How to Get Your Man to Eat Healthy Food

It’s hard isn’t it. You want to revamp your diet and eat nutritious wholesome foods, but your man is happy with what he’s always known and the thought of suddenly eating more veg, switching to brown rice and eating more fish instead of a  300 gram steak is truly horrifying to him. So, you make dinner…

Black Sesame and Coconut Icecream

February 17, 2013 by The Nutrition Guru and The Chef 2 Comments

This recipe was born after looking at my kitchen bench. For some unknown reason, there was a packet of black sesame seeds, a jar of palm sugar syrup, rice malt syrup and a can of coconut cream sitting on my bench that hadn’t been put away after a cooking session. I looked at this little group of ingredients and…

The Chef’s Easy Curry Paste

The Chef’s Easy Curry Paste

Recipe by: The Chef I love curries, and the Nutrition Guru tells me the ingredients I often use to make them are very good for you. I think people often believe that cooking with a curry means that a dish will be hot and burn your mouth, which obviously not everyone enjoys. Though that isn’t the case….

Summer Icypoles

December 18, 2012 by The Nutrition Guru and The Chef 2 Comments

In Summer, it’s so easy to reach for the icecream to cool down. Instead, try using fresh fruit juice, or 100 fruit juice from the supermarket to make your own healthy icypoles. Icypole moulds are so cheap and making your own makes Summer all that more cheerful. Today was a scorcher in Noosa, we cooled…

DIY Decorated Jars

November 3, 2012 by The Nutrition Guru and The Chef Leave a Comment

I’ve become a hoarder of jars. We always recycle our food jars and store pantry items in them such as lentils, rice and spices but our cupboard is over flowing with empty jars now. So much so that The Chef yelled ‘Stop hoarding jarssssss!’ at me when he realised that the cupboard was being over taken by…

Herb Storing Tip

September 22, 2012 by The Nutrition Guru and The Chef 3 Comments

Sick of buying fresh herbs, only for them to go to waste in the fridge before you have had time to use them? Chop fresh herbs, place in ice cube trays and fill with olive oil. Remove and use as required. Simply add to a hot pan, or leave at room temperature to melt. Do…

Strawberry Smoothies

September 1, 2012 by The Nutrition Guru and The Chef 7 Comments

We just love strawberries. How something so natural, can be so vibrantly coloured and taste so sweet is just an outstanding feat of nature. The  combination of bright red shiny flesh with contrasting strong green leaves perched on top is just stunning to me. The Chef loves the heady fragrance of strawberries that waft through the kitchen while he reduces them down on the…

Potato and Onion Soup

July 5, 2012 by The Nutrition Guru and The Chef 1 Comment

Written by: The Nutrition Guru I must say, that I never cook soups using a recipe. That’s because I usually cook soup as a way of using up all the dribs and drabs in the fridge. So on this cold winters night, I had 2 potatoes and 2 onions which were not looking shiny and…
