These little places are all over Sydney and they are amazing. I'm such a lover of fruit and fresh produce that it makes me squirm with excitement. They make you fresh juices to go. Or a fruit salad, a normal salad, or perhaps you'd like some nuts. Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

This winter I've been huge on broths. I feel like they are light on my stomach but so rewarding in taste and healing powers. This one is an asian inspired broth I put together. I've used chicken stock, coriander, ginger, curry leaves, garlic, chilli and lemon. I like to broil chicken in this mix too. Stick it in raw and be patient. All the juices flavour the soup its amazing. Once it's cooked take it out to rest, and cut it into small pieces. Return to the broth, once the broth has been strained. Delicious AND nutritious.

Nothing is tastier or more satisfying than your very own home grown produce. 

Do you cook up things from your own garden? I'd love to hear from you. 

I was quite surprised when I read what the Dalai Lama had written yesterday. It's something that has been ringing true for a lot of us, but somehow needed clarification from someone we hold in high regard. I personally, hold everything he says with great regard. No, he is not a God, but he is certainly an intelligent man, who has taken the time to really understand some of the things that matter in life. 

What do you think of this post? Are you religious? Are you athiest? I'd love to hear some intelligent response...

I have a sweet tooth doesn't always agree with dietary requirements. This here is the business! Protein ball mixture. Like most of my recipes, I really guesstimate when it comes to quantities, but nevertheless, here is the recipe. Blend up nuts and seeds of your choice. I prefer to use pecans, almonds, chia seeds and sunflower seeds. Whizz it up. Add 16 dates that have been softened for half an hour in water. Whizz. Add protein powder. I add 1 scoop which would be about 4 tablespoons. The protein powder I use is called Ladybird Choc Protein. It's delicious. Add goji berries. Or for the cheaper alternative I sometimes use the strawberry flavoured sultanas or craisins. I add a small amount of skim milk to bind it all together and mix it all up. Roll them up into balls and dust with coconut. This is the healthiest, freshest, sweet treat you can give yourself, without worrying about all the work you will have to do to work it off. In fact, this is packing a punch protein wise!

Berlin seems to be the place for amazing things. Vintage finds, cute coffee shops, rich history, diverse music scene, delicious food, cheap living, fresh orange juice on the street. I could go on.... (serious love affair with Berlin and the bohemian lifestyle it has to offer)

There is nothing like the fresh smell of flowers. They invoke emotions of happiness for me.

For me, symmetry is an exciting thing! I'm aware that most people think that makes no sense, but for me who is almost obsessive compulsive about some thing, symmetry just makes sense - !!

I love photography, it's one of my many passions. I seem to really enjoy the richness and variety that comes from shooting fashion photography. This one is for the brand Sequoia. Winners of the BMW Adelaide Fashion Newcomer Award.

Love when the weather warms up a bit and we are blessed with natures fuel.

I love to boil up chicken bones and make my own chicken soup. It's so easy to do and honestly it's the best thing for you. It will ease a cold, and is great for little ones stomachs if they are upset. Boil up browned bones, or the carcass of a leftover whole cooked chicken. Add onions, carrots, celery and lots of cloves of garlic. Let it all brown off slightly and then add water to cover the carcass. Leave it to simmer slowly for 2 hours, and drain. There you have it, delicious broth! Add salt and pepper to taste. *I like to add chia seeds to the broth because it amps up the nutritional value and your kids will never know! They are tasteless little suckers but do the trick of providing so serious vital nutrients.

 

Delicious Gluten Free quiches. So easy to whip up if you have a someone with a GF intolerance coming over. My son thinks they are pretty tasty too! I like to beat up eggs, some lactose free cream, salt and pepper and a few types of veggies in a bowl. The trick is to use the silicone muffin trays. Add a little bit of cheese if your feeling a tad naughty and pop it into the greased trays. Stick them in the oven and when they have risen and are lightly browned on top, your done. Job completed. Delicious GF quiches. No, pastry belly aftermath...
