As the weather gets a little colder, there’s a temptation to move to only cooked foods. However, a few salads here and there still have their place, especially for lunches-on-the-go, barbeques, or as a side dish to a warming winter’s meal like a lamb roast or slow cooked beef. Here’s a simple wholefood quinoa…

Date-Free Caramel Chocolates
Given that it’s nearly Easter and all, I was inspired to make a healthier version of those ol’ skool caramel creme eggs (you know the ones!). Because who said Easter had to be unhealthy? It’s fairly well known in the raw food world that if you want to make a dairy free, gluten free, paleo caramel,…
Caramel Peanut Smoothie
This smoothie is decadent and dreamy… it’s seriously high in protein, and sooooo filling! If you think you can’t get through till lunch just on one smoothie… I dare you to try this one. Warning: Please don’t use just any peanut butter for this recipe. Most commercial peanut butters are not good for you at all. Once…
Chilli Chicken With Rich Tomato Sauce
This recipe was a total accident. Normally when I make something like this I would add mushrooms and kale. However, I started cooking the casserole, turned it down to a gentle simmer, and then dashed out the door to pick something up from a friend’s place… and forgot to add the mushrooms! And then I went…

Zucchini Pasta with a Lamb and Eggplant Twist
This recipe all started when I picked up a bag of eggplants for $2 from a roadside stall in Byron Bay. I don’t usually eat a lot of eggplant, but these ones looked particularly good, and besides… it was only $2! I couldn’t resist. Initially, I had the idea to pop some spinach through this…
Inca Choc Clusters
I love, love, love inca berries right now. They’re sour and sweet all at the same time, and totally addictive. Pair them with the sweetness of maple syrup and some dark chocolate and they truly come alive! Raw “bark” style raw chocolate is super easy to make. It’s very forgiving – if you don’t have a baking…

These gluten free, paleo-friendly gingerbread bliss balls tick all the boxes… and they make a great Christmas gift too! Ginger is fantastic for improving circulation and calming the digestive system, so you can…
how to make the perfect boiled egg (it’s really simple!)
For so many years, my hard boiled eggs were dry, dull, and boring. I’d place them gently them in cold water, bring them to the boil and then cook the crap out of them for 10 minutes (or sometimes longer if I forgot to set a timer!). I was doing it all wrong. I needed to treat…
roast veggies with tahini, honey and dukkah
Although we’re heading towards summer, the nights can still be quite chilly. Green smoothies, salads and raw foods may be all well and good during the day when it’s warm outside, but when evening rolls around it’s comforting to come home to a warming, nourishing dinner with side dishes like this one. This recipe has it…
