How to make plant-based raspberry cheesecakes
In the part of the world where I live in Byron Bay there is a temperate climate and not the extreme polarity of my hometown Melbourne's weather. Devising a menu for health retreat that was very low sugar, no dairy and focuses on creating optimal vitality for our guests came naturally in my stride once I got the hang of what replaces what such as coconut oil can replace butter in many cases. To my delight, raw desserts often mimic their conventional counterparts with an impressive masquerade, … [Read more...] about How to make plant-based raspberry cheesecakes
How to make cashew cheese
Ever wondered how the food at raw food cafes tastes so good? On most occasions it is due to a high volume of raw cashews.

The cheese makes a wonderful dressing when blended with turmeric, macadamia oil and lime. Or rubbed through kale and dehydrated for those tasty but pricey store … [Read more...] about How to make cashew cheese

Berry protein smoothie
Here’s a favourite protein smoothie packed full of protein, fresh berries and abundant superfoods. Based on my clinical experience in Chinese medicine, weight gain for the fit and healthy person is predominantly due to fluid retention, dampness, cold and bloating in the gut. It’s amazing what a few days of warming foods – such as a lightly spiced pumpkin soup or curry – can do, yes even on a hot day. Therefore try to avoid raw food and cold salads especially those straight from the fridge. I … [Read more...] about Berry protein smoothie
