Following on from our Vietnamese theme last week, it’s time to hear from our second Summer Sub. And yes, you guessed it. It’s another Vietnamese inspired dish to take you through every summer BBQ. About our expert: Lauren is a Melbourne based health sciences student looking forward to wandering down the path of nutrition and…
I am so loving getting to know our two Scoop Summer Subs, Laura and Lauren (try saying that quickly 10 times on a Google+ Hangout). Both of them are brimming with talent and ideas, so I felt very confident to hand this month’s Recipe Redux over to Laura. The theme is a cherished childhood food memory…
When this week’s Foodie Friday guest said they wanted to do a recipe with lupin, I was so there. Not only is La Trobe University doing research into this new “supergrain”, I had to admit I haven’t really checked it out. I know! A new food and I’m slow on the uptake. Let’s explore all things…
Did you notice we kinda skipped last weeks Foodie Friday post? Well let me just say Miss 12 broke her arm and then my mum broke her ankle walking in Japan. So I was a carer, not a blogger! But I’m back and very pleased to introduce you to our new Subs. Two people who…

A brand new form of Coconut Milk is now available with a cow’s milk consistency, plus calcium and kilojoule counts that make it a contender as a dairy replacement and not…
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…
Oh I am loving the warmer weather. Are you? The cherry blossom is out and asparagus is back. So for this week’s foodie Friday we are going to round up some creative and nutritious ideas for your spears. Let’s kick off with breaky. Not typically a meal to clock up a serve of veg, but…
Now you know we love our nuts at Scoop Nutrition. But when Australian Almonds told me they wanted to be a Scoop Supporter, we did a double big woot woot. You see, I’ve been testing a new recipe that is an absolutely blissful fit. It’s inspired by my new #scoopvintage, the New York Times Natural…
Did you know there is fascinating evidence to show that if you label a meal or menu item “healthy choice”, people often think it’s “tasteless” too? Dr Brian Wansink has shown that just the tweak of a few words in the dish descriptor can turn something drab to fab! And simply knowing where to place the healthy dish…
Can you imagine going to Queensland and not getting sand between your toes? Mr Surfer Dude would certainly not allow it. But after the Problogger Training Event last weekend on the Gold Coast I travelled inland, rather than heading straight to the beach. And atop an extinct volcano fell in love with the beautiful hinterland and fresh produce of Tamborine Mountain. So I…
