Yes, this book does have a recipe for activated nuts (teeheehee). I’ve been wondering this week how Pete Evans will cope with hosting the upcoming 2015 series of MKR, with all the inevitable gluten, refined sugar and dairy-laden recipes. I wasn’t surprised when I read he quit the hosting gig shortly after the close of last… Continue reading Healthy Every Day by Pete Evans (Cookbook Review)

Chilli-Smothered Pork Vindaloo with Kale + Baked Curried Cauliflower Florets

Alison Murray — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 20:23:39 +0000

Is there any better comfort food than a fresh, spicy, healthy curry? (Answer: Nope!) One of my (current) favourite cookbooks is ‘660 Curries: The Gateway to Indian Cooking‘ by Raghavan Iyer, as I’ve never been steered wrong when making anything from this hefty tome (note: affiliate link). Buying this book four years ago was the starting point… Continue reading Chilli-Smothered Pork Vindaloo with Kale + Baked Curried Cauliflower Florets

I’ve become a bit obsessed with grass fed gelatin lately and have been looking for new ways to incorporate this nourishing food in my diet.

Grain-Free Chocolate Donuts + Protein Icing

Alison Murray — Fri, 31 Oct 2014 06:53:24 +0000

I’ve been teasing my social media followers for a few days with this recipe, ever since I posted the first pics of my chocolate donut experiments on Instagram last week. This is the third donut (doughnut?) recipe on the blog now, and the second grain-free offering made with fibre-rich coconut flour. It certainly won’t be… Continue reading Grain-Free Chocolate Donuts + Protein Icing

It seems like forever ago that I promised to share some specific recipes using Home-made Fermented Pineapple Vinegar – and no wonder, the original recipe was posted eight months ago!

Spicy Roasted Pumpkin Bread + Home-made Savoury Pumpkin Puree

Alison Murray — Thu, 23 Oct 2014 23:32:34 +0000

While discussing my favourite foods with a friend from LA recently I discovered some generalities about Americans and Australians – notably that many residents of the US don’t seem to find a savoury pumpkin dish enticing while myself and many Australian’s find it hard to grasp this popular vegetable as a dessert ingredient. Pumpkin with cinnamon and… Continue reading Spicy Roasted Pumpkin Bread + Home-made Savoury Pumpkin Puree

Raw Walnut-Goji Brownie Bites

Alison Murray — Tue, 21 Oct 2014 20:08:12 +0000

I intensely regret making these delicious, decadent raw brownie bites – they were so fudgey and fabulous that I’ve had to hide some in the freezer so Kam and I don’t eat them all at once!

Gut Healing Vegetable Stock

Alison Murray — Sun, 19 Oct 2014 07:12:09 +0000

I’m totally committed to my monthly ritual of making home-made stock on the stovetop or slowcooker. Sometimes it’s a flavourful chicken stock or a beef bone broth that I’m cackling over in my kitchen cauldron; other times it’s this flavourful vegetable stock that I’m simmering away. It’s become a ‘must have’ and if I run… Continue reading Gut Healing Vegetable Stock

Slow Cooker Pork Noodle Soup

Alison Murray — Thu, 09 Oct 2014 06:56:15 +0000

I’ve learnt this week that talking about copyright infringement on Facebook is an area fraught with danger. While Facebook fighting is a widespread and well-known issue, I’m honestly amazed by the vitriol I received after questioning a group I’m in about the practice of copy-pasting from blogs, due to copyright concerns and Facebook terms of service issues.

Product Review: Enjo Kitchen Care

Alison Murray — Mon, 01 Sep 2014 08:45:46 +0000

As a huge proponent of natural and homemade wellness products, the dangerous chemicals in many household cleaning products are very concerning to me. I’ve often seen advertisements for Enjo products advertised, but never really knew what they were (me: “It’s just a cleaning cloth, right?”).

Anti-Inflammatory Carrot & Three Ginger Soup

Inflammation is an essential part of our innate immunity for infection control, where acutely it can be beneficial in helping us heal from trauma. We experience this kind of inflammation as PRISH – Pain, Redness, Immobility, Swelling and Heat. To illustrate, imagine having the flu accompanied by a sore throat.

Sourdough Bread for Beginners

Alison Murray — Sun, 27 Jul 2014 12:01:29 +0000

All week I’ve been awaiting this moment. While playing with a jar of flour and water was fun and games, after seven days of feedings, stirrings, sour smells, bubbles and a batch of waffles I’m ready to bake up some bread.

This starter is showing some consistent activity now. The texture is of the culture is looser and more like pancake batter and is has easily double in size after feeding last night (maybe more).

So yesterday I mentioned I wasn’t going to feed my starter, as it was acting pretty sluggish in the cold weather. Well, just check it out after it hung out under my switched-on airconditioner last night. It’s a sourdough explosion and doubled in size after only an hour!

There’s not too much change for my starter from yesterday, it seems to have become a bit sluggish.
