Recipes

Here you will find a range of my favorite recipes tried, tasted and created in different kitchens around the world!

Being a nomadic traveling yogini means no facilities to cook and get creative in the kitchen on a regular basis so when I happen to be in a place with a kitchen and local markets it is more then likely I will get inspired and cook, experiment and create some tasty dishes. I like to incorporate fruit and vegetables which are in season, organically grown and ideally are locally sourced hence the local markets!

All the recipes here are either vegetarian, vegan or raw as this has been my stable diet since birth and I highly encourage you to research and educate yourself on your own constitution and your metabolism to ensure you can maintain optimum health all of the time! If your body craves meat or eggs for example it is a sign your body is lacking certain vitamins and minerals so take care of yourself and listen to the wisdom of your body for it knows what you truly need. And yes listening to that craving chocolate is total fine too!

Quinoa Salad

A quick and easy to make salad for all occasions! Quinoa is high in protein and fibre and can be eaten hot or cold. For exact cooking instructions look on the packet or ask google. How to make: Chop up a variety of raw greens and vegetables. I used kale, parsley, garlic chives, cucumber and capsicum. Lightly steam broccoli and sweet potato while you are making the quinoa. The measurments are generally one cup of quinoa to two cups of water serves two people and it takes 15 – 20 minutes to cook. Let the steamed vegetables and quinoa cool down, then mix them in with your chopped raw greens and vegetables. Add dressing, salt and or peppa to your taste buds, I personally love tahini on all salads!

Watermelon Revitaliser

Watermelon juice is not only great for hydration but also is rich in antioxidants and potasium and vitamin B! How to make: Cut up the desired amount of watermelon into bite size pieces and put them into your blender. Sprinkle cinnamon powder on top for added flavour and revitalisation! Add half a glass of water into the blender and blend until the watermelon has turned into liquid. Enjoy!!!

Laura’s Nutritious Soup

One of my gorgeous friends Laura made this quick and really nutritious soup for me. I stood in her kitchen and watched her create this tasty dish in about 20 minutes. How to make: Cut and peel 3 regular sized sweet potatos into small pieces and place in boiling in water. Cut 2 red pepper into thick slices and lightly fry in coconut with onion and garlic (optional). Once the sweet potato is soft and the red pepper is slightly brown blend them together until smooth and creamy with 2 cups of water, including any extra seasoning or flavours such as tamari, salt, pepper etc. Roast sunflower seeds in a pan with tamari and sprinkle on top. Thank you Laura!

Power Packed Porridge

Oats in general are full of goodness including being high in fibre and they apparently lower cholesterol too. How to make: Soak your oats for a minimum of 10 minutes in water and or your choice of milk. Place the pot on a stove and cook until ready stirring occasionally. Put your desired amount in a bowl and a dolop of coconut oil, add blueberries, strawberries, rasberries on top. Sprinkle with bee pollen and cinnamon. Drizzle honey or agave nectar on top. It is optional to put all the ingredients in the pot which makes the berries slightly stewed.

When we spending many months in hot climates hydration is important! This Hydration With A Twist drink was created with curiosity of mixing different flavours.
