For years, I've been teaching workshops on eating deliciously and nutritiously with the minimum of ingredients and complexity. This experience has taught me how important it is for people to find ways of incorporating more fresh, wholefood into their daily diet in a way that is convenient, fast and not least, big on flavour.
It's so simple.. take a couple of fresh ingredients, dress with a vibrant sauce and finish with one of your favourite Crumbs!
You can make most of our delicious and nutritious sauces in a single step with no cooking or heating involved. You can adapt them to your own taste and experiment with different seasonings and nutritional boosters.
For example if you're a lover of all things smokey, add a dash of smoked paprika to your black olive & sundried tomato tapenade - layer in some omega rich cold pressed flax oil to your tahini garlic dressing - or spice up your fresh red pepper & garlic sauce with some cayenne pepper.
Once you get going, there are no limits!
All you need to get started to start creating your repetoire of sauces is...
A little hand blender...
nothing technical... this sort of thing...
A few ingredient staples...
Organic is amazing, but any is better than none. As with all food, just buy the best quality you can afford at the time, (we're all just doing our best right?!).
