Kotorian Fennel Salad
The first time I made this salad was in Montenegro, while staying in an apartment within the ancient fortress walls of Kotor. One evening, my partner and I stumbled upon reruns of Jamie Oliver’s old cooking show. He was preparing “chopped salads,” effortlessly combining various fresh veggies, chopping them together on a cutting board. Inspired by his use of hard vegetables like fennel, celery, and carrot, I found ingredients at the local market and a new salad was born!
Dukkah, the Super-Condiment for Digestive Peace
Dukkah is a BIG DEAL in New Zealand. You can’t go to any self-respecting breakfast joint without finding dukkah on the menu somewhere, usually gracing a plate with halloumi, fried greens and eggs…oooh and home-made sourdough. OK, well that will be one of the better breakfast places, but still.
Made from simple ingredients (you probably already have in your kitchen), dukkah adds a beautiful, earthy zing to any plate, but did you know it can also help with digestion? Read on to learn the therapeutic benefits of this quick and easy condiment you won’t be able to get enough of…
Moroccan-Spiced Lentils with Saffron Rice and Grilled Haloumi
Relocating to the Southern Hemisphere has meant that my partner and I have had to reinvent our holiday traditions. Christmas in the Summer? OK! Easter in the fall, and Thanksgiving is pretty much out the window.
But, that’s alright, we’ve embraced the change that comes with the decision to shake things up a bit - and that we have! Enter our new holiday traditions, and this one revolves around…
Probiotic Preserved Lemons
When life gives you lemons, preserve them! Preserved lemons rank among the easiest and most delectable probiotic food you can make at home. Consider this: which dish wouldn't benefit from a bright kick of lemon and salt? Read on to discover how to create and savor this fermented treat, to enhance digestion, reduce inflammation, and elevate the flavor of everything you eat.
Sprouted Buckwheat Tabbouleh
This salad is in my regular lunch rotation - it satisfies everything I want in a lunch: easy to make, delicious, filling and super nutritious. You don’t have to sprout the buckwheat, but it does make the protein in this pseudo-grain easier to digest and the process also reduces troublesome phytates - which interfere with mineral absorption and can cause other issues for some…
Lacto-Fermented Lime Pickle
Mid-March through July is Iime season here in New Zealand - so it’s the perfect time to make this gut-loving, spicy, salty, sour Indian lime pickle (Nimbu ka Achaar). I have honed this recipe over the last few years, and I am completely satisfied with it (and for me that is a big deal - I am the queen of ever-”improving” recipes, I just can’t leave well enough alone!). It has just enough kick to be spicy, but not so much that it overwhelms the palate. The addition of black salt has added a whole new
Cumin-Scented Lentil Stew
This nourishing, delicately flavored soup is in my regular rotation. On the surface, it’s just your typical lentils dressed up with roasted cumin, tomato, preserved lemon and your favorite leafy green, but the combination of delicate flavors with just enough acid to balance the rich lentils comes together as something far greater than the sum of its parts. Plus, it’s super economical, nutrient dense and satisfying! As with most of my recipes, every ingredient…
Zephyr’s Breakfast
This recipe goes WAAAY back, back before I ran the Morning Glory Bakery - back all the way to when it was a restaurant - serving heavenly breakfasts named after family and friends. I’ve done my best to reproduce a well-loved favorite, leaning heavily on the Mexican flavors that I LOVE. This hearty breakfast is not only loaded with Mexican flavors and plenty of protein (check and check), it also provides that indescribable combination of comfort food and fresh zing. Oh, and did I mention…
Tahini-Hemp Protein Bars
This fast, easy recipe was inspired by halvah, a delicious middle-eastern dessert made with ground sesame seeds. I love halvah, but it’s a bit too sweet for my palate now. I created this recipe to provide an afternoon pick me up - it satisfies that sweet craving even though there’s only a touch of sugar from the dark chocolate and is packed with protein, minerals and…
Best-Ever Seed Crackers
I thought I’d share my go-to gluten free cracker. This is a recipe I’ve altered over the years, ever-increasing the nutritional value (I can’t help it!). These tasty gluten-free crackers are a great source of fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and minerals like calcium, iron, iodine, magnesium, and zinc….plus B12 and thiamine - Woah! Top with my antioxidant herb spread and you’ve got a powerhouse of a snack. Plus they are super satisfying and don’t require any special equipment to make.
Golden Latte
If you’re not yet on the golden latte train, it’s high time you bought your ticket! Especially if you are stuck at Inflammation Station, like the majority of us travelers in this cosmic plane. Too much? Ha ha, sorry, but I just HAD to grab your attention this time because I want you to be well, and this simple, inexpensive “home remedy” can make a big impact if you are dealing with pain, inflammation, gut issues and
Buckwheat Crêpes with feijoas
Buckwheat is the BEST. You may know that it is gluten-free, but did you know that is not a grain, but actually a seed and related to rhubarb? I consider it a super food; it is high in protein, containing all the essential amino acids, it also contains two flavonoids, rutin, and quercetin, which act as powerful antioxidants…AND it is a great source of riboflavin, niacin, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, and manganese. Did I mention it makes lovely, tender, crispy-edged crêpes?
Creamy Cauliflower Soup
This is a rich and flavorful dairy free soup that is brimming with protein, B vitamins and zinc; which are typically lacking in plant-based and vegetarians diets. It also very satisfying, as it supplies ample quality fats and fiber to make you feel fuller longer. Fenugreek and caraway add beautiful warming flavors, are anti-inflammatory, digestion enhancing and contribute to balanced blood sugar levels….what’s not to love?
Antioxidant Herb Spread
A versatile, immune-supportive recipe using antioxidant-rich herbs. Spread it on crackers, use as a pasta sauce, with baked feta or to make salad dressing. Yum!
