  1. Add Coconut Oil and Onion to a large pot and cook until soft.
  2. Add Ginger, Cinnamon & Paprika - stir in for 1 min.
  3. Add the rest of the ingredients except the Coconut Cream / Milk, top up with enough water to just cover everything, and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and cook until veg are soft.
  4. Using an immersion blender (hand-held blender), blend everything in the pot until soup is smooth.
  5. Stir in Coconut Cream / Milk just before serving - leave a little aside to ‘decorate’ the soup at the end. Add more Salt & Pepper to taste.
  6. Add a drizzle of Coconut Cream / Milk and a little sprinkle of Pepper, Paprika or Cayenne Pepper to serve.
Recipe Notes

* Double the ingredient amounts to make in bulk and freeze in portions for a quick and easy mid week meal. 

*You can make your own Homemade Veggie Stock if you like - I make in a big batch ahead of time, portion and keep in the freezer for future use.

* Add Coconut Oil and Coconut Cream, Sea Salt and Black Pepper to each bowl, and serve with toasted Clean Multiseed Bread (also topped with Coconut Oil).

*Optional topping: Add shaved Broccoli Flowers (see below)

*Shaved Broccoli Flowers is one of my favourite #ToxicFatBusting tricks: I always shave the Broccoli Flowers off the heads of Broccoli and keep them raw and use as toppings for soups, salads, and spuds/baked potatoes. Even in sandwiches too. Pretty much anything else you like.

Keep them sealed in a glass jar in the fridge and use within 1 - 2 days. 

I also put them into my Green smoothies, blending and drinking as soon as possible after making, to get the most benefit from the Broccoli Flower's potent detoxifying effect. 

We’ve always been told that broccoli is one of the best veggies to consume. Now you know exactly why! This is why cruciferous vegetables are touted as such amazing veggies. They help the body get rid of The Toxic Fat Effect... 

Chewing on raw Broccoli Flowers produces a compound called sulforaphane. Sulforaphane increases activity of the whole glutathione system which is essential for our body's ability to detoxify optimally.

There are now plenty of scientific studies that show that sulforaphane vastly increases the glutathione levels in our bodies which is supremely important in phase II of the natural detoxification process that happens in our bodies.

Glutathione is the key to making our liver detox properly and most efficiently. Due to our chemical body burden (The Toxic Fat Effect - bioaccumulation of toxins in the body), our bodies become less effective at doing it's normal detoxing job. 

Therefore, proactively doing things that will help boost glutathione levels is a big part of helping the liver to function optimally again.

[One of the reasons I have been doing coffee enemas almost every day since I began my journey some 6+ years ago now is for this very reason. As well as immediately, gently, and safely flushing toxic build up in the liver (Read, 'Healing the Gerson Way' or 'The Gerson Therapy'), coffee enemas massively boost glutathione levels, helping to SPEED up the rate at which we can move toxins out of the body.]

So think of creative ways to add those raw broccoli flowers to as many of your meals as possible. If you chop them fine enough, and mix them into food you can even get fussy kids and loved ones benefitting from this power veggie's potent detoxing punch without them even knowing it!

Clean Eating Tips to remember:
*Stainless Steel and Ceramic or Glass Cookware are the safest materials to cook in with the least amount of leaching into food when heat is applied. A high quality set of cookware is essential and will last a lifetime - and a longer lifetime at that because of it. 

*Stainless Steel, Food-grade Silicon or Wooden Cooking Utensils are the safest materials to cook with with the least amount of leaching into food when heat is applied. 

*Olive Oil - it’s best not to cook with Olive Oil, always consume raw. Best to drizzle Olive Oil over food just before serving. It’s better to avoid cooking with Olive Oil as it is a delicate oil and is damaged and becomes harmful to ingest when heated.

