You'll probably remember that I graduated from uni a few months ago and have since been on the lookout for possible job opportunities. Well to be honest, there has been a lot of thinking about what I can <i>actually </i>do and what I <i>want </i>to do. So when I saw the application for this particular internship - it sounded perfect.<br />
<br />
As of a few weeks ago, I'm the new Recipe Developer intern for <i>I Quit Sugar (IQS). </i>Woop! So pleased to find an internship that brings together my skills and experiences ... nutrition science, food market work, blogging, recipe writing and just getting excited about food! As you can imagine, it is <i>seriously cool </i>to go behind-the-scenes of a website and program that only started a few years ago.<br />
<br />
I'm interning with the lovely Meg, who is the Recipe Developer - and we're currently developing and testing lots of recipes for the 8 week program next year. It really is such a thrill to be doing something I <i>love </i>- and meet lots of like-minded people. Oooohh and working in a hip Surry Hills office with so many good coffee shops on the same street ain't so bad ;)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yep, everyone brings lots of awesome lunches to work! As there's a proper kitchen, a lot of people are often roasting veggies or heating up leftovers. The other day I brought some leftover marinated lamb with veggies. </div>

Since starting, I've been wanting to try some more recipes from the <i>IQS </i>books. A week ago I made this simple fennel tart with macadamias and cinnamon from the <i>IQS for Life </i>book. It really is so easy - a winner!</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">And today I decided to try out some </span><i style="text-align: left;">sour kiwi fruit gummies </i><span style="text-align: left;">using the new </span><i style="text-align: left;">IQS </i><span style="text-align: left;">gelatin - made from pasture-fed beef in Australia. I've never really played around with gelatin before and was really surprised how easy it was, they are so moreish!! The recipe literally has gelatin, water, kiwi fruit, lemon juice and a touch of rice malt syrup. Will definitely be playing around with flavours ... </span></div>

Some of you may be wondering ... if I've <i>quit sugar? </i>I suppose the short answer is no ... though interestingly since working there I haven't actually eaten sugar. I'm not going to say no to the occasional cake, and Adrian and I are having a little engagement party next week - I'm sure people are going to bring cake!<br />
<br />
Have a lovely weekend everyone ...<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Hello :) So, about time I made another post! Seems rather relevant to do a post about my twenty-third <i>birthday</i>, though it was almost four weeks ago - as it was an exciting and eventful few days!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Birthday picnic ... </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So in the morning (we both took the day off work, how indulgent!), Adrian and I went to <i>blues point</i> to have a picnic around lunch time. So thankful the weather was perfect.<br />

Ok so after lazing in the sun for a little while, we headed off to the city. I knew we were staying in a fancy hotel, but didn't know which one. Turns out it was <i>The Westin </i>at martin place!

Around the time of my birthday, we were already having conversations about getting married, as we've been dating for almost 5 years - we already <i>knew </i>we were going to be staying together. So rather than some big surprise, it was more a mutual decision - which suited us and was very nice!</div>

Hello :) You know it's funny, ever since graduating with a nutrition degree a few weeks, it's almost as if I've been wanting to pursue other interests! It probably has something to do with the fact that in the nutrition industry nowadays there are <i>so</i> many opinions (many of them not very scientific!) that I'm still figuring out where I fit in or exactly what kind of job I want to have. </div>

