TURMERIC, CHOCOLATE & PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
Recipe and images by Amber Bremner These wholesome cookies rely on peanut butter, which gives them great flavour as well as a wee protein boost. Use your preference of smooth or crunchy (or smoochy, which is somewhere in between). Crunchy will leave small bits of peanut throughout the cookie, which is rather nice. Mildly spiced […]

The Magic of Minestrone
WORDS AND IMAGES JULIE LE CLERC Minestrone is the kind of dish that reminds a cook why they fell in love with food in the first place. It’s generous, adaptable and bursting with goodness.

Each to their own, but cynical me (who prefers a wild […]
Flatten Your Curve
Words Janine Tait For most of my career, I’ve been devoted to the world of skin health. I trained as a beauty therapist, then later as a nutritionist when I realised that I couldn’t truly transform skin by treating it from the outside alone.

TEMPEH BALLS
Recipe and Image Amber Bremner These tempeh balls are a fantastic high protein stand-in for traditional meatballs, inspired by the classic flavours of Italian pork sausage. I serve these with spaghetti and marinara sauce as a familiar family-friendly meal that keeps everyone happy. They are delicious shallow fried but can be oven-baked for a healthier […]
Go Nuts!
Words Vicki Ravlich-Horan Want to go nuts? Try to work out if what you are eating is a nut, a drupe or a seed, and just for fun, let’s throw in some legumes. OK, so you probably know that peanuts are not nuts, but a legume that grows underground. If you ever get a chance, […]
