Asian Kelp Noodles with a Citrus Punch – BAM! POW! WOW! (Gluten-Free, Paleo, Vegan)

Asian Kelp Noodles with a Citrus Punch – BAM! POW! WOW! (Gluten-Free, Paleo, Vegan)

The magical thing about Asian food, and why I love it so much, is because it reminds me of some very distinctive memories. Every mouthful takes me on an exotic journey back in time to my intrepid adventures through the region. A particular flavour may remind me of that one time I did this or that… and you know how the stories go (no one likes a travel bragger).  I love that about food; the power of it to evoke strong emotions that are tied to specific memories and experiences. The food itself is pretty good too. The dishes are fresh, zesty and bursting with flavour. They’re drenched in tradition and culture, with recipes being passed down through the generations. That’s the kind of legacy I wish to leave for my children-that-have-yet-to-be-formed-in-my-womb (and are not on my radar for the foreseeable future). Sorry, too much?

Slow Cooker Lamb and Pumpkin Curry (with Minted Yoghurt and Turmeric Cauliflower Rice) - The Urban Ecolife

Who doesn’t like frothing over yummy photos of mouthwatering edible stuff… aka food p*rn. Hence, you’ve probably noticed that amongst all the sustainable living and green propaganda, I do feature a lot of real food/paleo/primal recipes on my Facebook and Google+ pages, and even dabble in a few myself.

Roasted Capsicum and Walnut Dip

When hummus just won’t do, and you want to spice up the party, I recommend a little something like this fiery roasted capsicum and walnut dip. Speaking of parties, right now I’m totally overwhlemed by an endless trickle of going-away parties and the fact that all my friends are leaving Brisbane. Yes, there’s a movie called that, and yes, my life reflects this sad reality right now. Ok, maybe not all  friends but enough to make me sob miserably into my hankie. Read more

Moroccan Salad with Pumpkin, Cauliflower & Cashews and a Coconut Dressing

Posted on by Emily UebergangPosted in Recipes |1 Comment

Morrocan Salad. It’s getting HOT HOT HOT here in Brisbane. For those of you who follow from afar, it’s Summer where I am. Before you get jealous, because if you’re anything like me, you have a severe dislike for the cold and the only good thing about Winter is cuddling up to the (imaginary) boyfriend and sipping red wine by the (imaginary) fireplace. Not to mention, you also waste too much mental space being constantly jealous of the other hemisphere even though it’s inevitable that winter will roll around the same time each year. The reality of the picture is, you’re actually shivering your little buttocks off whilst spooning your hot water bottle and damn the toilet seat for being too freaking cold to sit on that you’re forced to do the crouching tiger.

FAT PARTY! Healthy Fats Recipe Round Up & Everything you need to know about fat - The Urban Ecolife

Fat has a had it tough. The term ‘healthy fats’ just doesn’t seem to roll off the tongue like the term ‘low-fat’ does *cough cough*. Even if it did, most people have a pretty skewed idea of which ones are and aren’t the healthy fats. The kind of healthy fats I’m talking about have sadly spent the last half century suffering from slander and bullying. They’ve been blamed for everything from heart disease to cancer, puberty pimples, (probably) the break up of the Spice Girls and the bloody Nazi regime. Poor fat.
