To start the New Year fresh and clean I’d like to present you a recipe from Meredith Baird’s Coconut Kitchen, one of my Christmas books.

Christmas time has been too busy to start out trying new […]

A chilled gazpacho, bread and olive oil are quickly taken to a shady place in the garden or to a sun chair on the balcony. minimalist gazpacho […]

It has high concentrations of curcumin which has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-bacterial properties. It helps to prevent or relieve symptoms of […]
