I love looking around my local Asian supermarket. I found a whole section of seaweed and seaweed related products (though the products seem to contain lots of ingredients that are far removed from Paleo). Seaweed is something I've never had at home before – and certainly haven’t cooked with – and I'm curious to try. […]
I was reading the Summer 2012 edition of “Woman’s Weekly Health” earlier, when I came across this double page spread debating whether Margarine or Butter is better for your health. Fighting the corner for butter was a cook, Fran Abdallaoui. Arguing the case for margarine was Barbara Eden, Nutrition Manager at National Heart Foundation of […]
I had a big cooking session at the weekend and thought I’d use the leftover chicken I had to make some Chicken Stock. When I have the time to cook I like to make things like stock or bone broth, as I can freeze large amounts and use them as the basis for many dishes […]
In the UK all Eggs (from a source with over 50 hens) are stamped identifying whether they are organic, free range, from barn or caged hens. The stamps also show the size of Eggs and a code identifying where they came from. I believe some parts of Australia require Eggs to be stamped, but it […]
I was thrilled to see MovNat is returning to Australia early next year. I didn't know much about MovNat until Erwan Le Corre's talk at the AHS earlier this year, but after hearing him talk and watching some of his demonstrations it looks amazing and I can't wait to try it for myself. There are going to […]
It seems that everywhere bottled water is sold, “Vitamin Water” is sold. Every day I see people buying it. It annoys me that these drinks are sold as health in a bottle. They have names like “Energy”, “Calm”, “Power”, “Essential”, “Revive”, “Recoup” and “Focus” and their bottles boast of the amazing health benefits and wealth […]
I was interested to see photos of a typical Breakfast for British Prime Minister David Cameron. Lurpak butter ( Ingredients: Organic butter (69%), organic rapeseed oil (25%), lactic culture, salt (0.9%)) Shredded Wheat Cereal (judging by the rest of the meal, I bet the milk isn't whole fat) Toast with Jam Low-fat yoghurt Fruit That's certainly […]
Well this was a new one for me. I walked past a Gloria Jean’s coffee shop today and noticed this sign for a “Low Gluten” Hazelnut Chocolate Torte. From what I've read about Gluten, it really is an all or nothing protein. Nora Gedgaudas spoke a lot about Gluten in her recent seminar, particularly about how […]
Gluten Free seems to be becoming an increasingly popular way to eat – which can only be a great thing. Gluten appears to not be tolerated well by a significant number of people – far more than realise they have an issue with it. A Paleo diet is gluten-free, so would seem to be the […]
As I've mentioned before, I've been a regular at the gym for a couple of years now. My workouts are primarily HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), which seemed to be unanimously agreed to be the best training method at both the AHS and Nora Gedgaudas’s recent seminar. HIIT is designed to incorporate bursts of high intensity […]
