Good morning from my kitchen. It's apple season so I'm trying my hand at applesauce #nofilterneeded • 💜🍎💜🍎💜 So my friends, do you add the sugar while the apples are cooking down or after? White or brown? • 💜🍎💜🍎💜 Any other tips for this applesauce virgin. Tagging a few friends but if you have secrets you want to share it will stay just between us 🤓 • 💜🍎💜🍎💜 Informed by science, cooked by you. Enjoy my friends 🤓

And SNAP it’s cold with not one but two fronts from Antarctica this weekend. It’s time for low and slow. After our endless summer in Sydney I’m loving the oven again adding that extra warmth and comforting smells to the house. I popped this Lechon Asado, Cuban style mojo-marinated pork shoulder, into the oven this morning and 6 hours later it’s a great little lunch for four. Plus leftovers for toasties on the weekend 👍 Tomorrow I’m going to slow roast a lamb shoulder Kleftiko style. Both extremely popular recipes are up on the blog, link in profile, or save for later. • 💜🌨️💜🌨️💜 I think I might just have the motivation to try and adapt my cinnamon roll recipe to a small batch driven by one egg. 🤔 • 💜🌨️💜🌨️💜 So my friends, what are you cooking up this wintery weekend? Tagging a few friends to start the conversation but if you’re reading this please do join in. • 💜🌨️💜🌨️💜 Informed by science, cooked by you. Enjoy my friends. 🤓

Squeal 🤗🤗🤗 Over Easter I burned out the motor on my stand mixer making hot cross buns. I spent the past month researching a replacement and decided to go with an all-in-one-food-processor-mixer. I went with the Magimix Patissier. Ok it's a buy once, cry once purchase but I love it straight from the box. Maybe this is how other women feel when they get jewelry 😆 Look it even has those little cookbooks. Four of them 😍😍😍 #everythingieverwanted #bestpresentever

I know guys. I'm wondering if the new food processor will fit on the kitchen bench too 🤔🙀🤓

Get out your thinking caps because it’s quiz time. Did you know that Migraineurs have lower levels of vitamins B2, B12 than non-suffers? So my friends, which of these super foods has your daily recommended allowance in a single serve? • 💜💜💜 What the Science Tells Us. As far back as 2005, a review of the scientific literature to date puts in context the important role of these vitamins for migraineurs. The overwhelming evidence is that migraine sufferers have lower levels of vitamins D, B2 and B12 than non-sufferers. The frequency of migraines is significantly reduced when the levels of these vitamins are raised to those of non-sufferers. Even older evidence exists that in women, below normal levels of vitamin D and calcium go hand in hand, and that a reduction in migraine frequency was achieved by increasing both. • 💜💜💜 The bottom line is that migraineurs need to be sure and reach their daily intake targets of vitamins D, B2, B12 and calcium. • 💜💜💜 So my friends, perhaps the best preventative medicine is a picnic lunch in the sun (vitamin D) with a hamper that includes pate (B2 and B12), cold roast pork (B2 and B12), feta cheese (calcium, B2 and B12), sun-dried tomatoes (magnesium and potassium), almonds (magnesium and potassium) and some preservative free dried apricots (magnesium and potassium). Skip the migraine triggering sourdough and other long proving/fermenting breads, just grab a fresh white baguette to keep it migraine friendly. Throw in some good company, a view (Greece perhaps?) and watch the world go by. • 💜💜💜 If you want all the details, access to the primary literature or any of the recipes check out my blog post, link in profile, and search for vitamins. • 💜💜💜 As always, whenever making lifestyle changes be sure and consult your healthcare team. Under no circumstances should you stop or start taking medication or supplements without their consent. • 💜💜💜 Informed by science, cooked by you. Enjoy my friends. 🤓

ANZAC Day has come and gone and it seems to have taken our #endlesssummer with it. The cooler weather has meant roasted meats this weekend. I prefer to roast meat on the bone for flavour. Also means that I have bones for stock. #nofoodwaste • 💜🍵💜🍵💜 Today's lunch is the first chicken soup of the season. I feel it's going to be a long one. So friends do share some of your favourites for inspiration 🤓 Tagging a few friends to get the conversation started but if you're reading this I'd love to hear your ideas. • 💜🍵💜🍵💜 Informed by science, cooked by you. Enjoy my friends 🤓
