Nutty, garlicky chilli oil + chargrilled seasonal asparagus = spring in brunch formSalsa macha is a Mexican sauce I am in love with. Garlic is poached gently in oil, followed by peanuts, dried red chillies and sesame seeds. The resulting (highly addictive) oil is drizzled over the hundreds of different seafood tostadas; a dish found up and down the coastline of Baja California. But I think it adds excitement to almost anything it touches, and goodness knows we need a bit of that while we’re all still cooped up at home. This is my hazelnut version, which I think is glorious with asparagus. Continue reading...**Disclaimer – This article often contains affiliate links. All products are ones I love. If you...
In 2002 Erin Delaney was living in Mexico with her partner and their infant daughter when she started feeling sick. “I was tired, moody, and in a fog,” Delaney recalls. She wondered if her feelings were due to the newfound stress of parenting, but over the next two years — as her baby grew into a bubbly toddler — Delaney felt further disconnected from her old, easygoing self. When her family returned to the United States in 2004, she saw a holistic practitioner who asked her about her diet (not great), her stress level (high), and her history of food sensitivities (gluten). Ultimately, he diagnosed her with candidiasis. Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by the yeast Candida albicans, which is...
I’m a foodie through and through (and a proud one at that), however I have to admit, sometimes, nothing beats a great takeaway – especially when it’s been a long day of traveling or exploring, especially a city as big as Bangkok at that. If you happen to be staying in the Sukhumvit area – yes, there is so much food at every corner especially here, but it can become pretty overwhelming/time-consuming/tiring – we’ve found our choice of favourite cafes, restaurants, speciality coffee houses and street food spots that are now available on food apps in Bangkok such as Foodpanda and GrabFood. Whether you’re in the mood for Korean or Japanese, something fresh or something local, this will have you...
One of the many things I talk with my clients about is how we fuel our body — the physical package we reside in. A Buddha Bowl is one of the daily staples in our home. Here’s how it’s done: Find a unique, large-sized bowl that for you symbolizes nourishment and gratitude. And perhaps a pair of chopsticks to enhance slow eating and mindfulness. Preparing this meal should be enjoyable, relaxing, and creative. As you fill your Buddha Bowl, remember that you’re creating food art. Farm-to-table means little to no processing involved. The closer to the earth we eat, the healthier the food is for us. I’m all about nutritionally dense fuel — foods with a high nutrition-to-calorie ratio. And...
Nowadays there are increasingly more options for people with intolerances that make it possible to eat the products they cannot endure without getting symptoms. More and more often, there are supplements available which can help your body to digest the products you don’t tolerate well. In this blog I’d like to tell you more about the supplement Lutomerase from the brand Disolut, that helps with the digestion of fructose. This blog was written in collaboration with Disolut. This doesn’t change my opinion towards the product. I wrote this review because the supplement works for me, and I think that it can be valuable for you too. What is fructose?Fructose, also known as fruit sugar, is a monosaccharide (a singular sugar or...