One of my <i>other </i>interests of late has been all things skincare and makeup. I think it was spurred on by an interview I read with beauty columnist and author Sali Hughes in the latest <i>dumbo feather </i>magazine, and really enjoyed reading about her honest and thoughtful ideas around beauty. I've since watched <i>many </i>of her youtube videos, bought her beauty book <i>pretty honest </i>which is excellent and have been to <i>mecca </i>a few too many times. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
About a month ago I even applied for a short internship involving blogging and writing for a natural makeup artist and got it - really thrilled! So thought I'd do a skincare-themed post to celebrate ... let's talk face oils!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I really <i>love </i>using oils in my skincare routine! For a little bit more on the benefits of facial oils I like <a href="http://www.sarahwilson.com/2015/04/toxin-free-beauty-why-i-use-oils/">this</a> straightforward post from Sarah Wilson and <a href="http://www.sarahwilson.com/2015/04/the-oils-i-use-a-personal-listicle/">this</a> one for more recommendations on which one to use. I have probably been using face oils for about two years, since I used to sell <i>Araucana </i>rosehip oil at my marrickville market stall until a year ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are three of my favourite face oils ... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxj8CvHGJ-juKRa-WBjHcVC-esChHIsi48VjCN1lMLFo2O31t_gFNR2sKrTFCwKeaVZibbWfqnl3er4GO5yapa0V3x-QKfESNusuS88A0LtLu1yRFnOwaoTUmXdUpsMl16mLQ9EVkdSg/s1600/IMG_5274.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxj8CvHGJ-juKRa-WBjHcVC-esChHIsi48VjCN1lMLFo2O31t_gFNR2sKrTFCwKeaVZibbWfqnl3er4GO5yapa0V3x-QKfESNusuS88A0LtLu1yRFnOwaoTUmXdUpsMl16mLQ9EVkdSg/s400/IMG_5274.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>1. <i>Araucana </i>rosehip oil. </b>This is a really fantastic and organic rosehip oil which is made in small batches - and perfect to use in the evening and you can even mix 2-3 drops in a night cream if you want a bit more nourishment. Rosehip oil is anti-inflammatory, a dry oil (which means it won't leave an oily residue) and I like that it is just the one pure ingredient.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>2. Face Hero from <i>go-to skincare</i>. </b>I bought this about a month ago, as I love using the cleanser, exfoliating swipeys and moisturiser from the range. Having a bit of a girl crush on the owner Zoe Foster helped with the purchasing decisions, but, more importantly, the products really do what they claim. The cleanser actually cleans really well, the swipeys leave your skin really smooth and fresh and I really love the thick texture of the moisturiser, which I find acts as a nice primer under tinted moisturiser. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, the face oil is really light, hydrating and absorbs into the skin really well. Sometimes I'll even mix a drop of it into my moisturiser in the morning. Even if it's a bit pricier than other face oils (well, compared to pure rosehip oil), it does come in a 30mL bottle, which is 10mL more than most face oils.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>3. <i>Sukin</i> hydration booster. </b>I kept using the tester at my pharmacy job, so finally I just bought a bottle a little while ago. It is a mix of jojoba, almond oil, argan and immortelle, with a light scent of rose. This one is really well priced and I think it feels quite similar to the <i>go-to skincare </i>face oil. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I find when I use one of these oils in the evening, my skin looks a lot more plump and nourished in the morning. To be honest though, I'd say they all produce similar outcomes - so it probably just depends on the price and scent as to which one you'd like! <i>Jojoba</i> is another fantastic oil (well, it is actually a wax!) and does a fantastic job at removing eye makeup and is lovely as a body moisturiser post shower. <i>Almond oil</i> is also very light and soothing - which I've used in the past as a face moisturiser and makeup remover.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Bonus tip - </i>keep your face oil in a cool, dark place as sunlight can oxidise the product and it may go off a lot quicker!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Another bonus tip - </i>when applying a face oil, don't forget to give yourself a little massage! My favourite youtube clips to watch about facial massage is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJw7KYPz-KU">this</a> from <i>into the gloss </i>and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdkgqXBXprY">this</a> one from <i>lisa eldridge. </i>It creates a nice, little evening routine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Do you love using facial oils ? </b></div>

