Purple cauliflower. Is it not beautiful? And you may be thinking “is this really natural?”. Yes, it is! As part of the Brassicaceae family, just like red cabbage, it too can be found in this beautiful hue thanks to the antioxidant anthocyanin (also found in red wine my friends!). No dye, no GMO. Just an all-natural, super tasty bowl of steamed purple cauliflower tossed with bright summery lemon juice,...

Here's a recipe inspired by the cleansing and healing Ayurvedic dish called kitchari (a one pot meal of lentils and rice with spices). Yes, I said inspired.

If you are looking for an excuse to eat cake for breakfast then this recipe is for you. What you are getting today is a fresh seasonal mixed berry crumble cake. One I could burst out the emoji hearts for. It's packed with all sorts of fresh seasonal berries -- red currants, blueberries, raspberries and well just a few strawberries 'cause I felt bad not inviting them to the...
