It’s a stupidly busy time of year - here’s some things we’re eating and cooking to match this ‘35 degrees one day, 15 and rainy the next’ classic Melbourne summer vibe.

Most of it is Italian, because, well, I’ve decided I’m Italian now ❤️💚🤍🤣.

thanks for keeping us stocked with the best Extra Virgin Olive Oil 💚

How’s your relationship with food going? 🥴🙃🙂🫣

Tonight I presented a webinar for - it was all about different ways that we can improve our relationship with food and health. It went so well!

I was a little apprehensive about it, because talking about food and bodies and the language we use can be pretty confronting. I mean - most of us have grown up with a lot of policing around food choices, and judgements about ‘good and bad’ or ‘healthy V ‘junk’ rhetoric. It’s deeply ingrained in us!

Part of me was ready for the ‘well this is stupid ! You’re telling me I should let my kids eat what they want all the time?’ response. Or the ‘yes but my doctor TOLD me I have to lose weight’ stories. 😔

Anyway. Awesome feedback. Lots of lovely people saying they had so much to think about and loved hearing a different take from the usual ‘eat less and move more and don’t eat crap’ message we are bombarded with every day.

If you think this sounds interesting, I’m doing it all again tomorrow at midday! And the sessions willl be recorded for members to access later.

Now, it’s home made pizza time 🥰 - using my south Melbourne market haul from Sunday 🎉

Happy Dietitians Day 2023!

A big shoutout to all of the inspiring dietitians I’m blessed to call my friends and colleagues - there are simply too many to mention!

I absolutely love my job, and the people I get to meet, help and work with in my various different roles. I also love how my work intersects with my life in so many delicious and fascinating ways 🍔☕️🫒.

A special shout-out to and .dietetics - my two amazing mentees who are kicking goals as new dietitians 🥰👋🏻🙋🏻‍♀️.

Here’s to food and body peace ❤️🍝. Also to the fact that in 2 weeks, I’m off to Tuscany for some ground level ‘research’ into the Mediterranean diet 😆 and the Monash GASTRO DIET conference. 🎉🥳

In my most recent blog and recipe for I did a deep dive into the health benefits of chocolate 🫶🏻.

Here’s a wrap of what I learnt, but for the full deets and my best ever fudge brownie recipe with extra virgin olive oil

By popular request, here’s the recipe for my kale, zucchini and herb fritters (link to the full post on my website is in my instagram bio). 🥬💚🌱

Makes 8 large fritters

Ingredients:

4 eggs
6 spring onions, chopped
1 large zucchini, grated
100g feta cheese
2 big handfuls grated cheese
1 tsp each of dried dill, garlic powder & sumac
¼ cup chopped coriander
1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
2 cups chopped curly kale
¾ cup plain flour
Salt and pepper
Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Method:

Add eggs to a large bowl and whisk gently, then add the grated zucchini, washed and chopped kale and herbs, spices and cheese. Season and mix well.
Add the flour slowly, mixing to a thick, chunky batter.
Heat a good 3-4 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan, form the batter into messy balls with your hands, and plop 4 balls into the oil.
Cook the fritters for about 3 minutes each side, bringing the heat down to medium-low so as not to burn them. (give them a good squash with the back of the spatula, to flatten them out and ensure they cook through)
Remove and set aside on a cooling rack to drain (rather than paper towel), for maximal crispiness. You can add an extra sprinkle of salt at this stage if you like.
Repeat the process to cook the remaining fritters, then serve with a lime wedge, and if you like, a little Greek yoghurt or garlic aioli.

This here is a chicken, macaroni veggie soup with lemony, Parmesan, herby flavours. Just what I felt like!! Here’s the lowdown:

Finely chopped carrot (1), celery (2 small sticks) onion (1 small) and garlic (3 cloves), and some thyme and Rosemary from the garden, and the zest of a lemon, all sautéed in 2 tbsp EVOO.

Then I added about 5 cups chicken stock and 1.5 cups tiny macaroni and simmered for 8 minutes, seasoned with salt, pepper and some ‘Kentucky Fried Chicken spice’ cos it needed a bit more oomph.

Near the end I added about 2-3 cups chopped kales (little pieces, no stems) and about 1 cup diced leftover bbq chicken.

Finished with lots of lemon juice, parsley and some lemon infused oil drizzle on the top with a good dose of grated Parmesan.

It served 3 and there’s enough left over for someone to take a serve for lunch in their thermos 😎.

Make this and you too can feel like a thrifty dinedtic goddess ⭐️

Did you know that eating a variety of colours is one of the best ways to support gut health and reduce unwanted inflammation?

The bright pigments in food are markers for different antioxidants, that we now know feed our good gut bacteria, as well as protecting free radicals from being oxidized and causing damage to cells ( = fights premature aging, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease, even cancer).

Trying to get different colours on your plate is a simple, playful and positive way to look after yourself ☺️💫🫐🍊🥦🍆🍇🥑🌽

I think this might be my favourite meal all summer yet. Grilled lime and garlic salmon with a mango salsa and coconut rice. 😍

I didn’t have any coconut milk or water for the rice, but I McGyvered it with shredded coconut, a bit of cream and some random coconut oil I found in the pantry.

I’ll put the recipe link here because you’ve gotta try it - even just for how pretty it is 🌈