Hello :) I went to Marrickville markets on Sunday for the first time in about two months, and came back with lots of fresh produce - excited to cook! At the moment I find myself eating out a bit, working till late and generally not getting home all that often so it's so nice to take time to visit the markets (as a customer) and spend a Sunday getting grounded and back into the swing of healthy eating!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I ended up buying two cabbages (a savoy and green one), a whole bag of avocados, locally made organic brown rice miso (lovely in hot water with chives instead of tea), fresh turmeric, flax crackers that were on sale, lemonade lemons (that you eat like oranges, they're so sweet!) and a plethora of other greens ... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As I'd bought two cabbages, I decided to make some simple sauerkraut in a big glass jar (I'd have used my fermenter bucket but there's fermenting kimchi in there!) and had the idea of making a <i>big </i>batch of green salad to have for the next few days. I definitely need more veggies in my life! I added finely chopped cabbage, cucumber, fennel, kale, red onion and dill to a bowl and gave it a good mix with some peppery olive oil and sea salt ... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For lunch we had some of the salad with marinated lamb ribs baked in the oven with brussels sprouts and some turmeric potato bread on the side (from the Irish soda bread stall). </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then for a quick breakfast today I had a big handful of the salad with two boiled eggs, some feta and fermented beetroot. Salad for brekky ain't that weird, promise!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now I know meal planning or batch cooking isn't all that new, but after making a big batch of the salad on Sunday and popping it in a container - I realised just how easy it was to eat more vegetables if I have a nice, fresh salad already prepared! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Firstly, as a nutrition student (graduating in just over a week!) it obviously helps me to apply my nutrition knowledge to a practical job - having conversations with people about gut health, probiotics and recipe ideas for their kimchi! What has also been interesting is learning and thinking about the idea of perception when it comes to cooking and how some things that seem hard to make aren't really!<br />
<br />
At the markets we sell a DIY fermenter kit, which is basically a 5L bucket that comes with a tap, out gasser, muslin cloth and depending on what you want to make (i.e. sauerkraut, kimchi or beetroot/apple) we also give you the right instructions and recipe (i.e. the weight of the vegetables to buy etc) and a packet with the correct ratio of salt, spices and a probiotic sachet. Well for weeks I'd been encouraging people to buy one (so economical! so easy!) without really considering it myself (so difficult! not enough time!) - when really it was the perception of it all that stopped me.<br />
<br />
So about 6 weeks ago I decided to <i>finally </i>give it a go myself - I bought a bucket and packet for sauerkraut making, which is a good one to start off with because all you literally need to buy is a cabbage (though I added purple kale and garlic too). Essentially all you do is wash the equipment, mix the salt and spices with the shredded vegetables, wait an hour, wrap in a muslin cloth, pop in the bucket, mix in some water with the probiotics, add a weight, fill the water lock halfway and voila! Well, then you just need to wait 3-4 weeks - the not so fun part. There are of course different ways to make fermented vegetables, and you don't necessarily <i>need </i>a probiotic sachet (it just adds more lactobacillus bacteria).<br />

really quite easy and for the past two weeks I’ve been eating the finished
sauerkraut most days now for breakfast and dinner. I added some extra chopped
garlic and it really is quite delicious! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hello :) Here's the recipe to some <i>really </i>nice biscuits that I've made twice already in the past few weeks. They have a base of spelt flour and almond meal, with lots of spices like ginger and cinnamon in there too. I love that it makes a big batch too - perfect for enjoying with cups of tea throughout the day and gifting to friends. Instead of galangal I used a mixture of grated ginger and crystallised ginger ... (obsessed with crystallised ginger, instant warmth!)</div>

</div>
Hello :) With all this crazy Sydney weather I have been cooking <i>quite </i>a bit of late. It helped that I bought <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/My-New-Roots-Inspired-Plant-Based/dp/0804185387">my new roots</a></i> cookbook the other week, and in the past few days I've made four of her recipes - can't stop! Looking at these photos - I have been making a few interesting breakfasts lately ... mixing up my usual boiled eggs and kimchi on sprouted toast routine.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Breakfast from last Sunday - multigrain pancakes from<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Super-Natural-Every-Day-Well-Loved/dp/1580082777"> <i>super natural everyday</i></a> - these combined wholemeal, oat and rye flour with tangy buttermilk. Really nice .... </div>

