Sammy’s Supergreen Smoothie
A green smoothie is a meal in itself and can be as nourishing as you like. Raw kale can be very abrasive on the digestive tract, causing bloating and discomfort.

Lymphatic Tisane
A tisane is a herbal infusion usually consisting of leaves and flowers, steeped for a few minutes so as to release the essential oils. I have created this fragrant, subtle blend of lymphagogues, to help clear my lymphatic system after enjoying energising spring liquid cleanse of juices, smoothies and vegetable broths. I have noticed during my mini 3 day cleanse that the lymph nodes around the hairline at the back of my neck and under my ears were inflamed, so each ingredient has been carefully … [Read more...] about Lymphatic Tisane

Prawns with passionfruit aioli
You know passionfruit, turmeric and eggs are not normally ingredients who play together, however turmeric and passionfruit are kinda yellow so I reckoned they’d blend up well with a few egg yolks and make a cracker of an accompaniment to a handful of local grilled prawns. Passionfruit, an obvious aphrodisiac, also has powerful healing properties including antioxidant and anti-fungal activity and has been used by Amazonian tribes for centuries for its sedating powers and pain … [Read more...] about Prawns with passionfruit aioli
