Gotta love us a chia pot ‘cos it’s sort of like having pudding for brekky!

We now have these on one of the mornings at retreat and they are a hit with our participants. A great source of both protein and fibre, and yummy on the taste buds.

This is one of Nadia Lim’s recipes that we have started making at the Retreat. We wanted to introduce a vegetarian dish that was still packed with protein, nourishment and lots of flavour. We serve the burgers on a bed of herby slaw, and they are a hit amongst the participants. We trust you love them too :)

Are you looking for a colourful, fresh summer salad with a bit of a Mediterranean influence? Try some juicy, grilled chicken drizzled with a tangy lemon garlic dressing over a fresh Greek salad . It’s healthy, filling and oh so tasty.

Do you get half way through Winter, and want to head into some more salad based meals but still need something warm? Then this is for you. An exciting combination of warm roasted carrot and pumpkin (can be substituted for kumara), fresh spinach leaves mixed with a yummy combination of seeds and chick peas and tossed with a zesty lime and basil dressing. This makes our taste buds hum…

We know many of you don’t think you like Brussels sprouts…but have you had them like this? Go on…try them, you’ll thank us later :)

We have taken one of the original Shepherd’s Pie recipes from Create, Savour, Enjoy (our first cookbook) and added some curry ingredients to spice it up a bit for Winter.
