I have had super foods on the brain as I gear up for the first run of my bran shiny new workshop formerly known as Raw Super Food Power. All week I have been working away at the recipes and info for the two-hour session and have been so inspired by the amazingly delicious ways we can enjoy food as medicine. I don’t know about you but I would so much rather eat a cacao nib filled cookie than pop a magnesium supplement. Food as medicine is one thing, but cookies as medicine… Oh wow!

I was afraid you might start hating me; resenting me for putting you through this as the momentum may be wearing thin. Seems by Friday, a lot of people lose their healthy eating motivation. [...]

Catherine Farquharson is a photographer. She is my favourite photographer. Not only does she take outstandingly gorgeous photos that make me want to put other people’s baby and wedding photos on my wall, but she had a birthday party in the park, and that makes her an eco-hipster too.
