25.01.2022 Veggies for breakfast this butternut pumpkin loaf was made with avocado almond meal and eggs... simple and easy and a way to drop some wheat and gain some veg. All eggs were sourced from free happy chickens who eat kitchen scraps and worms , and snails , slaters and caterpillars... and enjoy a cuddle.

15.01.2022 On, in the pre-news timeslot on both CH7 Metro and GWN7 Regional (IF YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ON HOLIDAY ). We all know the 7 News is on at 6pm so watch for me at 5.30pm tonightit is terrific exposure for Natalie Bennett Food, Menu Magazine and The Herdsman. Please let all your friends, business associates, workmates and family know to watch our own productions and support WA made content.... I personally was so perturbed by the story about the premier and his cabinet importing talent from over east during Border closure to create advertising for our state, there really is no good reason to use people outside of Western Australia, especially during these times. HOME in WA in it’s 21ST Year. If you happen to miss it don’t forget in a few days or so it is posted up on 7+ channel; this is the link.. https://7plus.com.au/home-in-wa #homeinwa #perthisok #menumagazine @theherdsmanmarket #ch7
14.01.2022 Gingerbread baguette French toast, what a Mothers Day gift*! I am working on making it intolerance friendly because it was delicious @abhis_bread. *gift from my Aunt to whole family.
13.01.2022 Homemade bounty bar version one, it’s keto, it’s raw... it’s pretty addictive. Another one for the book
12.01.2022 OMG its healthy So my protein chocolate nut bar set- sooo yummy. Recipe is pretty flexible so here goes- #freerecipes #veganchocolate 100g coconut oil 100g cacao butter 80g cacao powder 80g each sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, pitted dates, walnuts, linseeds... 40g each of chia seeds, maca powder I use agave to sweeten 50g- but a fine xylitol/ erythirtol or stevia to taste would work to taste. Melt the butter and oil together set aside. Grind remaining ingredients until courses ground. Mix the wet and dry ingredients and place in lined tin or dish. Scatter your favourite seed mix over the top and press stud in some raisins and cranberries. Try @seedsisterco or similar #chocolategoodness See more
12.01.2022 Using ground black rice as flour, delicious black rice cake, its not vegan with 7 backyard eggs... but the chicken were happy to donate them in exchange for a bucket of kitchen scraps :) #blackrice #chiffoncake #glutenfreebaking
12.01.2022 Did you catch these? Simple recipes on Fresh TV, if you have been on this page for a while you will know I love working with vegetables and plant based foods. I really work to crowd out undesirable foods with nutrient and fibre dense ones. A healthy you, is a happy you.
11.01.2022 Rarely I will have a little bit of small farmhouse cheese- mostly goat or sheep. I have to visit the farm to be able to enjoy it fully- mixed with these green figs, fresh from my tree is a simple, delicious summer lunch- tossed in Omega rich walnut oil, with additional crunchy walnuts with sweet soft dogs and the salty blue.. Oh my i@lo e salad days!
11.01.2022 These two immune powerhouses act with different compounds in ways that both support immunity. Turmeric is an immunomodulator, meaning it activates the T cells, white cells, B cells to vigilance, supporting the body to wellness. Ginger is effective not just against nausea but inflammation. Although acute inflammation is an important part of normal immune response, chronic inflammation can harm your immune system, potentially increasing your chances of illness, stay tuned to a new recipe for immune boosting using these delicious flavours this week!
10.01.2022 Just updating our album of bespoke intolerance friendly cakes :)
10.01.2022 The shortcut to Gluten free hot cross buns... This Easters recipe is running a little behind schedule (thanks homeschooling) - look out for Spelt Hot cross buns with homemade candied orange and choc bits later today. So here is my cheats healthy dairy, refined sugar and gluten free 2015 version...... Just in time for Easter!! Healthy Hot Cross Buns YUM. This #HotCross #glutenfree #superfood #Buns recipe, made for our #IamFoods Chocorama Easter class, last Sunday were such a hit. If gluten laden foods arent your friend, and smelling delicious fresh buns at the bakery has got you sad/sorely tempted/conflicted. .........you can still get some soft bouncy hot cross buns in. Now because I didnt want a recipe list as long as this page, and to make it easier I used a blend. MY TIP...look for a flour mix that says to add yeast, you need it for the flavour as well..avoid the cake mix style gluten free flours they are too soft to make rolls (or even mounds...) You can omit the egg for a vegan recipe if you wish, but add 10g extra oil and 1tbsp ground chia instead (you are giving away some texture though with this choice). Finally as a holiday recipe I wont go into "whats in it for us" nutritionally (as I usually do), but I will say Superfooded GF Hot Cross Buns are good for the soul :) (and tummy). 500g gluten-free pizza/ bread mix mix (we used Oragan) 10g salt 70g coconut oil 250g almond milk 70g coconut sugar 1 tbsp yeast 1 lemon, zest only* 1 orange, zest only* 1-2 tsp cinnamon* 1 tsp nutmeg tsp ground clove 1 egg 100g sultanas 40g goji berries 40g cranberries 40g inca berries Cross mixture 80g gluten free flour 60-80g water 20g oil Preheat oven to 170C. Place the coconut oil, almond milk salt, sugar, zest and spices over a low flame until just warm. (Thermomix 3 mins/37C/speed 2) Ensure the milk is blood temperature and add flour and yeast together. Knead to a ball and work for two minutes. (Thermomix 10 sec/speed 6, then, 2min/Interval speed). Place into a well grease bowl to rise and double in size. Split the dough into 9 equal portions and dollop or form into a bread roll sized portion placing them close together on the baking tray. Use cross mixture to make crosses on buns. Allow to rise a further 10 minutes then bake on 170C for 15-18 minutes or until golden and firm. Brush with agave syrup while hot. Tips You can also place chocolate coated cacao nibs in for a bit of chocolate crunch
10.01.2022 Spring is Salads- throw in some toasted nuts for crunch, some vegan cheese for salty, and some mushrooms for that umami hit...I like steamed veggies at this time of year still a bit warm to... salads can be a meal #eatplants #veganrecipes
09.01.2022 COULDNT FIND FLOUR Get inventive! My chocolate chickpea cake from 2013 its #glutenfree to! #chocolatecakerecipe Chick Pea & Chocolate Cake (gluten & dairy free)... This delicious moist chocky cake is a scrumptious chocolate fix. (Its healthy but dont tell anyone til you have eaten half the cake yourself.) 400g tin chickpeas (drained and rinsed) 80g strong black coffee 50g dark chocolate pieces 1 tsp vanilla extract 270g honey 40g cocoa powder 4 eggs 2 tsp baking powder (gluten free) 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda icing sugar to sprinkle (optional) Preheat oven to 180C. Line a 20cm round spring-form tin with baking paper. Place chickpeas, coffee and chocolate into food processor and mix on a medium speed until it forms a course paste. (Thermomix 10secs/speed 6). Scrape down sides of the mixing bowl. Add vanilla, honey, cocoa, eggs, baking powder and bicarb. Blend on a medium speed until incorporated well. (Thermomix 15secs/speed 5.) The mixture is very liquid (dont panic!) pour into prepared tin and place in the oven for 40-50 mins or until it springs back in the centre when pressed. Remove from oven and tin, allow to cool on a cake rack. Dust with cocoa powder or icing sugar and serve. Tip - place foil on the top of cake halfway through baking to prevent browning, and choose dairy free dark chocolate if you prefer.

