Date Paste

20/9/2013

In preparation for the lemon poppyseed cake I plan to make tomorrow, I prepared some date paste. I love dates, they are the perfect sweetener for any recipe, as well as a great snack for an energy boost. Dates are free from cholesterol, rich in vitamins and minerals; containing B Vitamins, calcium, iron, potassium, manganese, magnesium and copper. They help in the relief from constipation, intestinal disorders, anemia and stomach cancer. They are great for muscle development and the high level of minerals makes them a great food for bone health and maintaining a healthy nervous system.

Tomorrow is the Chinese Lunar Festival, so I came come home tonight to Dad taking over the whole kitchen cooking up a storm. He's making mooncakes with a black sesame and nut filling, and one with a red mung bean. Watching him and taste testing the fillings got me hungry, and seeing all that rich red mung bean colour got me thinking about beets, so I decided to make nori wraps. These are super quick to make, just blend and wrap!

Morning Refresher Juice

Sometimes the best thing to wake up to is a refreshing energizing juice that alkalines the body. The last few days have been heavy eating days and after an allergic reaction to an accidental dosage of milk, I decided I needed something light but fresh that will help flush out the body.

One of the visiting teachers Megan is leaving Perth, so us yogis congregated together to have a going away celebration, of course it was a perfect opportunity for me to make something decadent. I decided to go for a lemon cheesecake. The torrential downpour recently meant my lemon tree was in fine form, and when life gives you lemons... you make CHEESECAKE!

Pineapple Supergreens Juice

This morning I felt like something not so sweet but still refreshing so I settled upon pineapple and lots of greens. I always think it's a good idea first thing in the morning to get the digestive system going so I threw in some mint and fennel for an extra kick.

Raw Chilli Nut Cheese

I love cheese, even though I'm lactose intolerant - when I eat it my face goes puffy and I pass out in a food coma for an hour or so. I can't digest it so it sits in my stomach and I feel bloated and gross. However every now and then I still eat it, from ripe cheddar to creamy goat cheese, it's all delicious. Then I decided instead of making myself sick, I could make my own versions of nut 'cheese'. I haven't touched real cheese since. Tonight I decided to make a basic chilli cheese.

Cocomint Smoothie

This year the mint in my veggie garden has really taken off, I have been adding it into all my juices. Then this morning I thought why not my smoothies too? Usually the coconut smoothie is so satisfying, but a little variation now and then is a good thing. Turned to be a brilliant idea! I also threw in some vanilla bean to balance it out... and voila! Creamy coconut with a fresh burst of minty goodness.

Subiaco Station Market

1/9/2013

0 Comments

Every Saturday or Sunday morning, as long as I am not teaching class, Dad and I have our weekly ritual of heading bright and early to the markets at Subiaco Station Street. As well as stocking up on our groceries for the week, we also have some father-daughter bonding time which is always nice.

I love any sort of farmer's market. The produce always smells amazing and seeing the rows and rows of wholesomeness is worth getting up at 7am. Subiaco has most of the staple items I purchase every week - apart from produce, they also have stalls for Prana Health Foods, Angry Almond (their online store is now 2 Brothers), a butcher, The Spice Library, a bakery as well as an array of food stalls from Mexican, Vietnamese, Indian, Japanese, to fresh made crepes and fresh juices.

I also find it much cheaper overall than the normal supermarkets and there is just a better energy in a market with each little stall, the farmers and the owners, than a big commercial building with just people working in there.
