Healthy Kid’s Party Food
“When it comes to food at birthday parties, it’s my experience that children are very happy with whatever is served and usually eat it all, starting with the fruit plate! We have to let go of our old expectations and trust our children to appreciate what’s healthy, but fun, food” Mamacino Have you ever come home from a party and your child is bouncing off the walls, sick and irritable? It’s more than likely all the additives and the sugar-high from ‘traditional’...
Read MoreCoconut Vegetable Biriyani
Hooray! I finally found the recipe (after I cleaned up my office) on a tiny scrap of paper, covered in spices. I really had to make an effort to write this one down. I usually just go by feel with this and make it up as I go along. Anyway, it’s one of our family’s favourite recipes. Even the kids love it.

Read MoreEasy GF Zucchini Slice for the Thermomix
This recipe reminds me of my childhood in the eighties, when zucchini slice was the bees knees! It still tastes good. We eat vegetarian every second night and this slice comes in handy for those nights when I have lost inspiration in coming up with another lentil recipe! This will take no more than ten minutes to whip up and throw in the oven (thank you thermy). There is also the bonus of having leftovers for lunch. It is equally nice hot or cold. Okay, so this is what you need: 1 small organic onion, peeled and...