I made almond milk the other day and kept the leftover "pulp" (essentially almond meal) in the fridge to make into something. Luckily in <i>my new roots </i>cookbook there's a recipe for these <i>moon macarons </i>made with leftover almond pulp, coconut butter and a few other goodies I just happened to have as well as a cacao / coconut oil dipping sauce. Was quite surprised with how delicious they are!! </div>

Next week I'm looking forward to ballet classes, maybe seeing a spanish <a href="http://www.spanishfilmfestival.com/sessions/sydney">film</a> and going to <a href="http://www.alfios.com.au/">Alfio's</a> for the third and final time before it closes in a few weeks … </div>

Oh yesterday I also joined <i><a href="http://www.mindfulinmay.org/">mindful in may </a></i>which if you haven't heard of is a monthly challenge where you meditate for 10 minutes per day (you receive an online course book) and fundraise for clean water projects for those in need. Is anyone else participating? I've written a few posts on mindfulness here, and go to yoga 1-2 times a week ... but have never really committed to <i>daily </i>meditation, so really looking forward to the challenge!!</div>

Hello :) I haven't shared any photos from my <i>europe trip </i>that I went on late last year, cause to be honest there was just so many places to get through & I haven't really made time for regular blogging. Though lately I've been having fun going through the photos again so thought I'd do some posts on selected places. Let's start with <b>Berlin</b>, which was actually the last place we visited before flying home ... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had initially wanted to spend at least 5 days in Berlin after hearing about how <i>cool </i>the city was, however got the dates mixed up (oops!) and so we only had 3 nights. But we managed to fit quite a few things in those few days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I found <i>berlin </i>to be the mostly liveable place - everyone spoke english and there seemed to be lots of Australians around, loved the bikes everywhere and all the cafes and flea markets and the really good coffee. We stayed in a nice air bnb apartment around the Kreuzberg area.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For dinner on the first night we went to a kebab shop on the street called <i><a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Restaurant_Review-g187323-d1341041-Reviews-Mustafa_s_Gemuese_Kebab-Berlin.html">Mustafas</a> </i>that our friend had said apparently had the best kebabs. We totally didn't realise how popular this place was and ended up waiting for an hour in the line!! So, we got two kebabs each cause we were <i>so </i>hungry by that stage. The kebab was pretty amazing though ... delicious chicken, roasted veges, fresh veges, feta on top & this yummo sauce. </div>

</div>
Hello :) I have been following the <i><a href="http://collectiveharvest.com.au/">collective harvest</a> </i>for some time on instagram, seeing all the colourful and inspiring pictures of vegetables each week. You can read more about the concept <a href="http://collectiveharvest.com.au/pages/how-it-works">here</a> if you're not familiar, but basically each week they source local organic produce from farms around sydney and pop a generous selection in a tote bag to collect on top of the paramount building in surry hills each saturday morning.<br />
<br />
Well, on the weekend it just happened that I had a rare saturday off from work & saw on instagram that they had a few spare totes so decided to snap one up before having lunch in surry hills ... perfect timing! I suppose I love the concept so much because it gets you so excited about eating vegetables <i>!!! </i>A whole bag of locally sourced organic produce ... it inspires you to create beautiful, nourishing meals.<br />
<br />

Here's a super smiley Adrian posing with the tote, so hipster!</div>

<br />
Lately I've been working most days of the week, 4-5 of those days at the pharmacy. It's been nice getting to know crows nest a little more - I've had a few good finds at the vinnies, love the vietnamese food at <a href="http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/70/1928921/restaurant/Sydney/Mamas-Buoi-Crows-Nest">mama's buoi</a> and spend a little too much money at the health food store. I also joined the local yoga studio <a href="http://www.mantrayoga.com.au/">mantra yoga</a> and have been going to their morning hatha classes which are so nice and calming.<br />

And <i>fun new job! </i>Every second weekend you can find me running the <i>Ferment It </i>stall at Eveleigh markets (every other week still at the olive stall at Orange Grove markets) I really enjoy talking all about gut health, probiotics and digestion for a few hours!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Hello :) I hope everyone had a nice Australia Day! I went into the city and saw<i> thelma plum</i> and <i>dustin tebbutt </i>(beautiful voice!) perform near circular quay, browsed around the MCA, then came home and made this <i>simple summer pasta </i>for dinner while listening to triple J. Even more excited to see <i>chet faker</i> live in March since he won the countdown!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

