Michael Pollen - Author of ‘In Defence of Food’ and ‘The Omnivore’s Dilemma.’ I believe nutrition could very well be this simple. If you are going to spend 60 minutes doing anything this weekend, watch this. This is a great generalization for consumption of food, if you ate like this 90% of the time, you’ll reach your goals and maintain with relative ease.

cooking with nothing: Yummy fruity carroty loaf

This delicious loaf served as a great nibble alongside breakfast at a music festival in the weekend, and would go perfectly as a morning or afternoon tea snack with a cuppa tea or coffee. And to top it all of, it’s super duper easy and has only 0.6g of fat (0.1g saturated)! Thanks again …

Health World: Options for Natural Back Pain Relief
I have been bothered by a nasty back for many years now. Medical doctors have not been in a position to pinpoint the source of my problem, so all they can tell me is to get a special mattress and desk chair and to be extra conscious of my posture. Every so often, they prescribe pain reduction…

cooking with nothing: Organic chicken, ginger and vegetable stirfry

I had to back-track a few days last week when I realised I’d chosen some gluten free stock that had onion and garlic in it. So instead of being a week in, a life without FODMAPs only really began four days ago. You definitely have to be prepared and plan everything in…

cooking with nothing: To wine or not to wine
While following the diet, I’ve found some contradictory information about wine drinking. Some say dry, white wine is okay, others not. I learnt the hard truth in the weekend over a champagne brunch. Well, at least I think it was the bubbly that caused my 11 days of freedom not to reach 12. The…

cooking with nothing: An update... and Asian vegetable soup

I’m not going to lie. This is hard. After returning from Belgium, things haven’t been easy menu planning and FODMAP diet-wise. There are so many obstacles, but I’m beginning to see they’re worth it and now have a new conviction to follow this through for as long as it takes to figure this…

cooking with nothing: Huevos Rancheros with homemade spelt tortillas

I know this is more of a brunchy/lunchy thing but I just love Huevos Rancheros for an easy, warm and deliciously spicy dinner. I adapted this recipe from the one on the HFG website. You’ll want to start working on the tortillas before the rest of the dish.
For the Huevos Rancheros:

cooking with nothing: Chocolate pudding!
I played around with this recipe when on the FODMAP diet, and would still make it like this even if I’m not following the eating plan - it’s delicious! It’s dairy-free, made with spelt flour instead of wheat, and truly is comfort food on a cold night. No photo this time… it was gobbled up far too…

cooking with nothing: Paneer kebabs with spicy red cabbage

With the leftover paneer cheese I had after making this recipe, I decided to search for a kebab number. I came across one here from the BBC, and teamed it with some spicy red cabbage and steamed basmati rice.
Serves 4
For the kebabs:
- 500g paneer cheese, cut into cubes
- 1…

The Adventures of The Caleb: Weekly Herbal Remedy: Caleb's Flu and Cold prevention
This is something I’ve thrown together year after year after year due to working in an office and having sickly family members. It’s not completely original and you can find variations of it with a lot of holistic practitioners. I modified it to this because it is fairly safe and easy going…
