And there’s now a fabulous new resource to help you do…
Wow another week and another powerful TED talk by a dietitian. I really admire Jo McMillan’s straight talking approach to food and nutrition. I was lucky to have lunch with her recently as we chatted our food philosophies and her upcoming TED talk. So it really was no surprise to see that she delivered fantastic content and…
Another slightly rushed Foodie Friday post. I’ve been off teaching food chemistry pracs to La Trobe nutrition and dietetic students again all day – you may like to follow along with #foodwithlatititude on instagram. So this is a quick post to share another stunning, hot new cookbook, exclusive recipe and giveaway. Suzy Spoon’s Vegetarian Kitchen Suzy has been cooking…

You may have noticed we had a little break last week? I hope you missed us? But we just felt the need to have an unplugged week to refresh our mojo for all things social media and nutrition. And having a beach house with crappy 3G coverage helped this along. I highly recommend you take a step back…
Don’t you love it when the planets align? I was getting set to teach food chemistry pracs this week and our key recipe is traditional moussaka plus a vegan, gluten free version too. And as I got the raw cashews ready to soak to make vegan cheese, it got me thinking about our recent #eatkit chat on serving…