On Saturday morning I went to Eveleigh markets again and bought some yummy ingredients with this dish in mind. I know everyone says when you have really good quality ingredients you don't need to do much - but it's true. This took about five minutes to prepare!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Ingredients ... </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>fresh strozza pasta</b> from pasta emilia (love their cafe in surry hills!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>salsa verde</b> from darling mills farm (this one had parsley, mint, tarragon, anchovies, capers, olive oil, lemon - so fresh and herby!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>kale </b>sauteed with garlic and ripe <b>tomatoes </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
a good pinch of <b>pepper </b>and <b>sea salt </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The fresh pasta was a treat - so silky and delicious and I thought the salsa verde was a fresh and zesty alternative to the traditional basil pesto. </div>

I have been back in Sydney for almost two weeks after my super fun Europe adventures! Adrian & I had an awesome five weeks away - and I'll probably blog about it in the new year. Highlights included seeing snow in Helsinki, all the Christmas markets (especially in Vienna and Prague), hiking around Switzerland (so beautiful!), relaxing in the Budapest baths and the walking tours around Prague and Berlin (I could live in Berlin!) … <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We both missed the Sydney summer sun though so it was nice to come back and I've had plenty of catch ups and good coffee since. Here's what I've been up to since returning ...<br /><div>

I went to <i>brickfields </i>in chippendale for the first time and oh my their almond croissants are amazing … they're big enough to share and are filled with almond goodness. Must go back for more treats.</div>

Well this is my last post for 2014 - have a lovely Christmas and New Years!!! We are spending Christmas day at home and I plan on making peach pancakes for brekky (from the smitten kitchen cookbook) and for lunch I'm slow cooking lamb to have with fresh salads and apple tarte tatin for dessert. Then dinner with extended family.</div>

Hello :) Two thursdays ago my friend Renee and I went to the new pop up restaurant from the <i>full circle </i>team called <i><a href="http://www.alfios.com.au/">Alfio's</a> </i>in Leichhardt. I went last year to their pop up called <a href="http://eatyourfreakingvegetables.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/the-eat-in.html">The Eat In</a><i> </i>- in a warehouse in chippendale and was super impressed, so knew I was in for a nice meal. This time they've used a former Italian restaurant that has been vacant for a few years and actually distantly remember going there as a kid. With <i>Alfio's</i>, you pay $50 per person for a set menu of 4-5 courses that changes each night - how fun!</div>

As you can see all the food was <i>superb</i>. The kinda food that I can imagine someone gathering from a produce market and cooking with friends with plenty of vino. <i>Alfio's </i>is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights for the next few months - so get in quick and reserve a table! </div>

I think this shall be my last post before I fly to Europe in a week (!!!) I forget if I've shared all the places I'm travelling to but here they are (in order)... Helsinki, Budapest, Vienna, Salzburg, Munich, Zurich, Gunten (near Interlaken), Lake Como, Prague & Berlin. I've written a few notes of things to see, but since we're staying in apartments I think it's more fun to ask the hosts what to do and discover things for ourselves. Too exciting! Also if you have any <i>must see </i>things to do for any of those places I would love to hear from you. </div>

