Expert interview: can kinesiology help you?

The first time I experienced Professional Kinesiology* in its most basic form was 7 years ago, when I went to see a Chinese Medecine doctor who used it for allergy testing in London. At the time, I was a little bit dubious of this method that uses muscle testing to better understand what’s going on […]

Mouth-watering miso salmon

You know those ingredients that just elevate even the most basic recipe? Saffron, sesame oil, lemongrass, white wine, truffle oil, rose water…all those noble elements that turn ordinary into something extraordinary? Well, in my books, miso is definitely one of them. The first time I ever tasted this Japanese fermented soybean paste was years ago, when […]

The ultimate “late summer” salad

I know, summer hasn’t technically started yet. But when it’s 40°C everyday and it’s so humid that you’ve given up doing your hair, you kind of feel like we should at least be halfway through it. Also, I found beautiful organic corn at Spinneys the other day and to me, it is the ultimate late summer food. Boiled […]

Smoked date pecorino buckwheat salad with macademia nuts

I don’t know where I got the inspiration for this recipe because I’ve never tasted anything quite like it, but it’s now become a staple at our house. A couple of tips: use the darker roasted buckwheat groats, not the raw, light-colored one, if you want to have that distinctive taste buckwheat is known for. […]

Do you have heavy metal toxicity?

Heavy metal toxicity is a reality for us living in an industrialized society because we are constantly exposed to toxins in our daily life. Analyzing your mineral and toxic metal levels has become quite popular in the preventive healthcare sector because it can often help explain the causes of many health symptoms and diseases, from fybromalgia to […]

Dangerously good chocolate peanut butter banana “moelleux”

Careful with these fancy little muffins, it’s hard to just have one. They have a really rich dark chocolate taste, are fluffy and moist and just go down so well. I love the fact that they have no sugar or gluten, and unlike a lot of paleo-style cakes, you don’t need a bunch of eggs. They are […]

Lively cilantro citrus tahini sauce

This alfresco sauce isn’t just a nice salad dressing but a great accompaniment to grilled fish, meat and vegetables. The lemon and lime bring a nice zing to it while tahini gives it a luxurious texture and unique taste. All the ingredients are also exceptionally healthy, especially if you are in detox mode: tahini is rich in […]

Celeriac “rice” with decadent porcini mushroom ragout

Celeriac – otherwise known as celery root – is a vastly underrated and underused vegetable despite its unique taste and texture. The “rice” is a good alternative to carbs and also a change from its cauliflower counterpart, which can be hard to digest for some people (cauliflower contains mannitol, which is an alcohol sugar part […]

Essential oils: interview with Mr. Fox

I’ve been wanting to write about essential oils for a while but wasn’t sure how to approach the topic…until I met Vincent Bruno, a.k.a. Mr. Fox. He isn’t a doctor, a naturopath or an aromatherapist. He’s just a really passionate fellow whose mission is to make people feel good using essential oils. His sprays, serums and blends […]

Lazy mamma’s overnight matcha coconut oats and yogurt

Don’t know about you, but whether I eat breakfast or not, by the time 11 am rolls around, my stomach is growling and I’m counting down the minutes until lunch time. In come overnight oats. Apart from requiring minimal effort, oats are an excellent source of fibre, are filling and will get you through the morning without […]
