MULTIGRAIN SPELT LOAF

2 JULY 2014

A colleague of mine inspired me to find and try this recipe after I found out she hasn't bought bread for about 20 years. Every few days she makes her own, low gluten, high fibre, preservative-free bread from scratch. Full of admiration and feeling inspired, I decided to make my own. Using the recipe she described to me as a guide, I scoured the internet and found the perfect recipe on the fabulous cooking blog, Belleau Kitchen. Click here to follow it for yourself.

For my loaf I substituted the white flour for half wholemeal and half spelt flour (trying to be good, you know). Give it a go, and if you're worried about the fennel, don't be, it really adds another delicious dimension to this healthy homemade loaf! Here's how mine turned out...

LAZY SUNDAY BREAKFAST

12 JANUARY 2014

If you fancy a little indulgence on this frosty Sunday morning, why not try the classic breakfast combination of a poached egg and smoked salmon? New years diet-friendly, this delicious combo is high in protein and vitamin B12, essential for absorbing iron and preventing conditions like anaemia that are common in pregnancy and those suffering from Crohn's disease. 


HOW TO...
Add a tablespoon of vinegar to simmering watering and swirl with a teaspoon before cracking in your egg. The vinegar should help to bind the yolk and create a beautiful round shaped egg. Simmer gently for 3 minutes for a perfectly runny yolk. Serve on a bed of smoked salmon and top with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and sprinkling of cracked black pepper.