Hello :) In two weeks from today Adrian and I will be on a plane to Europe, with our first stop being Helsinki! While he is busy finishing his honours thesis due next week, I'm planning all the real important things for our trip, like deciding which dental floss to buy and working out how I'm going to drink nice coffee everyday. I took the plunge (ha ha) and decided to buy an <i>aeropress </i>coffee maker, which is a nifty little device that makes a great cup of black coffee. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can read about it (<a href="http://www.aeropress.com.au/">here</a>) if you haven't heard of it before - but basically it's a really quick method of brewing coffee that uses filter paper to remove the coffee solids, air pressure to gently squeeze the grounded coffee for a smooth flavour & only takes about a minute to brew and serve. It comes with two cylinders, plenty of filter paper and a scoop and stirrer (which you don't really need). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I bought mine from the <i><a href="http://sensorylab.com.au/">sensory lab</a></i> in bondi the other week, and though I was a little sceptical at first -I've been making a cup of coffee with it most mornings! It is great if you love black coffee, though you could of course add milk. I'm also not buying coffee out as much now, as I have an easy way to make nice coffee at home. Will definitely enjoy using it overseas! </div>

Spent two weekends ago working both days at the first <i>chocolate festival </i>in circular quay at the Mayan Xocolat stall. We were making coffees and hot chocolates spiked with chili, cardamom and cinnamon - such a nice kick of flavour! I didn't make the coffee though, I was giving out samples, grabbing milk from the fridge, and on Sunday when it was super hot we started selling iced coffees so I spent most of the time filling up cups with ice!</div>

This morning was quite chaotic though, as I was working last minute at a toby's estate coffee stall at a market - just managing the cash register and taking orders, but oh it was hectic. We had a rush for a few hours, with everyone wanting their coffees at once! So when I got home feeling exhausted, some cake and a cuppa was in order.<br />
<br />
My nanna made this cake when I visited my grandparents last weekend - a classic from a Women's Weekly cookbook. It's a very simple butter cake with some caraway seeds for an extra punch, and I added some lemon rind to the recipe to give a little zing. Plus, we had a few large lemons from my nanna's tree!<br />
<br />
<b>Recipe: Caraway and Lemon Cake (adapted from a Women's Weekly cookbook)</b><br />
<b><i>Ingredients-</i></b><br />
180g butter<br />
1/2 cup sugar<br />
3 eggs<br />
1 tablespoon caraway seeds<br />
1 1/2 cups self raising flour<br />
1/4 cup milk<br />
zest or rind of 1 lemon<br />
<b><i>Method-</i></b><br />
Grease a 14cm x 21cm loaf pan. Beat butter and sugar in small bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy; beat in eggs 1 at a time, beat until combined. Transfer mixture to large bowl, stir in seeds, sifted flour, milk and zest. Spread mixture into prepared pan, bake in moderate oven about an hour. (I used a square pan so it only took around 30 minutes)<br />

This is a beautiful classic cake with all the right things! And it's nice every once in a while to make a cake with no <i>alternatives </i>(spelt flour, rice malt syrup, coconut oil etc!) if you know what I mean ...</div>

Have a lovely rest of the week! I'm working at a stall at the <i>chocolate festival </i>in the rocks this weekend - check it out if you want a day out in the sun eating delicious chocolates and pastries!</div>

Hello :) Friday night is when I start thinking about inspiration as to what to buy at the weekend markets, as I buy most of our fresh produce/meat/eggs/bread - & usually struggle carrying it all home! Sometimes I look through cookbooks or read foodie blogs and see if a dish grabs my attention, then stock up on whatever ingredients we need to make it. </div>

<br />
Two weekends ago I wasn't working at orange grove markets, so decided to check out pyrmont markets which are on once a month. It was pouring with rain for most of the time (lucky I wore gumboots!) - but was glad I made the effort as it was nice buying everything from producers that I don't usually see. The organic produce from <i>field to feast </i>was amazing and so fresh (they're also at marrickville markets) - I stocked up on new season garlic, fresh camomile and radishes.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJWI766W4toWhdxXLSqZYxwbRs6KiNL9W3xaYucfpqN7N-hH3LFhAPA345UYvJlQnARE-l_RVrJ-k8p6_woGtfy__VW4uANz2TsQyRwAUtlMrkCa_dsH1DI1gruVaBwF6ISBZKUSJGRg/s1600/IMG_5565.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJWI766W4toWhdxXLSqZYxwbRs6KiNL9W3xaYucfpqN7N-hH3LFhAPA345UYvJlQnARE-l_RVrJ-k8p6_woGtfy__VW4uANz2TsQyRwAUtlMrkCa_dsH1DI1gruVaBwF6ISBZKUSJGRg/s1600/IMG_5565.jpg" height="400" style="cursor: move;" width="221" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The camomile are currently drying (to make into tea) ...</div>
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With the produce from pyrmont markets I made a really nice roast pumpkin soup. I chopped up two little butternut pumpkins, roasted them with whole garlic cloves, then added them to a pot with hot water, some cumin, cooked barley and blended it all ... topping with butter and coriander. So creamy!</div>

