Blood Cleansing Morning Heart Starter
Ganesh god of fresh beginnings.
Wicked Juice
1 large beetroot
1 tbspn size piece of ginger
1 pear
1 green apple
1 lime
½ lemon
1 orange peeled
10 carrots.
A stimulating & evocative concoction that will put hairs on your chest, figuratively speaking of course (but I have heard a fashion whisper that hirsute is making a comeback) . The beetroot & carrot are great blood cleansers.
Drink this juice every morning for a month and you will notice the difference in your energy levels and perhaps some weight loss too!

Diet a Way of Life
The Greek root of the word diet is diatia, which refers to a way of life toward wellness, and is more than just a regime of eating do’s and don’ts. It understands the link between how you live your life and what and how you eat. Epicurus the Greek philosopher of BC 341-270 stressed the importance of eating with friends, and I personally know that when I eat with good friends that I eat with a greater degree of joy and dont eat as much as when I eat alone. Good conversation and the sharing of gratitude for a well prepared dish is the reason why, I think, that we first started eating out at friends places and restaurants in the first place. The level of noise in most restaurants in Australian cities has taken much of the joy of keen conversation away, above the ‘night club’ yell, “how’s the steak?” Where we eat and how we eat impacts on our digestion and therefore ability to benefit from good food. Dishes in restaurants have to be designed to excite and rise above the clamor of the hustle and bustle of busy eating houses, they are therefore usually rich and high in sugar and fats. How do you get noticed in a crowded room? By being extra spicy or so sensual that I melt in your mouth. The ambience within restaurants is part of a cyclical fashion trend and I am confident that it will shift again, away from the current din.

Sunshine Coast Corporate Cooking Classes
Sacred Chef, your unique coast foodie, has a new cooking studio and I have been entertaining sunshine coast corporate groups with cooking classes followed by delicious gourmet lunches. This is a day, that your valued staff members and co-workers will fondly remember with every taste bud on top of their tongues. We begin in the morning with some blind folded sensory work, ascertaining flavours and aromas, of spices, herbs, exotic ingredients and boutique local produce – this is serious fun! Then out come the knives, but surprisingly not for anyone’s back, as we keep all the action on the chopping board. Gorgeous smells soon fill the studio with garlic, galangal, chilli, fresh lime and sunshine coast seafood dancing on the hotplate.
Groups will learn to cook some seriously delicious dishes, as they overlook the Glass House Mountains perched on top of Maleny, clad in aprons and appreciative smiles. Recipes, notes, articles, information about nutrition and the culinary background of ingredients and produce – are all provided in a take away pack for later digestion and to make sure that these new skills are not forgotten.

Sacred Chef Catering at White Eagle Lodge
Sacred Chef spent a delightful week feeding the attendees at the “Working with Angels” retreat, 4-9 April 2009, at the stunning White Eagle Lodge in Maleny. Chief White Eagle’s Lyn Edwards and Gay Robinson engaged the Sacred Chef to create a week of delicious lunches and dinners for the live-in retreaters. What a beautiful and appreciative group of people they were and it was a real pleasure to create a menu that added to their joy at being on retreat.
Tumeric and coriander pan breads with mint raita, samosas, and kumera and lemongrass curry began the culinary proceedings on the saturday evening and a sumptuous dessert of organic cocunut, date and almond slice with honeyed yoghurt left a sweet taste in their mouths. Gay and Lyn joined the retreaters for the welcome feast and smiles were seen around the table, as the group enjoyed their victuals.
Cooking for a retreat is an especially satisfying gig, as you get to really see and hear the appreciation of people really enjoying your food. Much better than restaurant work, which is rather fleeting and incognito. It is also a time when the retreat attendees are returning to the basics of their existence – food, sleep, walking, talking and the magic of life.
Good food is healing of course and to be a part of a wonderful retreat in a beautiful temple is what the Sacred Chef is all about.
Thank you.
