  1. Boil or bake your Potato. (If short on time, cutting into small pieces and boiling is the quickest method).
  2. Chop the Mushrooms and cook in a little Coconut Oil. Set aside.
  3. Garlic Cashew Cream: Blend/grind Cashew Nuts into flour-like consistency. Then add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
  4. Smash your cooked Potato, add a little Coconut Oil and then add a serving of the Garlic Cashew Cream, cooked Mushrooms, slices of Avocado and top with Hemp Seeds.
Recipe Notes

*Enjoy straight away! 

*Store left over sauce sealed in a glass jar w/ lid.

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. 

*My ½ Toasted / ½ Raw Philosophy for Nuts & Seeds:
Toasted - for flavour
Raw - for nutritional value

*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. 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!

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F
  2. Note: I usually leave the skin on all veggies for cooking/baking - you can eat most of them or can be easily removed once on someone’s plate. Most veggies have a concentration of nutrients in or just beneath the skin. Leaving skins on also cuts down on prep time!
  3. Wash & chop Sweet Potatoes and Potatoes into ½ inch cubes. Add ½ the Oil to the baking tray (be sure to mix and coat the veg with oil) and bake until soft (approx. 15 min)
  4. Wash & chop Pumpkin/Butternut Squash, Onion, Capsicums / Bell Peppers into ½ inch cubes, add to the tray with the remaining ingredients (be sure to mix everything together well) and cook for a further 15min until veg is cooked through and potatoes are a little crispy.
Recipe Notes

*Top with a squeeze of fresh Lemon / Lime, a drizzle of cold-pressed Olive Oil or Coconut Oil, and toasted Nuts & Seeds.

*Add shaved Broccoli flowers (use a knife to shave these from the head of a Broccoli), fresh Avocado and a little crumbed Goat Cheese Feta.

* I usually like to serve as a complete meal with an addition of slices of Avocado and a side of raw Sauerkraut!

Recipe Notes

* I make big batches of the sauces. They keep well for weeks in a sealed jar in the fridge. Basically you can use any veggies, and easily and quickly whip up rice paper rolls and serve with either or  both of the dipping sauces.

*Soy Sauce alternatives - soy is best avoided for many reasons. Most soy is GMO. Even organic soy can cause issues. Also, many soy products have wheat/gluten which adds to the list of reasons to avoid it if you can. 1st best choice is Coconut Aminos if you can get it. 2nd best choice would be Liquid Aminos or Tamari which are wheat-free/gluten-free soy sauces.

*Sesame Seed Oil - buy good quality oil and store in the fridge. It is a fragile oil and can rancid quite quickly. For this reason it is best never to cook with fragile oils like Sesame Seed Oil as the heat quickly produces free-radicals and reduces the benefits of the oil. Use it as a topping just before serving to give a lovely subtle Sesame flavour to your stir-fry.

  3. Add 2 tbsp Coconut Oil in a large pot and cook the Onions until soft.
  4. Add the fresh Ginger, Turmeric (or Turmeric Powder) and Garlic and cook for a 5 minutes until mixture thickens, stirring often.
  5. Add the dry spices and keep stirring until paste turns golden.
  6. Chop the tomatoes and add to the pot. Add the Salt and cook and stir often until tomatoes soften.
  7. Cook until no liquid is left and you have a nice thick paste.
Recipe Notes

*Store left over Yellow Indian Curry Powder in a sealed glass jar in your spice cupboard.

*I make big batches of the Yellow Indian Curry Paste and freeze in portions for future use.  

*Here is a beautiful Yellow Indian Curry Dish that you can make using this paste.

*Store the Yellow Indian Curry Paste in a glass jar in the fridge to use to make fresh curries like the Yellow Indian Curry Dish, and also fresh Yellow Indian Curry Dip. If you use a little Olive oil to coat the inside of the glass jar and seal it, it keeps well for weeks in the fridge.