*Better oils for cooking with have a higher smoke point/less free radical forming when heated— Coconut Oil, Macadamia Oil and Grapeseed Oil

Instructions
  1. Roughly chop Onions, add to a large pot with 2 tbsp Coconut Oil and cook until soft.
  2. Finely grate/chop the Ginger, Garlic, Chillies and Coriander. Add all this, plus the Curry Paste to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Wash and cut the Sweet Potato and Potatoes into 1 inch cubes (approx.), rinse and drain the Chickpeas and blend/puree the Tomatoes. Add to the pot.
  4. Add the rest of the ingredients except the Zucchini. Top up with Spring Water if there is not enough liquid to cover the veg. Bring to a boil and then turn down to mid-low heat and allow to simmer for 30-40 min until water evaporates and potatoes are cooked through.
  5. While Curry is cooking, in a separate pot, bring the Quinoa and Spring Water to the boil. Strain the Quinoa - keep the water. Put the Quinoa in a stainless steel strainer on top of a pot, with the left over water in the bottom of the same pot and simmer the water to steam the Quinoa for 10 - 15 minutes (cover with a lid to keep moisture in).
  6. 5 min before serving, slice the Zucchini and stir in to allow it to cook for a few minutes before serving (adding in last prevents Zucchini from being overcooked).
  7. Serve the Curry on cooked Quinoa with a selection of Toppings.
Recipe Notes

*You can basically use any veggies you have in your pantry or fridge, and cook with the Yellow Indian Curry Paste to cook up a hearty Curry Dish.

*I make bulk batches of this Curry Dish and portion and freeze for future quick and easy meals.  

*Make your own Nut Milk: Grind ¼ cup nuts, then blend with 1 cup Water.

*You can make your own homemade Yellow Indian Curry Paste - I also make this curry paste in bulk batches and portion and freeze for future use.

*Check out this Yellow Indian Curry Dip made with the same Yellow Indian Curry Paste.

*Choose BPA-free tins when buying pre-cooked Chickpeas if possible or even better, see below recipe for cooking your own Chickpeas from scratch (it’s not as difficult as it seems, just allow a couple days before to prepare and cook them).

Serving Suggestions:

* Serve with cooked Rice or Quinoa

* Make a Fresh Mango Salsa for a topping - 10 minutes to make
If no Mango, still delicious without.
1/2 Mango (large)
1/2 Red Onion
1/2 cup Tomatoes
1/2 cup Cucumber
1/2 bunch Coriander (fresh)
Chop into small pieces and mix together and serve fresh as a topping with any Curry Dish.

How to cook your own Chickpeas from scratch:
NOTE: Start this 2 days before you want to use Chickpeas in a recipe.

1 cup dry chickpeas = approx. 2 - 2 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas

Day 1 - evening
1 cup dry Chickpeas
3-4 cups Spring Water (water should be double higher than chickpeas in dish)
1 tsp Salt
1. Put ingredients in a large ceramic or glass bowl - the Chickpeas will swell to 2-3x their dry size.

Day 2 - morning
Drain Chickpeas and change the salted water.

Day 2 - evening
Put Chickpeas in large pot of Spring Water
Cook for approximately 1 hour+ until chickpeas are soft.
Drain, let cool and refrigerate in sealed glass container.

Day 3 - Recipe day
Chickpeas are ready and waiting to made into your recipe of choice!

  3. Optional: A little Coconut Oil blended in gives it ‘next level’ creaminess.
Recipe Notes

*Store sealed in a glass jar in the fridge. Eat within 1-2 days (if it lasts that long!) 

*Serving Suggestions:
You can use this cream/sauce to top or add to a great many things, let you imagination run wild.

-Enjoy as a topping on any other Desserts / Sweet Treats.

-Enjoy as a topping on fresh cut strawberries or fruit salad.

-I’ve even used this in tea and coffee!

*Choose the cleanest ingredients possible:

-Choose spray-free/organic fresh produce for fresh ingredients where possible, and if buying conventional, rinse in diluted white vinegar water to remove.

-Choose dry ingredients (i.e. nuts, seeds, dried fruits ) that are spray-fee/organic where possible, and which don’t have preservatives such as sulphur dioxide.

- Choose virgin, cold-pressed Coconut Oil in glass where possible. It should be pure white in colour. Do not choose cheaper, deodorised/neutral flavoured coconut oils that are off-white.

-Choose Coconut Cream and Coconut Milk that is clean/free from additives, preservatives and E numbers. Plain Coconut Cream/Milk is better than the ones with added guar gum as this changes the consistency of recipes. You can use Nut Milk as an alternative. 

-Choose to homemade Nut Milk instead of buying. Most store bought ones have additives and stabilisers. Quick Tip: It’s easy to make your own: just grind ¼ cup nuts, then blend with 1 cup water. 

-Choose whole fruits over optional sweeteners if you need to add more sweetness. My preferred choice is Date Paste (pre-soaked Dates). Quick Tip: Keep a jar filled with Dates covered with water, in the fridge ready to go and use as is (instead of actually blending to make Date Paste).

