23.01.2022 At My Rainbow-Dreams, we love ginger! Ginger root is a truly incredible spice and is worthy of the term ‘superfood’. It's ingredients work as a tonic for the muscles and organs, giving them the message they can let go and relax. Ginger is antibacterial, antiviral and antiparasitic, giving tremendous support to the immune system. Our cooks often use it in curries and dhals, in our trademark Beetroot Salad, which goes in all our Rainbow Wraps and Gourmet Salad Bowls, and in our... famous Detox Juice. Feel free to request Ginger or Extra Ginger any time you order our fresh juices we’ll happily add it for no extra cost. Did I mention our Raw Ginger Slice packed with raw and ground ginger? Yum!

21.01.2022 The Story of Today’s Curry Vegan Matar Paneer Golapendu Ng is the manager and head chef at one of the Sri Chinmoy Centre’s most famous and popular restaurants. Ananda Fuara has been serving vegetarian food in the heart of San Francisco for over 35 years, and has won many an award in the process. Golapendu kindly shared his vegan Matar Paneer curry recipe with us to be included in our forthcoming cook book.... We hope you all enjoy this vegan model of a classic creamy tomato-based curry with tofu (instead of paneer cheese) and peas, lovingly prepared right here at My Rainbow-Dreams. https://www.myrainbowdreams.org//the-story-of-todays-curry See more

19.01.2022 Soup of the Day Ruby Red Beetroot & Fennel! This is the first time this soup will be gracing the menu of My Rainbow-Dreams. I was introduced to fennel not so long ago by a Latvian friend who loves and uses it all the time. Coming from a country town in NZ, we didn't really have this ‘exotic’ vegetable as an option, however after tasting some of my Latvian friend’s dishes I was hooked and started researching fennel recipes. https://www.myrainbowdreams.org//soup-of-the-day-ruby-red-

18.01.2022 All Hail the Salad Bowl! Now I am sure some of you think of salad in terms of: No way am I going to feel full and satisfied after eating some lettuce leaves, a bit of carrot and a few raw veges! I know that’s how I thought until I first tried a salad bowl at My Rainbow-Dreams! https://www.myrainbowdreams.org/news/the-gourmet-salad-bowl

18.01.2022 As many of you know, one of our dishes we have to make each week is the Eggplant Moussaka, which has been a staple on our menu for as many years as I can remember. And it usually sells out fast! Well that is until we started to make a double batch. More https://www.myrainbowdreams.org//eggplant-moussaka-our-top

15.01.2022 Fruits and veggies form their own rainbows... A colourful plate of fruit and vegetables is a delight to see and at an elite level can be a work of art. These gifts of Mother Earth also have tremendous health benefits for us. The natural colour in food is due to pigments - green chlorophylls; yellow-orange carotenoids; blue-purple anthocyanin; red betacyanin. The most vibrantly coloured being packed with the most nutrition. https://www.myrainbowdreams.org//the-rainbow-colours-of-fr

15.01.2022 Order your Simnel Easter Cake now! The Simnel is light fruit cake with two layers of marzipan to make it extra delicious one in the middle and one on the top.

13.01.2022 Oh spring is in the air! It is always such a beautiful time of year, watching the blossoms bursting forth from the trees, hearing the birds singing a little brighter as they welcome the warm weather, and basking in the sun as it gradually stretches out the days and shakes off Winter’s chill. https://www.myrainbowdreams.org/ne/the-mighty-maca-smoothie

12.01.2022 Today's Cake Queen Latifah's Spiced Honey Cake This lovely cake is from a New Zealand Cook Book, devised by a couple of beekeepers.

11.01.2022 Winter foods Winter is considered a sparse time for fruit and vegetables, but you’d be surprised what a variety of produce there is at this time! Seasonal produce is fresher, cheaper and has the most benefit for the planet, requiring less resources to transport and store. Seasonal fruit and veggies have a richer flavour and more sustenance, providing nutrients to match the time of year. https://www.myrainbowdreams.org//eating-seasonally-winter-

11.01.2022 My Rainbow-Dreams' top seller: Indian-Spiced Lentil Burger What’s so great about this burger, you ask? Well you take a lightly spiced homemade lentil pattie (baked each morning); add to that, some fresh-mixed Aryurvedic beetroot salad (with beetroot, carrot, radish, ginger and coriander combining for a great dosha-balancing and excellent digestive food in its own right); and some leafy greens (an important component of every healthy diet). Pop that in the middle of a freshly toasted bun (sour-dough or Turkish are standard, though this burger is happy to be served in an organic mountain wrap or on a Deeks gluten-free roll); lovingly apply some of our housemade satay sauce and yoghurt raita and your taste buds and tummy are going to be happy and fulfilled all afternoon https://www.myrainbowdreams.org//indian-spiced-lentil-burg
