Fennel, Celery & Kelp Noodle Salad

smc

Kelp, seaweed and sea vegetables contain one of the most easily absorbed and highest levels of calcium and minerals we can consume. My lunch is a really important meal for me. It’s a time for me to stop for a little while and enjoy nourishing my body. I like to go for a little walk afterwards! Ingredients: Finely sliced fennel Finely sliced celery Finely sliced rocket leaves Flaked cooked salmon (I pre-roasted it with some cracked black pepper) Kelp (Seaweed) noodles (chopped) Cracked black pepper Dressing: Olive oil Lemon juice Toss all gently together and allow to infuse well before … Continue reading Fennel, Celery & Kelp Noodle Salad

Fennel is my absolute favourite food ever in the whole world. Fennel, combined with prawns, another absolute favourite food ever in the whole world, is truly a delight I can’t describe!

Crispy Crunchy Celery Salad

Welcome to my desk!! I’ve started a new job, that I love … and I have been loving my exploration of salads. This one was particularly tasty and crispy and filling that I felt to share it with you all.

Chocolate Flan

smc

Classic Sarah recipe that was almost all eaten before I managed to snap a quick picture!!! These are vegan, raw and scrumptious! I made individual sized mini-flans based on the Key Lime Pie recipe and adapted it for some chocolate lover friends for dessert for a wonderful dinner party last weekend. The base is the same as the Key Lime Pie … but I tweaked it for this recipe and this is enough for four small, 10cm diameter flan dishes: 1/2 cup macadamia nuts 1/2 cup almonds 1/2 cup dessicated coconut 1/2 cup coconut butter 1/2 cup coconut oil I … Continue reading Chocolate Flan
