Circadian rhythms – they’re important right? Yes of course. And our circadian clock is something I’ve been learning lots more about – thanks to my husband passing on his new found knowledge. He’s reading a book called ‘The Circadian Code’ (highly recommended) and, among other things, is now convinced on the benefit of natural light … Continue reading
Aloo Gobi is one of my favourite ways to feast on cauliflower. It’s an Indian vegan/vegetarian dish that’s quick and easy to make and packed with flavour. Flavour that comes from a few simple spices and a little desiccated coconut. Aloo Gobi is traditionally made with cauliflower and potatoes. But after my first few attempts … Continue reading
Is your New Year detox in full swing? Perhaps you’re trying hard to start 2019 by avoiding all things naughty and hoping to lose a few kilos in the process. I say trying because giving up things that taste great is never easy. Yes, most detox regimes can feel like deprivation – as it’s challenging … Continue reading
As a child my mother called me a ‘good-eater’, because every meal ended with a spotlessly clean plate. Growing up I even had a reputation for being able to out-feast my uncles during our family Christmas Day feast. They would sit back in admiration as I’d be the one going back for second and third … Continue reading
I want to live to a ripe old age. Reaching centenarian status could be ambitious but 90 or even 85 will do just fine. But, for me at least, more important than the numbers of miles on the clock, is getting right to the end in good health – fully mobile, mentally sharp and free … Continue reading
I’m more of a muffin maker than a cookie monster but last week I mixed things up a little. Why? Because I’m a stickler for routine and doing things I’ve always done. So, when something goes well in the kitchen I tend to put the recipe on repeat. It’s a good thing for someone like … Continue reading
My posts have been distinctively orange of late. It’s what happens when a surplus of something hits my kitchen – the surplus something overtakes the week. In this case oranges are not a fruit I usually buy. So, confronted with a recent surplus, juicing them didn’t appeal. But experimenting with non-conventional orangey treats did…. First … Continue reading
I must spend at least as much time reading the food blogs of others as I do writing posts to feature here at feastwisely.com. In some ways the reading bit is more enjoyable than the writing. Not just because it requires less brain power but because my fellow foodies are a big source of inspiration. … Continue reading
This Indian curry sauce first appeared on Feast Wisely earlier in 2016, when I discovered it as part of a recipe for chana masala by Rick Stein. Since then it’s become a regular part of my Indian feasts, but each time it presents itself very differently. That’s because the sauce itself is super adaptable – and … Continue reading
It’s not often I have a cooking nightmare. Perhaps because I stick to familiar ingredients and styles of cooking. And tried and tested recipes. But this week things didn’t go quiet according to plan in the kitchen. That’s because while making the simplest of hummus recipes I let my mind wander a little too much. … Continue reading
