24.01.2022 No it’s not a cob loaf.... Wholemeal spelt flour crust that has just hit the addition of favourite pie/quiche crusts! Nutritionally, spelt is very similar to wheat. However it is slightly higher in zinc and protein. About 80 percent of the protein in spelt is gluten so you still need to avoid it if you are coeliac on a gluten free diet.... 260g wholemeal spelt flour 100g olive oil 70g sesame seeds 90g chilled water 1 egg 1 1/2tsp apple cider vinegar Combine all ingredients together and knead until well combined. Roll into a ball and refrigerate for 30min. Roll out on a well floured surface and carefully place into pie dish/tray. Bake at 190 degrees C.

23.01.2022 Mushroom risotto Thanks to @taste_team 1 litre salt-reduced vegetable stock 2 tablespoons olive oil... 1 brown onion, finely chopped 1 1/2 cups arborio rice 1/2 cup dry white wine 3 garlic cloves, finely sliced 40g butter 500g Portabella mushrooms, coarsely chopped 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley 1 cup finely grated parmesan Heat the stock and 1 cup of water in a medium saucepan over high heat until almost boiling. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook the onion, stirring, for 5 mins or until tender. Stir in the rice until well coated. Stir in the wine and cook for 1 min or until wine has evaporated. Add 1 ladleful of stock mixture and gently stir until stock is absorbed. Repeat with the remaining stock mixture until the rice is tender with just a slight bite. Served with lightly steamed silverbeet @healthyharvestsydney

23.01.2022 Some nutrition fads come and go, without much scientific (or any) cred behind them. But other times there really is something in it. The science is emerging to ...elucidate all that fermented foods and drinks do for us - for gut health, but beyond that to many aspects of our physical and mental health (in part via their microbiome and gut effects). Bottom line is, these are traditional foods that have been part of the human diet for centuries - designed initially to make tasty foods and drinks and/or to preserve foods - but now proving to be good for us. What is interesting is that not all of them provide probiotics, but that the products of fermentation in the food or drink can confer the benefits nevertheless. Even dead bacteria can act within the gut as signalling molecules with beneficial outcomes. Pretty extraordinary don't you think? Sourdough bread is a good example. There aren't probiotics left, but the organic acids produced during fermentation lower the GI of the bread, add to the distinctive taste but also the microbes help break down some of the plant compounds present some people find hard to digest. That may explain why many people anecdotally say their gut feels better after sourdough compared to regular modern bread. Most of us are fine with all breads, but if you have a sensitive gut it's worth giving sourdough a go. You might be surprised to see cheese on there... but yes it is one of the most traditional European fermented foods. Indeed this is how cheese was first made - as well as yoghurt and kefir. Look for real cheese and not the highly processed stuff (like slices in individual plastic ) and you can indeed enjoy your cheese. Then we have kombucha - not just a fad, but do look for a good one made traditionally (hint it will be in the fridge for starters not at ambient temp on the supermarket shelf) and look on the label for a proven probiotic - fermented veg like kimchi and sauerkraut, and fermented soy beans giving us natto, miso and tempeh. For once it's a trend worth jumping on. See more

19.01.2022 CHICKPEA CRUST A few people have been asking me about the chickpea tart crust I made over the weekend, so thought I would share! Grain free, gluten free and super easy! 1 1/2 cups chickpea flour 1/2tsp fine sea salt... 64g coconut oil or softened unsalted butter 3Tbs cold water 1Tbs maple syrup In a medium bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour and salt.

19.01.2022 This warmer weather calls for SALAD SEASON! Bright colours, strong flavours and texture. Fresh herbs add that extra special touch

19.01.2022 Great grandmas rolling pin lending me a helping hand with my wholemeal tortillas ready for dinner tonight Minimising the packaged foods we consume with the aim to make as much from scratch as possible - not only does it save on packaging waste, yet also limits the additives and preservatives found in processed foods

17.01.2022 The thing I love most about receiving my weekly veg box from @healthyharvestsydney is deciding what to cook with the fresh ingredients!

