It seems like forever ago that I promised to share some specific recipes using Home-made Fermented Pineapple Vinegar – and no wonder, the original recipe was posted eight months ago! Between taking a break from the blog and the really uninteresting ways I consume this vinegar (a pre-breakfast teaspoon of vinegar in water, flax-pineapple vinaigrette or citrus dressing for salads) I hadn’t really been …

I intensely regret making these delicious, decadent raw brownie bites – they were so fudgey and fabulous that I’ve had to hide some in the freezer so Kam and I don’t eat them all at once! I’m a sucker for anything ‘chocolate’ and these cacao snack balls are a rich-yet-healthier option for those pesky 3pm cravings. High in nutrients? Tick. Vegan, raw and paleo? …

I’ve learnt this week that talking about copyright infringement on Facebook is an area fraught with danger. While Facebook fighting is a widespread and well-known issue, I’m honestly amazed by the vitriol I received after questioning a  group I’m in about the practice of copy-pasting from blogs, due to copyright concerns and Facebook terms of service issues. The situation has been resolved thankfully, but certainly wasn’t …

Inflammation is an essential part of our innate immunity for infection control, where acutely it can be beneficial in helping us heal from trauma. We experience this kind of inflammation as PRISH – Pain, Redness, Immobility, Swelling and Heat. To illustrate, imagine having the flu accompanied by a sore throat.