*To melt Cacao Butter - I heat some water in a pot, then place a stainless steel bowl in the pot, add a little heated water to the bowl, and then add a glass bowl in which the Cacao Butter can melt without it getting too hot/burning. We want the Cacao Butter to remain raw (healthy for us), so avoid heating it more than 40 °C / 104 °F.

*Place excess left over in moulds to make hard chocolates. Store in fridge/freezer. Eat within 4-5 days (if it lasts that long!)

*Serving suggestions:

-You can serve this yummy sauce on almost anything.

Instructions
  1. Mud Cake Layer: Drain the soaked Dates and place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until mixture gets sticky. Set aside.
  2. Caramel Layer: Drain Dates and blend all ingredients together until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Chocolate Layer: Blend all ingredients together until smooth (include the water the Dates were soaked in). Set aside.
  4. Mix half the Chocolate Layer mixture in with the Chocolate Mud Cake mixture.
  5. Shape the Chocolate Mud Cake mixture into balls and place in silicon or paper cupcake cups and press slightly into the moulds.
  6. Using a spoon, add a dollop of the Caramel Layer and smooth over the surface using the back of the spoon. *Tip - a little Coconut Oil on the back of the spoon helps prevent the caramel from sticking to the spoon.
  7. Using a spoon, add a dollop of the Chocolate Layer to the top, again using the back of a spoon - this time no Coconut Oil though so you can create a ‘whip’ shape on the top of the little cakes.
  8. Optional: Place in fridge for 15min+ to allow to set before serving. Sprinkle with Calendula petals and/or Lavender flowers.

  3. Cream Tartlet Layer: Gently *warm the Cacao Butter until melted, add to mixture and blend again (see recipe notes below for instructions on how to warm Cacao Butter).
  4. Strawberry Layer: Blend the Dates and Water into a paste.
  5. Strawberry Layer: Add the Rice Malt Syrup (or other natural sweetener) and half the roughly chopped Strawberries. Plus until just mixed together.
  6. Strawberry Layer: Add the rest of the roughly chopped Strawberries - optional: pulse again if you want less chunky.
  7. Strawberry Layer: Stir in the Chia Seeds and Beetroot Juice using a fork until mixed together well. Set aside.
  8. Mini Pie Base: Blend ingredients and then press a base layer into the silicon paper cupcake moulds or you can use other small glass/ceramic containers.

Recipe Notes

* To melt Cacao Butter - I heat some water in a pot, then place a stainless steel bowl in the pot, add a little heated water to the bowl, and then add a glass bowl in which the Cacao Butter can melt without it getting too hot/burning. We want the Cacao Butter to remain raw (healthy for us), so avoid heating it more than 40 °C / 104 °F.

*You can enjoy straight away or put in the fridge for 15-30 minutes to set for a more mousse-like consistency.

*Eat within 1-2 days.

*Choose the cleanest ingredients possible:

-Choose spray-free/organic fresh produce for fresh ingredients where possible, and if buying conventional, rinse in diluted white vinegar water to remove.

-Choose dry ingredients (i.e. nuts, seeds, dried fruits ) that are spray-fee/organic where possible, and which don’t have preservatives such as sulphur dioxide.

- Choose virgin, cold-pressed Coconut Oil in glass where possible. It should be pure white in colour. Do not choose cheaper, deodorised/neutral flavoured coconut oils that are off-white.

-Choose Coconut Cream and Coconut Milk that is clean/free from additives, preservatives and E numbers. Plain Coconut Cream/Milk is better than the ones with added guar gum as this changes the consistency of recipes. You can use Nut Milk as an alternative. 

-Choose to homemade Nut Milk instead of buying. Most store bought ones have additives and stabilisers. Quick Tip: It’s easy to make your own: just grind ¼ cup nuts, then blend with 1 cup water. 

-Choose whole fruits over optional sweeteners if you need to add more sweetness. My preferred choice is Date Paste (pre-soaked Dates). Quick Tip: Keep a jar filled with Dates covered with water, in the fridge ready to go and use as is (instead of actually blending to make Date Paste).

Recipe Notes

*Enjoy straight away or store in a sealed container in the fridge or freezer. Eat within 1-2 days.

*Pressing mixture into Bliss Balls: You may need a little ‘elbow grease’ to press the mixture into balls. I usually take a handful and just keep pressing very firmly, and keep adding more mixture until I have desired size and the mixtures sticks together properly.
