“What’s the best potato for.....?” Is a question we get asked everyday! And fair enough, even though they look somewhat similar, they each have their own personality.

Dutch Creams are a perfect all-rounder, super smooth and buttery texture. We love them roasted, but you can also use them for mash, boiling or gratins.

Sebago potatoes are great when you want that nice crispy outside and fluffy inside combo. Think roast potatoes, potato chips/wedges and mash.

Kipfler are low in starch, so they hold their shape and have a firm waxy texture inside when roasting. They are usually slightly more expensive but so worth it. We love them roasted whole or boiled and served with butter & herbs.

Desiree are another great all-rounder with red skin and creamy flesh that holds well together. We usually use them for gnocchi or potato salad, or roast them for a different flavour.

Midnight pearl has a niche following, they are purple inside, so they are richer in antioxidants and add a bit of colour to your plate when you want to make your dinner a little more spesh. They have a slight earthy and nutty flavour.

We offer others throughout the year too like Nicola, King Edward, Red Pontiac, Neptune, Prince of Orange, Salad Rose, Queen Anne, Fidelia, Red Lady and more.

So dabble in different ones to find your favourite.

Here are a few simple things we do over winter that help us not get sick as much.

We try our very best to stay properly warm and eat that way too. Slippers at home are not negotiable, going outside into the elements is relished but we wear proper clothes that keep us warm, warm feet at night, and warming food throughout the day. We cook slow-cooked meals, broths and soups rather than cold lunches. Our immune system does its best work in a warm, well-nourished body.

We say no a bit more. Winter just isn’t the season for a packed calendar. Some catch-ups can wait until spring, and the right people will understand. Turning things down at this time of year isn’t being antisocial, it’s looking after yourself.

When the sickness warning signs come our way, we listen. You know the feeling. You wake up and your throat is just slightly scratchy, your eyes are heavy, and everything feels like a little more effort than it should.

There’s a moment right there where you can make a choice. Most people talk themselves out of it: it’s probably nothing, big day tomorrow, I’ll see how I go. And three days later they’re flat on the couch wondering what happened. 

In our houses, that morning goes differently. Whatever can move gets moved. Dinner is soup, and it’s early. The evening plans become a hot shower and bed by nine. It sounds almost too small to matter, but a simple, easy day is very often the difference between waking up well tomorrow and losing two weeks.

None of it is complicated, and we all know it deep down.

Staying warm and resting well is simple living.

We get asked a lot whether naturopaths ever get sick.

We do, we are human. But we do tend to get sick less often. We believe that it mostly because of the things we do to look after our health over winter. It's a different season, and we treat it that way.

But what do we actually do to stay well through winter:

We try our very best to stay properly warm and eat that way too.

If you need some inspiration on cooking warming foods, Mia Lackie, a passionate foodie & clinical nutritionist to be, is running our next cooking class called “Weird Winter Veg” this Sunday. Have you ever tried a Jerusalem Artichoke Risotto? Book here or phone us or see us in-store.

Finally, now that we’ve past winter solstice and the mornings are slowly getting lighter, we are now open earlier from 9:30am 7 days a week for you.

Stay warm and rest well,

Instead of asking google how to use celeriac, ask Mia Lackie this Sunday at our Seasonal Friends, Weird Winter Veg class!

We know using unusual fresh produce can sometimes be daunting, particularly when it’s not the prettiest vegetable.

Not knowing how to prepare it, whether the kids will like the taste or why it’s beneficial for your health are all valid reasons for why you might never put that vegetable into your basket.

But as Mia said, don’t put it back!

Come join us to learn all things about the wonderfully weird winter veg, how to cook them, taste them, and learn from a clinical nutritionist to be, so you can help diversify your meals and therefore, your gut microbiome.

Secure your spot through the link in our bio, or call the store.

How often do you throw together a salad of leftovers, with it being the side piece to a meal?

Here’s a little reminder that salads can be simple, yet still the centrepiece of a meal, or the meal itself.

Salads are the perfect excuse to pack lots of different textures, colours and flavours into one bowl and reap the digestive, antioxidant and wellbeing benefits.

With seasonal fresh produce, the options are actually endless.

We always have this Golden Harvest Salad, with a delicious Green Dream dressing, on rotation as soon as the Autumn pumpkins roll around.

Save this to your “too cook” album.

🥗Salad ingredients
2 cups kale
½ butternut pumpkin (cubed)
1 can chickpeas
2 tbsp pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
2 tbsp sunflower seeds
¼ cup pomegranate seeds or cranberries
1 punnet cherry tomatoes (halved)
⅓ cup quinoa
1 tbsp Best of the Bone broth concentrate

🫙Green Dream dressing ingredients
1 avocado
½ cup fresh parsley
½ cup fresh basil
1 garlic clove
3 tbsp nut milk
¼ cup olive oil
2 tbsp lime juice
Pinch of salt

Take the leap. Go out of your comfort zone. Try a new salad or dressing.
Or come to our Seasonal Friends Autumn Salad Special to learn how to.
