Diets, Detoxes & Digestive Dilemmas Oh dear me… here we go again! Only days into 2014 and the endless round of diets, detoxes, digestive dilemmas, cleanses, fasts and who knows what else, are being advertised thick and fast in the lamestream and online media. Haven’t you learned yet that this is what you got involved with last year and you were left with NO long…
In my book ‘ Understanding The Divine Gut’ I talk about the way the ‘Protein Story’ has been hijacked by the meat and dairy industries. ‘Hi-Jacked’ being the operative word because most people have been so brain-washed by the unstinting PR, they think they can only get food protein from animals. THIS IS A LIE and if you believe it then you too have been…
I cannot help wondering if the proponents of this current global pandemic of fruit and vegetable juicing aren’t missing a trick and are innocently contributing to greater planetary digestive trauma. 90% of the digestion process starts in the mouth with the introduction of acids and enzymes via our saliva. Now when you put together a ‘high impact’ juice filled with perhaps 6-8 vegetables along with…

I look at a strawberry and I see so much of what I like to be. Yearned for. Lusted over. LOVED!! Irresistible, they are to me and then I bite into a new season’s strawberry and the chemical effect on my entire being is quite overwhelming. I drop to my knees in public and yell ‘ Thank you. Thank you.Thank you to the God of…
In these times when most of you are finding ways to just stay on task, in focus and on track, I seem to be venturing further away from regularity and mundainity and into seemingly uncharted waters. For me there is a force within which creatively motivates me into a space of beauty and colour. Breaking my nightly fast recently became a ‘fanfare of fruity beauty’…
Bread is an ‘old world’ comfort food of little to no nutritional value – nowadays! The germ has been corrupted to an extent there now remains very little value for the human body. A lot of folk, and I mean many many people, can no longer tolerate wheat products and it’s the gluten component which is the issue. Gluten is the sticky substance inside the…
Love it or loathe it, Cauliflower is good for you. It’s full of beautiful nourishment and is also very partial to ’embellishment’. I figured this would be a sophisticated yet simple plate for a corporate ‘sit-down’ – RAW Curried Cauliflower with Turnip and Corn Rice and lots of ‘splashings’ of mint leaf to add a mildly different taste. Something to ‘rock their little socks off’…
I go on binges. Do you ? My binge right now is PURPLE!! Purple cabbage and beetroot which I know is not officially purple but you know where I am coming from. So this Saturday’s LIVE Broadcast from my kitchen at RAWHq is about purple!! Has to be because it’s all I have been thinking of in recent days. Here is a preview.I will show…
This is what has kept me glowing – going in the last 24hrs. Fettuccine Alfredo al Fungi using peeled courgette put through the spiraliser and a mushroomy sauce to LOVE for. I used some left over cashew cheese, half an avocado, 6 small RAW mushrooms and 6 marinated mushrooms. I added some chilli too and seasoned and blitzed!! IT was as I imagined an old…

Start off simply serving your guests the sorts of things you may have served when not RAW but with the RAW twist – RAW Kale Dukka – a dipping mixture…
How I start my day determines how I live my day! If I start poorly without proper vitalised nourishment I will feel flat for much of the day and won’t be able to contribute meaningfully. I always start my day with a fruit smoothie. I don’t juice anything. I don’t even own a juicer. I like to have ALL the skin, fibre and nourishment from…
I am one of the luckiest people on this planet through choice!! I have at my doorstep a veritable wicker basket filled with the most amazing vegetables and fruit via the Sunday Noosa Farmers Market here north of Brisbane in the Eastern state of Queensland, on the East Coast of Australia. Right now I will say if you have a farmers or producers market in…