15.01.2022 Home made refried beans - aint no tinned ones in this household! Using the power of herbs and spices for flavour rather than the copious amounts of salt in the tinned varieties. Definitely a consideration if you have a history of cardiac or kidney issues..

12.01.2022 Risotto is a real winter warmer - but sometimes it can be loaded with calories and saturated fat from the large quantities of butter, cheese and cream used in cooking. Not this recipe!

10.01.2022 SATURDAY post run . pre work

09.01.2022 I was never a huge fan of bok choy until we had it at a restaurant in a delicious soy, ginger and garlic sauce. Ever since, it is my go to way of cooking Asian greens! Did you know? Bok choy is an excellent source of vitamin A one cup gives you 60 per cent of your daily requirement. It is also a good source of vitamin C and is rich in vitamin K. Heat 1tsp of olive oil (you could use a dash of sesame) in a fry pan. Add 1 clove of finely chopped garlic and 1tsp grated ginger, fry until fragrant. Add greens and cook until tender (I lightly steamed my broccoli first) and then pour over 1-2Tbs soy sauce (or enough to cover your veg). Cook until most of soy sauce has coated greens.

09.01.2022 Got to experience the magic that is @firedoor_surryhills last night - if you’re a foodie like me, get yourself there

09.01.2022 Recommending my clients consume fish 2-3 times per week to ensure they obtain adequate omega 3 unsaturated fats only to realise I am guilty of not meeting these requirements!

Sprinkle with remaining feta, pumpkin seeds and cranberries @healthyharvestsydney

08.01.2022 Finding it hard to eat enough fish? Rich in omega 3 fats, which protect against inflammation, we should aim for 3 fish meals per week. The hardest part is keeping things interesting to make sure you enjoy your meals! Next time try this Chilli Ginger sauce : 3cm piece of ginger... 1 garlic clove 1 shallot 2 sprigs of coriander 1 chilli 1Tbs lemon juice 2Tbs soy sauce 2tsp honey Finely chop and mix all ingredients together. Paste 2Tbs over fish and bake in the oven/pan fry in a non stick pan. I served mine with steamed green veg (broccoli, zucchini, bok choy) and additional chilli ginger sauce See more

Combine all ingredients together and work into a dough, if too wet add some extra flour. Roll out between 2 sheets of baking paper. Cut out with cookie cutters and place on baking trays.

03.01.2022 nutritionsolutions

03.01.2022 eating out I often hear from my clients that they are hesitant to eat out in fear of sabotaging the hard work they have achieved. Food is often the centre of social events which are just as important for our health and well-being. My key points when eating out: don’t skip meals ahead of time in order to save room for the food when out. This will often result in over eating energy dense foods because you are ravenous!... opt for grilled options with plenty of veg / salad, hold the chips share an entree and/or dessert rather than having a three course meal to yourself go easy on the alcohol - drink a glass of water between each drink and ensure you remain hydrated See more

02.01.2022 Smooshed - love some greens with brekky

02.01.2022 What’s for dinner tonight?! Love the fresh summer flavours as we head into the warmer months. Experiment with salads - think fresh flavours, colour and texture Bean Salad... Green beans, steamed and refreshed under cold water 1 x can 4 bean mix 1/2 red capsicum, diced 1/2 green capsicum, diced 100g gherkins, diced 2 large handfuls of leafy greens 5 sprigs flat leaf parsley, diced 2 shallots, diced Italian dressing (olive oil, white wine vinegar, Italian herbs)

02.01.2022 Always excited to come home on a Monday and see what organic goodness @healthyharvestsydney has left on my doorstep

01.01.2022 Recent studies in Korea and China have been advertised stating that eggs may be linked to an increased risk of CVD and type 2 diabetes. However, take caution with interpreting these results! They are population based studies, not clinical studies, which may be skewed with positive associations isolated to particular population groups. Overall dietary patterns, physical activity and genetics effect the development of type 2 diabetes more than a single food such as effs. Diabetes Australia recommends that individuals with diabetes follow the Australian Dietary Guidelines which supports the consumption of eggs daily

01.01.2022 But seriously....how good are @healthyharvestsydney providing the fresh organic goods for this number
