RHUBARB AND GINGER CAKE.

A couple of weeks ago I received some rhubarb in our organic vegetables… Personally, I’m not a huge fan of these jewel-coloured stalks. I suspect it was the amount I consumed as a child. Up in the north east of England back in the 50s and 60s it was rare to see a vegetable plot … Continued



ANOTHER GREEN JUICE….

So here we are with something healthy. There is always a place for another Green Juice recipe…. Even in these colder months I still aim to have one fresh juice a day. I have it first thing in the morning and then I know I have fed myself a whole bundle of nutrition. However, because … Continued

A SUMMER JUICE, COOLING AND REFRESHING.

They are also classified as being acidic, unlike lemons and grapefruits which neutralise in the body. They are rich … Continued

A QUICK AND EASY SALAD.

It is warm. It is sunny. It is the first day of June and my heart sings. I love the hotter days and that means I eat more wholesome food. I have less urge to fill up on stodge and my body asks for salads and fruits. This lovely salad came by way of 101 Cookbooks, The … Continued



A GINGER SHOT START TO THE DAY!

I will shortly be popping a post up about my Juice Retreat but meanwhile, I thought this may be of interest. Several times during our week we had this really powerful ginger/apple combination. The secret is to make it, smile hugely and drink in one! As Jason Vale writes in his ‘5lbs in 5 Days’ … Continued
