  • What's Better than Nut Butter?
    Sep 17 2024

    Not gonna lie, Yumi still sounds sick on this episode and mercifully Simon runs the show to talk through the uses of nut butter, in particular peanut butter!


    PEANUT NOODLE SALAD YOU'LL MAKE WEEKLY:

    Dressing

    140g peanut butter

    juice of 2 limes

    1/4 cup soy sauce

    2 tbs sesame oil

    2 tbs maple syrup

    1/4 cup water

    2 tsp grated ginger

    2 finely grated garlic cloves


    NOODLES:

    200g Udon noodles, cooked in boiling water according to the packet instructions then rinsed in cold water.

    1/4 cup of dressing

    3-4 finely sliced Lebanese cucumbers

    4 sliced spring onions

    1 cup of coriander leaves

    optional: 1/2 cup peanuts


    METHOD:

    Toss, taste and if necessary, add more dressing.

    Eat immediately and love it sick! Leftover dressing will last long enough for you to make this again,

    *Yumi recommends this with chopped red chilli.


    This recipe can be found in our cookbook - The Food Fix

  • 'Template' Granola, + Kiwi fruit for the win
    Sep 15 2024

    It's always* fun when you go viral, especially for an article you've written about bodily functions!


    One thing I didn't include in the article was a tip from my pelvic floor physio about what to eat for exceptional digestion! She really, REALLY wanted me to eat this food on the reg, so I did, and it's actually been pretty life changing!


    But how can you make it yummy? And not food = medicine?


    The trick might be adding it to this granola:


    TEMPLATE GRANOLA:

    750g rolled oats

    100g coconut fat

    100g honey or maple syrup

    3tbs ground cinnamon

    1/2 tsp ground cardomon

    pinch salt


    THAT'S THE TEMPLATE

    Then add in non-sweet things, eg.

    Pepitas

    roasted peanuts

    sunflower seeds

    pecans

    walnuts

    shredded coconut


    METHOD

    Toss everything together then roast in a low, 140C oven for 10 minutes.


    Add in the sweet things, eg.

    crystallised ginger

    raisins

    sultanas

    dried cranberries

    dried blueberries


    ...toss everything around, then back in the oven for another ten minutes until it's clumping together, smelling aromatic, sweet and nutty, and is starting to go golden.


    Allow it to cool before storing away in airtight containers.


    Serve with diced whole kiwi fruit (SKIN ON!), yogurt and ground flaxseeds.


    *not always

  • Boiled Bagels with Smoked Salmon and Capers
    Sep 10 2024

    We just did an episode about capers and I was fired up to talk about Smoked Salmon Bagels, given that they're a classic and I have eaten PLENTY.


    So what are some of the elements of the perfect Smoked Salmon Bagel?


    As usual, Simon knows a gobsmacking amount about a niche food (Caperberries and boiled bagels, in this case), and we leave you with a completed episode and a rumbling tummy. Is that you immediately heading out for supplies for tonight's dinner?
