A river of hope runs deep within the veins of the Australian dining public as we emerge from lockdowns some never saw coming. Pining for dining and all its accoutrement is a box we long to tick as we tip-toe away from the bittersweet salve of restaurant take-out and dare to dream of returning to restaurants of old or pursue the promise of a new nostalgia. You see, nostalgia evokes in us a memory or feeling, and has the power to transport us like the way a child sees the world, … [Read more...] about Old world hospitality for a new world order

Teriyaki tofu with seaweed, sesame, ginger salad
Tofu usually gets such a bad rap. Essentially I reckon it's a plant-based canvas to soak up a good sauce so that's why this version of teriyaki works such a treat. Enjoy this recipe with the added bonus of my umami-rich seaweed vegetables. Most cooks strive to achieve the umami flavour, which is usually a bit yeasty, salty or ‘funky’ and complements the food categories of taste – bitter, sweet, sour and salty. It is the flavour of glutamate, that savoury, moreish flavour associated monosodium … [Read more...] about Teriyaki tofu with seaweed, sesame, ginger salad
Vitamin G
The indigo sunrise illuminates the eastern sky heralding its imminent arrival. To the west, a loved-up, rather rowdy, koala couple are ensuring the continuation of their species. Above, the kookaburra cackle kick starts my consciousness, and on the sun-kissed, grassy knoll the Qi Gong practice unfolds as well-fed wallabies scatter in response to human footfall. It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day of life at Gwinganna. Steeped in anticipation, uncertainty, a tablespoon of trepidation and a … [Read more...] about Vitamin G

In the era of the quick fix and outsourcing our dilemmas to experts, perhaps it is time to embrace a little on-site repair and rebuilding at head office. Truly, it is a labour of love that takes time and cannot be hurried, for it has taken a lifetime for the body to degenerate into that stressed and short-fused state that most of us know and neglect. Remember that there is a self-healing expert in all of us just waiting to get out and live! Clarity of brain function and unlimited energy … [Read more...] about The Cortisol Connection
How to make Australia Day Gluten Free Lamingtons
Margaret Fulton - who is our grand dame of cuisine Down Under - reckons that this popular Australian cake was thought to have first been made for a tea party for Lord Lamington, who served as Governor of Queensland from 1896 to 1901. Over the years Margaret judged a lot of lamington competitions and they seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. The lamingtons she was most familiar with were always small and dainty. Years ago she appeared on a television show with Barry Humphries and made some … [Read more...] about How to make Australia Day Gluten Free Lamingtons
Recalculate Your Plate with Karen & Tom
Hands up if you've ever asked out loud "Hey Siri, what's for dinner?" If your hand went up, I bet Siri didn't reply "Roasted cauliflower steaks with Thomas hommus and rocket"! That is unless you asked the original Aussie voice of ’Siri’, Karen Jacobsen, a gorgeous gal from Mackay, Queensland, Australia, who's been telling people where to go for quite some time. While hers is the voice of reason we can trust, did you know that through her songs, concert performances, and speaking presentations, … [Read more...] about Recalculate Your Plate with Karen & Tom
