Phad Thai became one of my favourite weekly dinners after tasting it in Thailand. The key to success is to prepare all your ingredients prior to stir frying: vegetables and other ingredients can be varied according to taste, but always use ginger, spring onions, lots of soy sauce and lime, and fry in coconut oil, before adding fresh coriander. I […]
So now me and my partner are camping at a music festival in the Netherlands. The festival is an outdoor psy-trance music party and the outlook is pro-environment and nature. The food is wholesome and vegan. I am outside, in the countryside, and the sun is shining, so my vitamin D intake is optimum today. We have a cooling bag […]
Since Monday, I have been with friends in the Netherlands who I have known since I was 8 years old. They are like extended family for me due to the duration of our familiarity, and even though we hardly ever all have the time and opportunity to get together, I now realise how much we share.

Sukin is not expensive and is environmentally friendly. […]
Houmous time. Really easy. Chick peas, tahini, natural yoghurt, lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, a few spoons of pickled beetroot juice for colour. Salt if you want. Pepper for sure. Did you know that tahini is really good for calcium? Sesame seeds have 9% of the RDI in 1 tablespoon (9 grams), plus other minerals, including copper, iron […]
So today I decided to buy and to use a bamboo toothbrush. I must admit that I was in a bit of a dilemma about what to do. As a woman approaching the latter end of my forties, I have noticed how my teeth and hair and general health have changed. At the same time, the environment appears to be […]
