I have had quite a few new people join my mailing list recently, so if you are new here, welcome. The reason I share these recipes is I have a diagnosis of Crohn’s disease and Endometriosis.

Gut friendly Kitchari (Lentil Dahl)
Happy Saturday Kitchari is something I was introduced to when I started studying Ayurveda (the healing sister science of Yoga). In Ayurveda, this meal is used to detox, reset, and heal the gut – and you know how that is a big focus for me these days. This recipe is really easy, I drop it all […]
My latest ferment – Milk Kefir… Have you tried it?
Hello, I was first introduced to kefir back in 2011… and man, do I wish I had kept it in my diet back then… I often wonder if I had paid more attention back then, would I not have crohn’s now? But, that’s not something I know (unless anyone knows how to transport into alternative universes???). Hindsight […]

I struggled to get napa cabbage, so used sweetheart cabbage instead and I don’t like radish. so I swapped that out […]

Super Lime Pickled Salad Sub
I hope you are well and enjoy these Saturday Kitchen posts… Eating is a joy… Which is not something I would have said 8 years ago. I had what I would now consider a lousy relationship with food for a long time. I would get stressed if I went somewhere for food and didn’t know […]
