20.01.2022 Cooking meditation evening results: lightly steamed veggies with saffron and porcini salt (from Souk Drawer in the Newcastle Mall); preserved lemons and Moroccan lamb tagine with peas and lemon... The best way to unwind and replenish nutrients depleted by daily stress.... Good night!

20.01.2022 The five stages of Bone Broth preparation (the lazy cook style- no oven baked anything). Ingredients: organic bones from the markets, veggies from the fridge like carrots and celery washed and roughly chopped, garlic and onion, Mediterranean herbs from the garden, Himalayan salt, some pink false peppercorn berries picked in the wild a few months ago, cauliflower leaves (too good to throw away), a few cloves and bay leaf. Boil softly for as long as you wish, 8 hours if you can, very gently. Then drain whilst still hot and use to eat on its own, sprinkled with finely chopped parsley, or as a base for soups. Super healthy and delish!

17.01.2022 Beautiful, delicious, nutritious and healthy food after the cooking classes at Apothecary Kitchen, Hamilton. What a lovely Tuesday night! Ben, the Chef (with capitals), nurtured us with an ethical and sustainable paella, delicious and hyper healthy, with fish and seafood caught by hand locally (by Paul, one of the participants), with chicken raised free in pastures and killed with minimal trauma, with veggies from local farmers, grown with sustainable practices. What a treat!!!

13.01.2022 Watched this program last night on SBS and it has made me think a lot... Honestly, I found good that he addresses (somehow) the issue that some people get obsessive about the food they eat (or not) and certain patterns or eating (how about we present how many donuts someone can eat in a day?). As Sarina Lewis points out in her article, food fuels our life, but is not who we are. Dr. Yeo's program however, presents in my view, biased and opinionated views on vegan and healthy...Continue reading

11.01.2022 What is the best way to reduce stress arriving home from a long day at the computer? Cooking a lovely Barramundi filet with Chemen spice mix from Zouk Drawer Spice Shop. Bought the Barra from the Farmer's Market, added the spice mix to which I added garlic paste, thyme, oregano and olive oil, and a few small eggplants, for decoration and taste. Serve with a lovely salad, and voila, healthy food on the table. It took me around 45 minutes from start to eating

02.01.2022 Suffering from lack of sleep? Here's some tips to start sleeping like a baby again... Happy sleeping!

02.01.2022 This 3 steps help in overcoming depression and mood disorders. Depression and anxiety can be reversed and managed to have beautiful lives filled with joy. Depression can have a physical cause: it can be related to deficiencies in protein, vitamins and minerals, or it can be caused by allergies and intolerances to certain foods. Depression is an inflammatory health condition; therefore reducing the inflammation will help maintaining healthy levels of the happiness molecules in... your body, including your brain. Depression can also have non-physical cause. In those cases, the information presented below can help in supporting better outcomes in the treatment of those types of depression. What to do to assess what is the most likely cause: 1. Ask your doctor to test you for your levels of: a. Iron b. Vitamin D c. Folate d. Vitamin B12 e. Glucose in blood: test for normal fasting glucose. If your blood glucose levels become a bit low on fasting, that might make you feel low and vulnerable. Low fasting blood glucose levels might also indicate potential problems related to the regulation of insulin (insulin resistance), therefore of the transport of glucose to your brain cells (and other cells in your body). f. Hormones: low levels of progesterone or high levels of oestrogen can promote depression. If you are taking the pill, consider other methods of preventing pregnancy or improving your skin (acne). Talk to your doctor about getting a milder one, if you want to continue taking the pill, and ask them about side effects of the pill they recommend to you, including mental health effects. 2. Ask your doctor to test for Celiac disease (IgG to Gliadin): celiac disease is more common that previously thought, and in many cases one of the symptoms is depression. They can also test for dairy intolerance. Both impair your gut, where 90% or your serotonin is stored (!). 3. Keep a food diary for a month, writing down every bit of food and drink that enters your mouth, including water. Also, note down how you feel physically and emotionally, highs and lows, with every meal. The food diary will help you to identify intolerances or allergies that might contribute to the inflammation, which cannot be measured currently with standard blood tests. See more
