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...
Baking is a bit of an art at the best of times, but Paleo baking is a bit of different animal. You're baking without gluten, sometimes with more fats, and definitely with flours that don't act like conventional wheat flour. Here's a little guideline that I've put...
If you love to make Asian food like I do, especially Thai or Vietnamese deliciousness, you need fish sauce in your pantry staples. While it whiffs a fair bit and doesn’t taste great on its own, it's a must for creating those quintessential southeast asian flavours....