Last weekend - on Saturday I was working at orange grove markets & had this <i>divine </i>cinnamon scroll from sonoma. Why have I not tried these before? Despite being topped with sugar and cinnamon they aren't actually overly sweet ... & have a delicious croissant like pastry. Too much.</div>

Peter, a friend and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner, describes both autumn and winter as the <i>yin </i>seasons while spring and summer are depicted as <i>yang </i>seasons. While <i>yin </i>seasons are cooling, contracting and passive, the <i>yang </i>seasons which we are transitioning into, are warm, expanding and dynamic. Both <i>yin </i>and <i>yang </i>are constantly ebbing and flowing - and this generally dictates our health, mood and energy.<br />
<br />
It's important to become <i>aware </i>of the seasonal changes we should make that accompany the warmer weather. So I thought I'd write a nice list of things to consider as we make this transition to a season full of renewal and rejuvenation.<br />
<br />

- <b>according to TCM, it is the <i>liver </i>and <i>gallbladder </i>that are the organs of focus for spring.</b> The liver, amongst other roles is responsible for moving the <i>qi </i>(energy) around the body - so stretching, exercising in the outdoors and eating green vegetables are all excellent ways to improve the liver's <i>qi. </i>I think I'm going to start swimming laps once a week, with the promise of a cold brew coffee afterwards ...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>- start to embrace cooling, raw foods. </b>In winter I made a lot of slow cooked stews, added ginger to my dishes and steamed a lot of veggies. That isn't to say we shouldn't have any more of these foods (in fact I'm making osso bucco tonight with homemade beef broth), however as it warms up, it makes sense to eat more raw, enzyme-rich vegetables and enjoy lighter meals. I have been making green smoothies (spinach, kale, frozen banana, green superfood powder, coconut milk, water) which I think is a nice way to transition into eating more raw veggies.</div>

<b>- for optimal digestion remember to soak your grains before cooking. </b>Grains are perfect to add into salads and Sally Fallon, author of <i>nourishing traditions </i>writes that the best way to soak your grains is with warm water and salt, which can remove phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors. I usually soak grains like barley and brown rice for a few hours or overnight, and less for smaller grains/seeds like quinoa and millet. </div>

I have actually started working with them on Sundays at a new market ... <i>Woollahra Artisan Market. </i>It only started yesterday and is on every Sunday till December, with the hope it'll start again in the new year! There are only 30 stalls, so it's small (just in a carpark on queen st) - but I had fun on the first day learning about fermented vege and then talking to people about all the benefits. It's a pretty amazing product - I'll talk more about it in another post.</div>

Well, at the end there were a few Afghani recipes and I noticed this cookie recipe which sounded quite divine. I promptly bought some pistachios and went home to bake them. The cookies have a really lovely flavour - I mean who doesn't love <i>pistachios </i>or <i>cardamom?! </i>I love <i>cardamom </i>so much at the moment - I always add a few crushed pods to my black tea. The cookies are also made from <i>rice flour </i>so they're gluten-free and give it a nice nutty shortbread texture.<br />

Hello :) This morning felt like Spring, so I made some <i>crepes </i>and sat outside in the sunshine. I've made a few crepe recipes in the past, and this time I just decided to google a top recipe and see how I go! Well they turned out to be super easy and really yummy. I reckon you could even make the batter the night before, and enjoy them as a weekday treat! I used wholemeal spelt flour and was happy they still turned out perfectly. </div>
