Happy Friday! Any exciting plans for your weekend? We had a Harley Davidson rally here on the compound yesterday which happens every year, and it’s the closest thing we have to a festival as our friend’s band played with their heavy metal/rock band for 45 minutes at the cricket ground. It’s pretty much a family day with food vendors, jumping castles and other entertainment, so it was lovely to get out and about. Our friend Chris, who is a wonderful photographer, and has taken some great shots of my tasting events, happened to snap this quickie of Manus and I (without his hearing protection which we had for when the band played). Anyway onto some more »

Morning! Happy humpday to you! Lately, I’ve been eating a little more simply with my raw foods, because so often I feel the need to make more gourmet complex dishes for showcasing here on the blog, or I am in the theme of making more transitional foods especially when in the thick of doing my classes as what I usually teach is the impressive dishes on how to make raw food more appealing. Plus it is what I am trained in. But as I’ve mentioned before, usually the longer you have been interested in raw foods, the more simplistic your tastes become, and spending  hours to process, dehydrate, juice etc for every.single.meal. becomes a little more »

Well howdy! Sorry to disappear on you like that, but between being in the kitchen plenty coming up with new recipes, testing old ones, planning my raw food launch and classes which begin next week and a slight emergency involving our little munchkin – all is well now thank goodness! I’ve just found it difficult to get on line to share my raw BLT I promised to you! Anyway plenty of you guessed all the components, but here’s how I made my scrumptious raw BLT last week.

Howdy everyone! How has your humpday been? Well it’s the start of our weekend here now and lucky us, we get a long weekend, with the work week starting back on Sunday not the usual Saturday, so tomorrow we are off to Bahrain for some fun, dancing and chilling by the pool. Today I was busy finalising the finishing touches on my upcoming Raw Food Classes in February/March, so if you are based here in the Eastern province of Saudi, then you might want to have a look at what I’m offering – I’m offering a couple of  new classes including Chocolate Masterclass and Dehydrator Fun! Check them out here! Also, as I am heading more »

Hi everyone! If you follow on facebook, you will see that last week I was so excited to receive my first organic box in our CSA (community supported agriculture) which is organic as well! And yesterday I received our second box. I’m even more excited, because in the 4 years I have been living here, I have found it difficult to find organic produce let alone local and now we have both – at least until the growing season ends (not sure when that is). If you want to check out more about where I shop I wrote about it here and here. Here’s what our box includes: 3 heads cauliflower 3 heads broccoli 3 more »
