Food That Loves You Back

RECIPES • INGREDIENTS • CURIOSITY

I love good food. I also love finding out what makes an ordinary ingredient interesting.

These are recipes I’ve made for workshops, retreats and our monthly meetups, along with some of the science and stories behind the ingredients.

Nothing terribly complicated. Mostly real food, lots of plants and occasionally an ingredient that gets rather more attention than expected.

Coconut and coconut water

June’s Ingredient of the Month

Five healthy coconut recipes from our snowy mountain-themed meetup: Virgin Piña Colada, Heroic Coconut Snowballs, Healthy Coconut Madeleines, Coconut & Seed Crackers and Mini Coconut Cream Pies.
