How to make teriyaki salmon
Many moons ago when I was still a wayward, moped-riding teenager, I managed a great Japanese restaurant in Melbourne. A glamourous izakaya bar with plush tatami rooms and serious table cooking that I would perform on a nightly basis strapped inside a glorious orange and silver silk kimono - sadly no photos were ever taken, but hopefully you'll get the picture! During these formative years, I devoured every piece of traditional Japanese culinary wisdom I could get my chopsticks into. … [Read more...] about How to make teriyaki salmon

How to use seaweed – why is seaweed healthy
Why is seaweed healthy? Did you know that by adding seaweed to legumes while they are cooking helps to soften them and also helps to detoxify them? For improved flavour and digestion, more nutrients, and faster cooking, place soaked kombu or kelp seaweed in the bottom of the pot. Add 1 part seaweed to 6 or more parts legumes. Use seaweed soak water to cook grains and vegetables. In 2010 I was lucky enough to train with Paul Pitchford, author of Healing with Whole Foods who declares that sea … [Read more...] about How to use seaweed – why is seaweed healthy

Broccoli, silverbeet and seaweed soup
The Brassicacasae, or cruciferous vegetable family as they were formerly known due to their crucifix-like appearance, include mostly pungent vegetables such as Brussels sprouts, cabbage, kale, turnip, broccoli, cauliflower and collard greens. Most of these we disliked as children. Perhaps it was due to the strong odour of sulphur when overcooked since children have such a keen, unadulterated sense of smell. Commonly on April Fools Day at boarding school, sulphur hyroxide (rotten egg gas) … [Read more...] about Broccoli, silverbeet and seaweed soup

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
