Welcome to my crazy world of real food cooking ...

Eat Food. Not too much. Mostly Plants. -- Michael Pollan

I wish I could take credit for that because I think it sums up how we should eat. Simply -- eat stuff that really is food, instead of stuff that is food like substance. The supermarket is almost entirely food-like-substances, and, my friends, you should probably never ever eat them.

Fortunately, there is a world of deliciousness out there, and it can all be had in a way that not only doesn't harm your health, but in a way that benefits you hugely.

I think it's important to eat stuff that satisfies you, that keeps your blood sugar stable, and that gives you stuff your body really needs to run optimally.

But baby, it's gotta taste good.

I really like getting experimental in the kitchen. I love cooking, I love layering flavours, and I love coming up with really super yummy food. I have very strong opinions about what constitutes food, and there are a lot of things I won't touch in the kitchen. Bottom line? Pretty much everything I make is ridiculously good for you even if it tastes decadent. Although there are occasional big fat cheats ... but even those stick to real food, my friends.

For food that is usual gluten free, usually free of cane sugar, usually super low on the glycemic index, full of protein, fiber, flavour, and excellent energy, join me and Alice down the rabbit hole.

Every recipe on this blog is my own original effort and idea, so please pass 'em on, giving credit where credit is due.

Many thanks, and come back often. I'm really glad you are here!

Cauliflower sauteed with Turmeric and Chili powder


I'm just crazy about sauteed vegetables. I like any thing from the brassica family sauteed with a little sea salt and black pepper. However, it is fun to liven things up with other choices, like ginger. I thought the pale creamy colour of the cauliflower would look beautiful tinted with the brilliant tones of chili powder and turmeric. As a bonus, turmeric has tremendous anti-inflammatory and disease fighting properties.


ingredients:

cauliflower, cut into florets
coconut oil
sea salt
chili powder
turmeric


directions:

1. saute the cauliflower in the coconut oil on low heat, adding sea salt, chili powder, and a generous amount of turmeric
2. eat with enjoyment
