💥 FLAVOUR BOMB 💥

Plant based food needn’t be boring. Flavour dominates throughout the Gut Fix menu by incorporating seasonal organic produce, a variety of spices and a plethora of microgreens all carefully selected to enable the biome to flourish.

Introducing the roasted Fennel, Walnut and Turmeric soup to the new Gut Fix menu.

The combination of Tumeric and Fennel have powerful anti inflammatory properties to help alleviate stress in the digestive tract. Fennel is known to reduce bloating and enhance good gut bacteria. The raw walnuts contain essential minerals while adding a creamy dimension to this bowl of comfort.

Also, did you know that black pepper increases the bioavailability of the active compounds in Tumeric by 2000%!!!

The Gut Fix meals include 11 different varieties of microgreens to add diversity to each dish. 100% gluten and sugar free plant based meals to enrich your biome with probiotic and prebiotic whole foods. Four days to heal from the inside out.

Apart from having a higher nutrient and fibre content, microgreens are more flavoursome with a wide variety to add to your meals. Dare I say that microgreens are more aesthetically pleasing, beauty is always in the eye of the beholder 😂

🌱

One of my favourite facts about microgreens is that there’a diversity in their application 💚🌱

From pestos and tapenade to kimchi and kraut…who ever suggested not to play with your food!

What’s food cost when you’re focused on flavour 😂 Using the finest ingredients available to ensure that the Gut Fix meals are as tasty as they are good for you!

🌱 Recipe Release 🌱

Mushroom & Microgreen Rice Paper Parcels

Ingredients:
500g shiitake mushrooms chopped
2 shallots finely diced
1 clove garlic
2 teaspoons coconut oil
5 sheets 20cm x 20cm rice paper
100g microgreens of your choice - I recommend a mix of radish, coriander and broccoli
1 teaspoon Thai spice
1 tablespoon tamarind sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon black and white sesame seeds

Method:

Heat the sesame oil and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in a pan until dappled, add the mushrooms, shallots and garlic. Fry from 2 minutes and add the Thai spice, tamarind sauce and microgreens. Stir until the greens soften, remove from the heat and cool.

Cut the rice paper diagonally into triangles, soften each triangle in water - take care to not soak the paper for too long as they become difficult to handle. Place a heaped tablespoon of the mushroom mixture into the centre of the triangle and fold to enclosed the mixture. Once all the parcels are prepared, heat the remaining coconut oil in a pan and fry the parcels until golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately with a dipping sauce of your choice, I love a lime, chilli and avocado combination.

Enjoy with great company and conversation 💚🌱

will be cohosting a vegan cooking class with me on the 11th of May. We’ll be showcasing some of our flavourful plant based recipes while providing top tips for conscious cooking.

Details to be confirmed but we have a date and look forward to sharing the plant based food love 🌱💚

From time to time, mould happens! It could be the result of an extreme heat wave with humid conditions, change in season, overwatering, contaminated trays…the list is quite extensive but diseased microgreens should NEVER end up on a plate!

Mould can have a catastrophic impact on our gut health and cause a cascade of lasting health issues. Pay attention to the quality of food that you serve your body, it truly is the fuel of life.

If you’re growing, keep your grow space well ventilated and be sure to toss out the suspicious trays and sterilise the equipment carefully.

My culinary adventure began at 14 in my mom’s restaurant. Nestled into the marina of a now not so small west coast town, I learned to source quality ingredients from local suppliers while honing my skills in the kitchen. I could never have known the impact this time would have on my life. Eternally grateful for these humble beginnings that sparked the flame for great food and has led me to the most remarkable sensory experiences.
