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!

Strawberry Coconut Milk Ice Cream -- a vegan treat

I once had strawberry ice cream that had whole strawberries in it. Which is nicer in theory than in practice, because whole frozen strawberries are very hard to eat. There are no whole berries in this -- the whole thing has been pureed. But the high ratio f berries to anything else gives it a bit of a kick. Lovely strawberries and cream  flavour. It's vegan, gluten free, grain free, sugar free, and will increase your charisma 10 fold.






ingredients:

1 can organic coconut milk (400 ml)
1/2 cup coconut nectar
800 ml frozen (or fresh) organic strawberries (I used the 400 ml can to measure)

1 tbsp organic vanilla extract
1 pinch sea salt


directions:

1. puree everything together
2. chill
3. freeze in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturers directions