03.01.2022 Chocolate is my boyfriend Cleansing on Valentines Day means creative ways to get your chocolate on, smooth creamy coconut and almond yoghurt are my base for this two toned marriage of berries and cacao. I played with the levels of each, according to craving lets see which one makes me swoon . Place 250g STRAWBERRIES with 250g VANILLA ALMOND YOGHURT blend with a dash of MONKFRUIT or AGAVE, you want the berries to burst with sweetness to counteract the bitter chocol...ate. Blend until smooth. Add 80g CHIA SEEDS. Pour in the glass. Halfway Done 250g thick COCONUT YOGHURT and 40g CACAO POWDER go into the blender now with 40g maple syrup and a teaspoon of VANILLA EXTRACT, add the 50g Chia seeds and blend until combined. Now layer. refrigerate for an hour or more. Decorate with fruit and enjoy straight out of the glass... or smothered places.... #valentinesdessert #veganvalentine #healthydesserts See more
02.01.2022 What a wonderful team building event we had last Friday! With one of the core values at AACDS being health and wellbeing, we were able to see a film calle...d Longevity by Kale Brock (journalist and filmmaker) where he talks about ageing happy, healthy and free of disease. We were also very privileged to take part in a Q & A with Kale Brock himself over zoom which was fantastic to see the AACDS Team engage in questions regarding the movie and their own health. We also had Natalie Bennett Food - Recipe Developer, Wholefood Cook who shared a wealth of knowledge about the importance of Integrated Health and the gut microbiome and how it plays a major role in our health and skin. Natalies food creations were all plant-based and absolutely delicious!

02.01.2022 The chill in the air and fresh truffles are nearer... this truffle egg savoury custard is actually simple- just truffle oil, seasoning, free range eggs and time. Baked bain-marie for 20-25 mins 180C, served on its own or with grilled mushrooms or sourdough. Slow food is king when we are given time to slow down. #truffleseason #slowfood #gourmet breakfast

01.01.2022 Being a locavore is an important contribution to the environment. Whats that mean? Eat Locally grown and produced foods. #Eatwa #Eatfresh #freshtv Not to mention the jobs you create, economy you boost and the wonderful produce our state has.... Thats the best thing about my segment with Fresh TV. My segments are sponsored, and its been a joy working with the team at The Herdsman in this series. The staff are so friendly and helpful, if you have a moment to crack a smile or share a story it comes right back at you <3 and you couldnt ask for nicer people to work with. While you know me here, for my vegan dishes, I have had obviously worked with all food in my many years in this industry. The produce you see is all free range, local and small producer based - as to many people, like me, traceability is becoming important. My usual "style" of healthy elements, crowding out ones less desirable (80/20) is displayed with this arrangement for the Herdsman. I hope you enjoy the segment :). The recipe is available in-store. Click photo below to see the show - my segment is at 4.25m in ;)
