Unlock the power of self-awareness, self-compassion, and a growth mindset to transform your health, reduce stress, boost creativity, productivity, and happiness
In a fast-paced world filled with challenges, obligations, and aspirations, many of us spend time chasing success, money, and status often to the detriment of our wellbeing and connection with ourselves, our loved ones, and our natural environment. As a result, we feel chronically stressed, never good enough, and frankly quite unhappy. This is a recipe for illness whether mental or physical. If taking time for self-care isn't prioritised and comes with a sense of guilt, how can we ever possibly find peace, ease, and look after our needs?
It is clear from this that having a mindset that supports self-care is foundational to achieving a balanced life. It starts with self-awareness, self-compassion, self-acceptance, in this order.

Oven Baked Veggie Packets
These tasty little packets are an exciting way to get more veggies into you and an opportunity to use up leftover vegetables because, really, you could put just about anything inside the rice sheets. Here I have provided two vegan options for the filling. One is a raw filling that was inspired by David Frenkiel and Luise Vindahl’s “Little Green Kitchen” cookbook. The other is a detox friendly, cruciferous veg based, precooked filling. You could easily add chopped tofu, minced meat and bacon to add protein and sustenance.

Gooey toro don
Tuna is a rare treat in my household as we normally avoid it for its potentially high mercury content, but we’ll indulge a couple of times a year and when we do, this is what we make using high quality fatty tuna. It’s not just the tuna that is gooey but the okra and natto too. It’s hearty, light and filling. Simply delicious.

Chocolate lover, look here. I came up with this recipe to use up all the spare egg whites, but don’t be fooled to think that this is whatever leftover-based dish. It’s remakably light yet it has an intense chocolate flavour. Plus it has no added sugar., so it is a guilt-free treat. It’s so good that now I find myself looking for recipes using egg yolks instead!

Sweet potato and kohlrabi mash
This is a refined alternative to potato mash in my opinion. The sweet potatoes impart a joyful orange hue; the kohlrabi makes the texture fluffy; and a hint of coconut cream makes the ensemble utterly smooth. The sweetness of the potatoes is balanced by the earthiness and bitterness of the kohlrabi. Frankly, this is a gourmet side dish.
