Sweet Red Pepper Fennel Soup

This Sweet Red Pepper Fennel Soup celebrates the flavour of deep caramelised slow roasted veggies. The soup has a lovely sweetness to it. Roasting enhances the naturally sweet flavors of the Roma tomatoes, fennel and bell peppers which browns and caramelizes the veggies. I love this deep, dark caramelization that naturally occurs when you slow roast. It takes almost an hour to prepare but requires only very little food preparation and is so easy to prepare. It’s hands-off cooking at its best.Read More

This Wild Tomato Asparagus Salad reminds me of Italian summers and celebrates the sweet deliciousness of wild tomatoes and freshness of clean green asparagus. The crunchy green asparagus stalks combine really well with the sweetness of the oven-roasted wild tomatoes and balsamic vinegar. The tangy, slightly bitter taste of the arugula adds an extra bite and balances off the sweetness of the roasted tomatoes and balsamic vinegar. Read More

This Fennel Avocado Chickpea Salad contains the best of everything. Essential Fatty Acids in the form of hemp oil, tahini and avocado. High-quality protein the form of quinoa and chickpeas and an alkalinity boost from the fennel, lemon, red cabbage, raw coconut vinegar, fresh mint, parsley and alfalfa. I love using Raw Coconut Vinegar in my salads. It supposedly has even more healing effects than raw apple cider vinegar as it is rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. The naturally occurring acids found in raw coconut provide the body with essential minerals such as potassium, calcium, sodium and magnesium.Read More

Pineapple Mint Cucumber Smoothie

This Pineapple Mint Cucumber Smoothie reminds me of Ibiza and hot summers. It’s a great drink on a hot summer day but also a fantastic electrolyte boost after a long workout. Replenishing electrolyte levels is crucial for recovery after a workout and can help boost performance in the long run. Most store-bought sport drinks, however, are loaded with sugar, additives and have little or no nutritional value. If you regularly exercise for more than an hour, replenishing electrolyte levels and getting the right nutritional building blocks in your body is a must. Read More

This Beet Apple Mint Salad is a brightly coloured, fresh and super-nutritious salad. I use a lot of raw beets in my cooking and juices. Raw beets have endless health benefits, including lowering blood pressure, decreasing inflammation and supporting women’s health. But did you know that beets can even help boost athletic performance? Apparently beets can help increase endurance and reduce fatigue by helping the body to burn oxygen more slowly.Read More
