I’m really passionate about affordable healthy food available to everyone. When you’re spending your hard-earned dollars on food it’s really important to know where to invest. I’m not about spending all your money in the health food store for the latest superfood or supplement. I’m about buying local edible plants straight from the farmer or growing what you can at home. I’m proud that I create recipes that are affordable and accessible to everyone.

I prepared a lot of plant-based recipes, just like how to make chocolate at home- you can check out my blog posts. I hope these recipes can help you enhance your cooking skills!

It’s The Nutrients In Food That Nourishes Us – FACT!

Vitamin pill, supplements, superfood powders all provide health claims that can be a distraction to what nature supplies us. Just imagine if broccoli had a marketing team behind it pushing a list of all the vitamins and minerals it contained?! Too many people follow a diet based on antioxidants and proteins – but what on earth do they look like? Do you know what an antioxidant looks like because I don’t? It’s the food that nourishes us – FACT! So my focus is on the food. To me, whole foods mean food as nature intended it to be, with as little human interference as possible. What does a carrot require from me? To eat it! All the nourishment is right there, it’s so perfect. The fun we get to have is in enhancing the flavours of these edible plants.

Sourcing Wholefoods – Shake The Hand That Feeds You

The simplest way to start your whole food journey is by visiting your local farmers market and “shake the hand that feeds you”. Support your local community and know exactly where your food is coming from. I personally love to trace the lettuce back to the field, to check the chemical-free conditions where it grew. I love our farmers. Not only do I have so much gratitude for them, but also the truck drivers, the seeds, the bugs, the sunshine, and the rain – everything that allowed me to be so lucky as to eat. So for many reasons I recommend you “shake the hand that feeds you” as much as possible. Farmers’ markets are the simplest and easiest way to start that food journey and to save a few dollars.

Affordable Healthy Food Is Easy When You Grow Your Own!

The best way to make food more affordable is by growing your own. Yeah, obvious right. Often we come up with reasons not to though. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s a full on veggie patch or a pot of herbs on the window sill, start with something. There is so much satisfaction in preparing and eating a meal straight from the garden and into the kitchen – it’s how I roll as a chef!

So yes it can be expensive to eat healthy, compared to eating processed rubbish. But if you shop smart and local and grow a few things at home then whole food living is VERY affordable. All my recipes are based around accessible, affordable ingredients and in my Super eBooks and Online Cooking Programs I also give little tips about where to source ingredients and how to choose them. Remember your health is an investment, so spend more where it counts, it’s like having the best health insurance EVER!
