Lemons are a staple in my kitchen. Not only do I start my day with lemon water but I add lemon to most of my food. It’s zesty, high in vitamin c, brings dishes alive and best of all they are like smelling sunshine 💛🍋💛🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆 #thetrufflejournal #beautifulcuisine #feedfeed #foodie_features #foodvsco #foodblog #lemons #citrus #healthcoach #privatechef #sunshine

Summer colours on a Sunday morning... I love supporting local farmers at the @ozcfarm. Buying local not only supports farmers directly but the produce is fresher and isn’t covered with heavy pesticides and industrial chemicals which can make you sick. Good health starts at the inception of our food. Clearing chemical laden foods out of your diet will leave you feeling better for it! How do you buy local? 🍅🍅🍅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆 #farmersmarket #thetrufflejournal #healthcoach #buylocal #seasonalproduce #foodphotography #healthyeating #lovecapetown #healthcoaching

Do you crave comfort food when it’s cold? One way to nourish the body and leave it feeling satisfied is to create hearty warming curries, stews and soups in winter. In Ayurveda (the sister science to yoga and an ancient healing system) balancing your constitution or dosha through diet can support the body in good health. If you find yourself reaching for processed carbs like pastas that will leave your body feeling sluggish why not try cooking up a curry. It will not only leave you satisfied but feeling happy too! I’m Kapha prominent so this really helps me to stay healthy. What is your dosha? 🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆 #ayurvedalifestyle #ayurveda #ayurvedafood #healthcoach #thetrufflejournal #yoga #ayurvediccooking #retreat #yogaretreat #yogaretreatcapetown #privatechef #wholecookbook
