25.01.2022 HOME MADE SAUERKRAUT Super easy. Super delicious. The best part of being home bound is getting around to all those things you want to do make from scratch but end up buying due to time constraints. As a cafe owner, I am cooking all of the time but need to grab convenient options the same as everybody else. Sauerkraut though really is so quick and easy to throw together its worth putting on your list. Cabbages are in abundance at the moment and huge, so you will get four jars out of one large cabbage. Equating to around $2.50 per jar. (Organic cabbage that is.) Fantastic for guy health and a wonderful flavour and texture to accompany meal. #vegan #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #sauerkraut #homemade #jerf #guthealth #fermentedfoods #organic #plantbasedwholefoods #healthyfood

I want to show you all how easy and delicious plant based cooking can be. Just like this spring roll salad I made the other night. Another super simple, veggie loaded meal that can be thrown together in less than 15 minutes. #quickmeals #vegan #organic #easyrecipes #healthyrecipes #healthyfood #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #nutritious #homecooking See more

24.01.2022 COLLAGEN BLISS BALLS We had a special order for a skin clinic that integrates health and well-being alongside its treatments. I thoroughly enjoyed delving into the nutritional needs of our bodies to provide the building blocks required to produce collagen. Eating collagen from animal cruelty sources is not needed. Protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins A & C, zinc and copper are. Using organic activated nuts, seeds, acerola cherries, Kakadu plum, ceremonial matcha, @lov...ing_earth cacao and lots of love, this is what we produced. We hope their clients love them as much as we do. Beauty from the inside out. #blissballs #collagen #naturalbeauty #youarewhatyoueat #vegan #skinhealth #plantbasedskincare #plantbased #healthyeating #wellbeing #healthyskin #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #veganfood #crueltyfree @thedoctorstudio @cosmetic1_media @loving_earth See more

23.01.2022 GET A HEAD OF CABBAGE This humble and simple vegetable packs a punch in the nutrition stakes and a winner for your gut health. One cup alone provides half your daily requirements of Vitamin C and has plenty of gut friendly fibre. The hardest is last is fitting it in your fridge. We are making a huge batch of sauerkraut with ours. Perfect to share with friends. #guthealth #vegan #vegetarian #healthyfood #immunityboost #immunity #vitaminc #vitc #plantbased #plantbasedskincare #plantbasedwholefoods

23.01.2022 #Repost @the_french_hack Cest le 1er Mai. La fête du travail. Today is a public holiday in France. The Coronavirus lockdown must bring a different feel this year. This day celebrates workers and their rights. The right to have a day off and work 8h seem like an obvious right but it wasnt always so. We offer a little bunch or even one stem of Lily of the Valley, Le muguet , to people we love and see on that day. It flowers in May for a very short time and is meant to ...bring luck. Its a lovely day, early spring is so special. Alors, joyeux 1er Mai à vous tous ! #learnfrench #frenchcustom #le1ermai #lafetedutravail #frenchculture #frenchdose #ilovefrench #jeparlefrançais #enfrançais #laculture #lemuguet #examprep #frenchwords #studyfrench #francophile #francophiles #fle #frenchtutor #frenchtutoring #frenchstudy #frenchstudent #frenchstudying #enfrançaissilvousplait See more

22.01.2022 I recently cooked lentil dahl and chapati to support my friends at The Roadie Show. Check them out and show your support for out of work crew.

21.01.2022 KOMBUCHA One week in to a fresh batch of kombucha! Its been fun making lots of food and drinks from scratch during COVID. Nurturing your gut health is so important. So to make your own is a wonderful hands on ritual where you can add your own love and energy into literally into your own body. And what a fabulous drink to share with friends and family! We are going to try rose & lemon for Luc and lemon and ginger for me. What are your favourite flavours to add in the second fermentation? #kombucha #kombuchabrewing #kombuchalove #guthealth #microbiome #vegan #plantbased #homecooking #homemade #madewithlove #loveyourguts #wholefoods #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #dryjuly #vegansofig

21.01.2022 CHICKPEA MASALA OR CHANNA DAHL One of my most favourite curries to make. So quick and easy and delicious. If you prefer it a bit creamier, remove a cup, purée and then return to the pot. Dont be put off soaking your own legumes. Its just a matter of popping them in a pot before bed, drawing and finding them when you wake and simmering them whilst you are getting ready for your day. Soaked chickpeas are perfect for making falafel. Soaked and cooked chickpeas for Hummos, sa...lads, curries, soups and stews. The possibilities are endless. And they taste SO much better. You can freeze them too! #chickpeamasala #vegan #veganfood #plantbased #chanadal #indianfood #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedcooking #vegancooking #veganindianfood #wholefoods #wholefoodsplantbased #jerf #healthyfood #crueltyfree #dairyfree #eggfree #nutfree #organic @ TOFWD* the organic food & wine deli See more

20.01.2022 Whats cooking? Rest assured I have been cooking up a storm at home and using friends and neighbours as guinea pigs for some nutritious plant based and vegan winter meals when we reopen. Légumes are some of the most underrated foods on the planet. They are excellent sources of dietary fiber, protein, B vitamins and many other important vitamins and minerals. they can help reduce blood sugar, improve cholesterol levels and help maintain a healthy gut. Pictured are my smoky home style baked beans. They even got the thumbs up from a fussy ten year old! #vegan #veganfood #plantbased #healthyfood #guthealth #wholefoods #wholefoodsplantbased #fiber #beans #legumes #bakedbeans

