overnight spelt bread recipe that uses only 4 ingredients and kinda sorta looks like a real sourdough.

Try it, it’s really fun- the only special ‘equipment’ you need is a cast iron Dutch oven like

Ingredients
500g whole meal spelt flour
2 teaspoons sea salt
1/4 teaspoon yeast
2 cups room temperature water

Instructions
The night before, combine all dry ingredients in a big bowl. Stir in the water in small amounts, using a silicone spatula, mixing as you go. You may need more or less water depending on the flour you are using- but you should end up with a fairly sticky looking dough. No need to mix or knead. Cover the bowl and leave to proof overnight, for 12-16 hours.
In the morning, preheat the oven to 230 degrees, with a Dutch oven inside.
Using a silicone spatula, fold the raised dough over on itself a few times, and tip it out onto a piece of baking paper on your counter. Dust the top lightly with flour and cover with a tea towel and let it proof while the oven warms up- at least 30 minutes.
Take the whole thing - baking paper and all, and place in the hot Dutch oven and bake, with lid on, for 30 minutes.
Reduce heat to 200 and bake, uncovered for 15-25 minutes.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing and eating!💥

Has anyone else been cooking up a storm to stay sane during ?

Bought these cute vintage French pie dishes from yesterday! 🤩

Looking forward to trying the famed snapper pie recipe from in these babies… Tender fillets of snapper bathed in truffle scented soubise sauce, topped with buttery puff pastry. It was such an iconic dish, I had it every time I went to the restaurant.

Gone but not forgotten… 🥺

I do love a good fire, and I use my mini candle daily to light up from in Surry Hills.

It’s a simple daily ritual I practice to energetically reset my mind and find clarity.

🏝 Earlier this month I was lucky enough to spend five nights at the incomparable

💕 It was a privilege to be able to snorkel, cycle, hike and relax in such pristine natural beauty.

😅 No mobile phone coverage meant that I had to really unplug- took some getting used to but honestly, it was one of the best things about the trip.

🥂 What an amazing start to 2021, to say the least! May the good vibes continue into the new year and beyond. 🖖🏾

Did you know that less than 20% of people who lose weight are successful at keeping it off? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You probably have tried many different diets and detoxes before but they didn’t work, or you couldn’t sustain the weight loss over the long term. Exercise programs you have tried before may have left you feeling more tired and hungry. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know how this feels because I have been there before!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have created a 4 week Spring Cleanse and Detox Program to reset your health so you never have to go on a fad diet again. Imagine waking up in the morning, feeling great at your ideal weight and full of energy after a night of restful sleep.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Head over to my website (link in bio) for more info.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Program kicks off on Monday 21 September, and sign up closes at midnight, 16 September. So don't wait, join now! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Photographed at my local fruit and veg shop Louis' on Glebe Point Road, I love this picture because it has some of my favourite vegetables! Yes you read that right- literally kale, broccoli and broccolini are three of my favourite vegetables.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Along with cauliflower, rocket, radish, daikon, kohlrabi, turnips, cabbage, mustard greens watercress, brussels sprouts, bok choy and other Asian greens, they belong to the brassica family of vegetables. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These veggies extra good for you because they contain sulforaphane, a potent compound which protects the liver by boosting detoxification pathways and antioxidant levels. In particular, broccoli sprouts is the richest source of sulforaphane, and it is also available in capsule or powder form as nutritional supplement though I always prefer to eat the real food.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you feel like your liver could use some pick-me up, include at least 1 serve of the above mentioned vegetables in your diet every day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Why detox?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As the key organ of detoxification of the body, your liver works hard to keep you well and healthy. In a perfect world where we only ate organic food, lived and moved in harmony with nature and seasons, our liver and other organs of elimination would function in perfect order. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, we live in a toxic world where exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals and synthetic substances is unavoidable, not to mention our daily intake of processed food, sugar, alcohol, prescription medications, antibiotics, food additives and preservatives. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Therefore, a detox is more like an annual spring clean for your body, like how you might clean your house in spring as a symbolic way to renew and regenerate after winter. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To try a simple 7 day detox, head on over to my website to download my free PDF guide. Or sign up to my 4 week Spring Cleanse and Detox program, which kicks off on Monday 21 September! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Let's talk about gut, baby! 💁🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know us natural health types go on about the importance of gut health, but that's only because it's true. 🤓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All of our cells are made up of the nutrients that absorb from the food that we eat. In order to properly absorb the nutrients, we need a healthy, functioning digestive system. 🥗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A lot of the waste products including our hormones, are processed by the liver then ultimately eliminated by the gut. 💩⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you suffer from mineral deficiencies, experience bloating, see undigested foods in your stool, or you suffer constipation or diarrhoea on a regular basis, your gut may be in need of a little TLC. 💚⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That is why during my Spring Cleanse and Detox Program, week 1 is all about the gut and digestion. We use yoga therapy to open up the front and optimise your digestive function, and instil dietary changes to promote good gut health, including:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 eating slowly, mindfully and chewing well ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 including plenty of plant-based foods to feed the good bacteria (such as my tempeh rice paper roll as pictured)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉removing alcohol, sugar, saturated fats and excessive meat⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
