Paleo Hacks
SWITCH THINGS UP WITH SWITCHEL
One of my favourite drinks back in Oz (besides wine) was switchel. It’s like a healthy Gatorade/electrolyte drink made with natural ingredients and perfect for this hot weather here in Dubai. With a base of apple cider vinegar (the raw, fermented variety containing...
BAKE IT BABY!

Sweet Chilli Jam
I don’t get people who don’t like spicy food. It’s like saying you don’t like puppies or rainbows or nailing the lyrics to Ice Ice Baby when it comes on the radio. Spicy food is the tits and if you don’t agree well, I’m afraid you’re wrong. So if...
Steak Sauce