18.01.2022 POACHED PEARS Tis the season to poach pears, I poached mine in warm spices and saffron, but you are truly only limited by your imagination! Serve plain in their cooking syrup, chopped and added to your porridge or chia puddings, add whatever takes your fancy. We activated some cashews and almonds and roasted them on top. The third image we added orange blossom, vanilla and maple syrup to whipped coconut cream for a decadent dessert. So versatile, so delicious and perfectly in season to enjoy in this cooler weather. #poachedpear #pears #vegan #veganrecipes #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #wholefoods #wholefoodsplantbased #healthyeating #organic #vegan #veganrecipes #jerf #vegansofig @ TOFWD* the organic food & wine deli

16.01.2022 SEITAN MEAT ALTERNATIVE We have all eaten it in one way or another at vegan restaurants or the plethora of vegan meat alternatives available at the supermarkets now. But have you thought of making your own? Its super easy and you can control the sodium levels. Plus a fantastic source of protein with a whopping 24 grams per 100 gram serve. . Add whatever herbs or spices you like to the mix. Here is an Italian style that I grate to use as mince, slice for pizza toppings, ...pan fry as a sausage. The colour is from organic tomato paste and paprika. Use vegan stock cubes to change the flavour base. Chicken style stick w sage make wonderful chicken sausages. Or blend with raw beetroot to make hamburgers. Super quick and easy too! #veganmeat #seitan #veganfood #crueltyfree #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #wholefoods #plantbasedwholefoods #wholefoodsplantbased #homemade #madewithlove #protein #veganprotein #musclefood #musclegain @ TOFWD* the organic food & wine deli See more

16.01.2022 VEGAN CHICKPEA & JACKFRUIT SHAWARMA Quick to prépare and so delicious!!! Marinated overnight in fresh lemon juice and parley, oven baked and wrapped with salad and dips.

15.01.2022 RAW, BAKED, STEAMED, FRIED There are so many ways to honour our food. The nutritional profile of what you eat can change drastically. In some cases bring reduced by 80% or more.

14.01.2022 RIBOLLITA Inspired by leftover dry bread, it was the perfect excuse to make a batch of Ribollita soup. Simple, Italian peasant fare. Washed down with a bottle of Biodynamic Sicilian Red wine from @punchin_bottles, #organic #vegan #healthyfood #plantbased #wastefree #foodwaste #biodynamicwine #sicilianwine #pesticidefree #soup #italianfood #ribollita

14.01.2022 PERSPECTIVE IN STRANGE TIMES My beautiful friend writes of her incredible journey with cancer. Honest and from the heart. A wonderful read to remind of whats important in life. What is not mentioned is that she is also French, so even harder being away from your family and friends at home although her life is here now. @theroamingatelier I am so grateful to be your friend and for you sharing your story. Bisous and câlins mon ami. #organic #love #inspiration #courage #cancer #fuckcancer

14.01.2022 VEGAN CHICKEN PHO Luc had to choose an Asian dish for his school cooking project this week. Such a fun learning experience with him. We had to research the herbs and spices that made it unique. Plus learn how to use aromatics to enhance a stock. Technique is so important in bringing out flavour to your food. Simple yet so effective. We charred the onion and ginger and toasted the spices. We also kept it authentic without animal cruelty. Seasoned tempeh and steamed broccoli served as accompaniments. #pho #phosoup #vietnamese #vietnamesefood #vegan #plantbased #healthyfood #wholefoods #jerf #schoolproject #cookingwithkids #vegetarian #crueltyfree @albertparkcollege

13.01.2022 BURGERS - SEITAN How good do these look? Cruelty free and dripping with deliciousness. So super quick and easy to make too. We went with traditional with onions, mustard and tomato sauce and a fancy side of kipfler potato chips. High in protein, good for the planet and great for your health. #vegan #veganburgers #plantbased #plantbasedprotein #crueltyfree #veganprotein #seitan #burgers #chips #vegansofig #melbournevegans #vegansofmelbourne #plantbasedprotein #healthylifestyle #healthyeating @ TOFWD* the organic food & wine deli

11.01.2022 #Repost By our gorgeous @sally.eller Systemic racism isnt just an American problem. We SHOULD be mad about George Floyds death. But as Australians, we should also be mad about the structural inequality that our country is built on. We should be mad about shorter life expectancy, higher levels of infant mortality, lower levels of education and employment, higher levels of incarceration, stolen children and continued destruction of country. We should be mad about over... 400 Aboriginal deaths in custody since 1991. As white people, its time to listen to the owners of this land. Donate where we can. Have hard conversations. Educate ourselves. Check our privilege. POC shouldnt bear the burden of changing a system that we perpetuate and actively benefit from as white people. #blacklivesmatter #aboriginallivesmatter @ On Aboriginal Land See more

04.01.2022 EAT THE RAINBOW It may be winter and we crave heavy, cooked comfort foods but its still important to keep a bit of balance.
