]]> This fermented cabbage is much simpler to make than kimchi and is still full of beneficial bacteria. Creating your own fermented foods is super satisfying and a great way to get more gut health-boosting microbial goodness into your diet.

Just be sure to sterilize your mason jar thoroughly and grab a pair of food gloves and you’re good to go!

Ingredients:

  • 1 large Chinese cabbage, or 2 smaller ones.
  • 3 carrots
  • 1 teaspoon Sichuan chili flakes
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 6 green onions
  • 4 cups brining liquid (3 tablespoons kosher salt dissolved in 4 cups filtered water)

Instructions:

  1. Sterilize a large mason jar.
  2. Clean and roughly chop the cabbage into 1-inch thick strips.
  3. Place the chopped cabbage in a large bowl and cover with the brining liquid. Cover with a plate to weigh the cabbage down and leave for 30 minutes.
  4. In the meantime, julienne the carrots into thin matchsticks, mince the garlic, and finely slice the green onions.
  5. Drain the brining liquid from the cabbage and reserve it for later.
  6. Add the carrots, onions, garlic, and chili flakes to the cabbage.
  7. Put on food cloves and massage the mixture for 5-10 minutes until it starts to release juices.
  8. Pack the cabbage mixture into the jar, packing it down hard with your fist.
  9. Top with the brining mixture until all the veggies are submerged in liquid.
  10. Leave out at room temperature and out of direct sunlight for 5-7 days. ‘Burp’ the jar each day by opening the lid to release the pressure.
  11. Taste the cabbage on day 5. If it’s sour enough then you can pop it in the refrigerator, ready to enjoy. If you prefer a tangier flavor, leave it out for a few more days.
  12. Enjoy!

]]> Egg-based desserts are criminally underrated. Popular in Europe, these sunny, creamy, and delicious desserts are perfect for when you have an abundance of eggs and don’t want another omelette.

Crème Brûlée

Crème Brûlée is made with just five simple ingredients. With a rich creamy custard middle with a crunchy sugared top, this elegant French dessert is ideal for your next dinner party. Get your teaspoon ready and turn the music off so you can listen to the satisfying crackle as you break into the top.

Basque Cheesecake

Requiring at least six whole eggs, this decadent Spanish cheesecake is one of the best things that come out of misjudging your grocery shop! It has no crust meaning it’s naturally gluten-free and is SUPPOSED to be burnt on the top. Basically, it’s divine and you can’t mess it up!

Pastel de Nata

These Portuguese custard tarts are little mouthfuls of creamy, vanilla-y delight. If you’ve ever been to Lisbon, you’ll know that no coffee break is complete without a flaky pastel de nata, and you’ll feel the same once you learn to make them yourself. A little more fiddly to create because of the buttery pastry, pastel de nata make a great Sunday afternoon project that you’ll get to enjoy all week (if they last that long!).

]]> If you’ve got lettuce that’s been hanging around in the fridge for a while, and you’re still not in the mood for a salad, this recipe is for you! Cooking lettuce may sound odd, but did you know lettuce is more often cooked than raw when it comes to Chinese cuisine?

Just like spinach, kale, and other greens, lettuce can be wilted down with garlic, oil, and spices into a warm, flavorful dish that’s still packed with green goodness!

Serve this garlicky sauteed lettuce as a side dish with rice, marinated tofu or your other Chinese-style favorites.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large head of Romaine lettuce, thoroughly washed, dried, and roughly chopped into strips
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground Sichuan peppercorns
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Chinkiang vinegar
  • 1/4 cup chicken/veggie stock

Instructions:

  1. Warm a large sauté pan with a lid over medium heat. Add the canola oil and heat for 1 minute, before adding the garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, red pepper flakes, and a good pinch of salt.
  2. Sizzle for a few minutes until the garlic and spices are aromatic and just starting to turn golden (don’t let it burn).
  3. Add the lettuce and stir well, then add the stock.
  4. Pop the lid on, turn the heat down to a whisper, and cook for a few minutes. The lettuce should be wilted but still have a little crunch.
  5. Once the lettuce is cooked, turn off the heat and drizzle the soy sauce and vinegar over the top.
  6. Enjoy!

]]> Raw honey is honey that has not been treated or pasteurized. Many of the benefits associated with honey are only found in raw honey. You can find raw honey in local farm or artisan food stores or buy it directly from local bee keepers. Here are some of the benefits of this natural sweet treat.

Great Source of Antioxidants

Raw honey is packed with phytonutrients, which are responsible for its powerful antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are essential for combatting free radicals and reducing oxidative stress, lowering your risk of diseases such as cancer and heart disease.

Antibacterial Properties

Did your Grandma ever tell you to have a spoonful of honey when you were sick? That’s because honey has natural antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory qualities that can help soothe sore throats and fight colds and other viruses.

Supports Digestive Health

Honey contains beneficial prebiotics. Prebiotics help feed your gut microbiome which is essential for healthy digestion.

But Remember… Raw Honey is Not for Babies

While raw honey from a reputable seller is generally safe for kids and adults, please note that it is not suitable for infants under the age of one. This is because it is unpasteurized and may carry bacteria that can be harmful to babies.

]]> If you’ve got lettuce that’s been hanging around in the fridge for a while, and you’re still not in the mood for a salad, this recipe is for you! Cooking lettuce may sound odd, but did you know lettuce is more often cooked than raw when it comes to Chinese cuisine?

Just like spinach, kale, and other greens, lettuce can be wilted down with garlic, oil, and spices into a warm, flavorful dish that’s still packed with green goodness!

Serve this garlicky sauteed lettuce as a side dish with rice, marinated tofu or your other Chinese-style favorites.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large head of Romaine lettuce, thoroughly washed, dried, and roughly chopped into strips
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground Sichuan peppercorns
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Chinkiang vinegar
  • 1/4 cup chicken/veggie stock

Instructions:

  1. Warm a large sauté pan with a lid over medium heat. Add the canola oil and heat for 1 minute, before adding the garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, red pepper flakes, and a good pinch of salt.
  2. Sizzle for a few minutes until the garlic and spices are aromatic and just starting to turn golden (don’t let it burn).
  3. Add the lettuce and stir well, then add the stock.
  4. Pop the lid on, turn the heat down to a whisper, and cook for a few minutes. The lettuce should be wilted but still have a little crunch.
  5. Once the lettuce is cooked, turn off the heat and drizzle the soy sauce and vinegar over the top.
  6. Enjoy!

]]> Raw honey is honey that has not been treated or pasteurized. Many of the benefits associated with honey are only found in raw honey. You can find raw honey in local farm or artisan food stores or buy it directly from local bee keepers. Here are some of the benefits of this natural sweet treat.

Great Source of Antioxidants

Raw honey is packed with phytonutrients, which are responsible for its powerful antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are essential for combatting free radicals and reducing oxidative stress, lowering your risk of diseases such as cancer and heart disease.

Antibacterial Properties

Did your Grandma ever tell you to have a spoonful of honey when you were sick? That’s because honey has natural antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory qualities that can help soothe sore throats and fight colds and other viruses.

Supports Digestive Health

Honey contains beneficial prebiotics. Prebiotics help feed your gut microbiome which is essential for healthy digestion.

But Remember… Raw Honey is Not for Babies

While raw honey from a reputable seller is generally safe for kids and adults, please note that it is not suitable for infants under the age of one. This is because it is unpasteurized and may carry bacteria that can be harmful to babies.
