🍄✨ Meet the Queen of Medicinal Mushrooms - Reishi! ✨🍄

This warming elixir has become my go-to morning ritual, and I'm excited to share why this ancient superfood deserves a place in your daily routine.

Reishi has been revered for over 4000 years as one of the most powerful immune-boosting fungi on our planet. When consumed regularly, this incredible mushroom works to strengthen your immune system whilst calming the mind. Perfect for our busy modern lives.

What I love about this latte is how it satisfies that coffee craving with its naturally bitter, rich flavour, but without the caffeine highs and crashes. The Ceylon cinnamon adds warmth whilst helping to stabilise blood sugar levels - making this the perfect companion for anyone wanting to balance their sugar intake and cravings.

🌟 REISHI WARMING LATTE 🌟

INGREDIENTS:
• 220ml homemade nut milk (or Nutty Bruce)
• 1/2-3/4 tsp high-quality Reishi extract
• 1/4 tsp vanilla paste/seeds/powder
• 1 tsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp extra virgin coconut oil or macadamia oil
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

OPTIONAL SUPERBOOSTS:
• 1/4 tsp lucuma powder
• 1/4 tsp mesquite powder

METHOD:
1. Bring all ingredients to a gentle simmer
2. Blend for 20 seconds in bullet blender
3. Pour into your favourite mug & dust with cinnamon

I love enjoying this after breakfast to kickstart my working day, or sharing it with friends and family. Your body, mind and spirit will thank you for this nourishing ritual!

VANILLA BUCKWHEAT PORRIDGE, CRUSHED PECANS & GINGER-SPICED FIG COMPOTE

During wet and cooler days, it's recommended to start off the day with some thing that is warming.

The warmth of the food ensures our body isn't over drawing from it's own energy resources while also supporting our stomachs optimal digestive temperature of 37-42 degrees celsius.

It's between these temperatures that the stomach can most easily produce the much needed digestive enzymes to help break down our food. Either way, when it's cold and wet outside your intuition will guide you to what it needs. This might just be it.

On a scale of 1-10, how ready are you to get in the kitchen and make this? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Agni Oil; A simple digestive aid

Many spices are great for stimulating and supporting healthy digestion, and these 4 are some of the best. ⠀

While the cumin and black pepper have a more fiery and stimulating effect (Known as Agni or digestive fire) in breaking down foods and extracting their beneficial nutrients, coriander seeds and fennel seeds are more balanced and hold some cooling properties also which act more calmative while not interfering with the fire (Agni).

Agni is very important when eating fatty, rich and starchy foods as our bodies can often need an extra finery boost to break them down. Most likely why rich, coconut-based curries are often spicy!

Here’s a simple recipe to drizzle on your curries, soups, savoury breakfast, roast veggies or use as a base for soups, braised etc. ⠀

INGREDIENTS:
2 tbsp each: Coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds
1 tsp cracked black pepper
1 cup cold-pressed oil (sesame, almond, or macadamia)

METHOD:
1. In a dry pan over medium-low heat, toast all the spices until fragrant (about 2-3 minutes).
2. Remove the pan from the heat and pour in the oil. 3. Swirl the pan to let the residual heat infuse the oil.
4. Let it cool completely to room temperature.
Pour into a clean glass jar and seal.

Enjoy!

This compote is a great way to sweeten up many of our breakfast favourites. Whether it be porridge, chia pudding or muesli, this aromatic delectable goodie will always please the taste buds.

The best thing is that it’s super easy to make and lasts weeks in the fridge. I sometimes sneak a dollop for this onto my vanilla ice cream and generously “sprinkle” on some toasted almonds. ⠀
The spices in the recipe are an optional bonus if you want to really have an aromatic and extra spicy kick, but not necessary. Except the vanilla, there’s always a need for vanilla.

One of my favourite ways to create a truly captivating dish is to play with contrast; the coolness of a creamy dip against the vibrant warmth of a spiced chilli oil.

The eye is drawn to the colour, and the palate is awakened by the dance between textures.

But this isn't just for flavour. It’s a way to support digestion. The warming spices like cumin and coriander stimulate our digestive fire, making the richer elements of the dip easier for the body to welcome and break down.

💭 What are your favourite (unexpected) flavour pairings that balance each other out?
