a life in balance
Wild salmon is a great source of anti-inflammatory omega 3 fats and tastes great cooked Asian-style with soy sauce, garlic and tahini. I always add fresh green chillies too, and sometimes fresh ginger. Use whatever health-boosting ingredients you have. One of my favourite combos is tahini and soy sauce and a scattering of sesame seeds. […]
We all know that guzzling down fruit juice is not good for health, so using green veggies instead for juicing is preferable. Here I’ve juiced some veggies and then blended them with basil, avocado and spirulina for a green drink that really packs a health punch, and will flood your body with nutrients to keep […]
I love this simple dish. I make it every few days and keep some in the fridge ready to add to salads or alongside fish. You can make it with olive oil and vinegar, or quality mayo depending on your tastes and dietary preferences. If you’re following a LCHF or keto diet, you can crank […]
This curry is from Rick Stein’s India book. It’s on p128 and he uses prawns, but I’ve also made it with fresh cod, as well as a selection of veggies for a delicious veg curry. The combination of turmeric, coconut milk, coconut flakes, mustard seeds and green chillies is simply sublime! This is one of […]
A delicious and simple supper. Fish, coconut and spices are a match made in heaven. I like it served with cauliflower “rice”. Broccoli is high in a beneficial phytochemical called sulforaphane known for its liver supporting, hormone-balancing and anti-carcinogenic properties, as well as being high in vitamin C, fibre and iron. Ingredients (serves 4): 1 […]
This smoothie is creamy enough to taste naughty thanks to the frozen banana. A delicious way to get your greens in a glass! Ingredients: 40g curly kale 200ml chilled water 1 tsp hemp seeds or hemp seed oil 100g frozen banana* 1tsp raw cacao powder, plus a sprinkle to garnish 1/4 vanilla pod seeds, scraped […]
This is a delicious pate that is quick to make and is packed with health-boosting ingredients – cashews, carrots, herbs, spices and tahini. Sesame seeds in the tahini pack a calcium punch, whilst the cashews are rich in zinc, magnesium and iron. Carrots are rich in fibre and betacarotene for healthy digestion and protection against […]
This recipe for cauliflower flat “bread” is perfect if you’re trying to cut down on bread, or if you’re following a gluten-free diet. (Great too for getting cauliflower into children if they’re fussing about their veggies.) It’s easy to make and can be used in variety of ways – gently warmed and served with avocado […]
So, I’ve been using my tahini and soy sauce (or Bragg’s Liquid Aminos) combo for many years. These two ingredients mixed together make an amazing dressing that goes well with… well just about anything. This evening on a rainy, chilly night in Brighton, England, with a wild salmon steak baking in the oven and some […]
What a delicious combination! Avocado and hemp seeds give you a perfect balance of healthy fats and an abundance of plant chemicals to make you feel great. Serve this with whatever you like: sourdough, pumpernickel, keto bread, or as a topping for fish or veg dishes, as a chunky dip, or my favourite way, eat […]
