Classic Indian Sweet – Revisited & Raw

March 25, 2010
Thumbnail image for Classic Indian Sweet – Revisited & Raw

I still remember the sweet shops when I lived in India for a month studying Ashtanga -  neat rows of tantalizing bite-size treats. The shop owners used to laugh at my pronunciation when I placed an order, but I

Bumming Around Byron Bay

September 26, 2009

Finally got off the road and settled down in Byron Bay. This is the perfect balance of town living combined with country serenity for me. There are tons of little shops, cafes and things to do in Byron – loads of daylife and nightlife, without being overly hectic or too sleepy. And the town is [...]

Cruising through Sydney and the East Coast

September 20, 2009

Wow – lots has happened since my last post! Here it is in a nutshell.
After Melbourne, I bee-lined it to Sydney and headed to Bondi Beach. Bondi is sooooo cool! Right on the ocean with magnificent footpaths around the cliffs, hip shops and cafes and the BEST weather. Much warmer, sunny and less windy than [...]

Le Cru in Melbourne

September 3, 2009

While in Melbourne, I treated myself to a meal at what I believe is the only all-raw food restaurant in Australia, Le Cru. The space is absolutely lovely – warm rich wood and candlelight. Outdoor courtyard. Great waitstaff!
I wanted to sample a few things, so I tried to keep it light and opted for soup, [...]

Soaking in Aussie Hot Springs

August 31, 2009

I love natural hot springs. Ever since I went to Eden Hot Springs in Arizona, I’ve been hooked! I seek them out wherever I go. So I was really looking forward to hitting some hot springs in Australia.
First one I went to was in Hepburn Springs, the “Australian Spa Capital.” Hepburn Springs is a really [...]

Adventures Across Oz – Part 1

August 29, 2009

Yep I did it. Crossed the continent of Australia from West to East Coast. On the “wrong” side of the road no less. lol.
It was easier than I thought. The Nullarbor Plain was the most challenging part – just looooong stretches of desert with a roadhouse every 200k’s or so. Luckily some very bored people [...]

Becoming More Cultured

August 4, 2009

I’ve really been getting into cultured food lately, especially since listening to Donna Gates’ interview on RenegadeHealth.com. Mainly I’ve been making kefir, yogurt and sauerkraut. I started out making raw goat milk kefir after I found an organic farmer that sells fresh goat’s milk raw.  Unpasteurized, unhomogenized, live enzymes intact – WOW – what a [...]

Raw Christmas Canapes in July

July 23, 2009

I just made these little raw canapes last weekend for friends. They were really yummy and cute. Rolling them up and tying them with the chive without tearing it – tricky! I had a few casualties which I had to sacrifice and eat but after the first couple, I had an assembly line [...]

Last Days In Indo

June 11, 2009

After a two hour+ bumpy car ride, the landscape opened up to a breathtaking seascape – blue skies, jagged rocks and turquoise water. Gorgeous! We pulled up at my soon-to-be new friend Kimen’s surf shop. I counted out the RP300,000 fare and my driver’s eyes lit up like a Christmas tree! He was so giddy [...]

Off to Lombok Land

June 5, 2009

I made a last minute decision to head over to Lombok Island. My friend is investing in land there and I thought it would be a good idea to have a look too. I read that US and Dubai investors had bought up a lot of the property already, in anticipation of a new international [...]

Bali Eats – Part II

May 27, 2009

JUICE JA on Dewa Sita Street is a mellow hangout. They have free wi-fi and it isn’t as crowded as Kafe. Pure and blended juices are on the menu and it’s probably the only place that serves wheatgrass juice in Ubud. The small juices range in price from RP$12.000 – 14.000, but you can get [...]

Bali Eats – Part I

May 25, 2009

With all the delicious food in Ubud, I thought I would hit the raw highlights!
KAFE has a good sized menu, delicious food and free wifi until 7pm. It’s always packed with Westerners whenever I’ve been there and it’s a great place to hook up with other travelers. You can get green drinks, fruit juices and [...]
