<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Sacred Chef Cooking School</p>
<p>Email: sacredchef@midasword.com.au</p>
<p>Dear Sudha,</p>
<p>On behalf of the No Brainer Ball Committee I would like to thank you for your generosity in supplying an all day cooking class for one person full of “gastronomical delights” which ends in a 3 course meal including complimentary wine (valued at $89.00) for our auction to raise funds for Brain Tumour Research.</p>
<p>We had several bidders with the lucky Winner being Christian Webber of Banksia Dental  54942424 who won this auction for $100.00.  We have given Christian your details.</p>
<p>The auction was a roaring success with funds raised on the night of over $15,000 and the town talking about next years No Brainer Ball already.  We do hope that you will continue to support this yearly event and perhaps next year book a table?</p>
<p>Again, thank you for your support.</p>
<p>Kay Ridge</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Yesterday&#8217;s <a title="Thai Cooking Class with Sacred Chef a Satisfying Success" href="http://sacredchef.com/2011/10/11/thai-cooking-class-with-sacred-chef-a-satisfying-success/">Sunshine Coast Thai Cooking Class with the Sacred Chef was a great success</a>. It was an extended family affair, organised by local Maleny patriarch, Ian Williams, and was a lovely gift to his children, friends and ex-wives. Group cooking classes like these can be very enjoyable for a whole host of reasons.</p>
<p>This lively group of five ladies and one culinarily well versed gent, were ready and able to cook up an eastern storm; with plenty of fish sauce and lime juice to rain down upon our palettes. I started the day earlier, by collecting some banana leaves from my tree for one of the dishes we would be preparing &#8211; <em><a title="Recipes" href="http://sacredchef.com/recipes/">Poached Chicken in Banana Leaves. </a></em>Ross cut the leaves into smaller segments ready for wrapping later, as the last few stragglers arrived for the 11am class.</p>
<p>We greet cooking class attendees upon arrival,  and after a few pleasantries distribute their recipe packs, aprons and bottled water &#8211; I am a great believer in staying hydrated in the kitchen. Then they make their way to the bathroom for the hygienic washing of hands before entering the cooking studio and finding a place at the kitchen bench. Chopping board and a sharp knife awaits them at their station.</p>
<p>There is usually a brief spell of chaotic energy as we all find our speed and sort out who is up for what &#8211; who can hack the sting of onions and the smell of garlic; who can wield a knife with a degree of competence; and of course the teacher might be fumbling about with menus and recipes; bowls of ingredients and produce; and finding his own speed. There is no forcing of anything here, we find the path of least resistance for all involved and work our way to a very enjoyable day.</p>
<p>So what was on the menu?</p>
<p><em>Hot &amp; Sour Seafood Soup</em></p>
<p><em>Poached Chicken Thigh Fillets in Banana Leaves</em></p>
<p><em>Salted Pineapple &amp; Cashew Nut Salad</em></p>
<p><em>Fragrant Noodles with Prawns in Chilli Jam</em></p>
<p><em>Snapper Fillet with Ginger &amp; Chinese Greens</em></p>
<p><em>Grilled Thai Style Chicken Wings</em></p>
<p><em>Nam Jin Sauce</em></p>
<p><em>Bananas in Coconut Cream with Black Sticky Rice</em></p>
<p>Once we had prepared all these dishes the six cooking class participants were joined by Ian and three more guests for a sit down Thai banquet for ten. Glasses of chilled Pinot Grigio and mineral water were handed round and the Sacred Chef cooking school chefs began assembling and plating up soups and a sequential dispatching of dishes. It was hot in the stir fry kitchen and the chilli levels may have been a little fierce in the first course for some guests, but things calmed down with subsequent courses or perhaps they acclimatised. Great food and good conversation at table, a recipe for a really good day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cooking classes have recently experienced a big surge in popularity, especially in Sydney and Melbourne.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;In a quest to hone their skills in the kitchen and discover the joys of relaxation through cooking, Australians are attending classes in record numbers. Middle Eastern, vegetarian, mod Oz, you name it – there’s something for everyone. &#8220;</em></p>
<p><em>Australian  Traveller</em> <a href="http://www.australiantraveller.com/news/cooking-schools-around-australia">http://www.australiantraveller.com/news/cooking-schools-around-australia</a></p>
<p><a title="Cooking School on the Sunshine Coast" href="http://sacredchef.com/cooking-school-sunshine-coast/">As a cooking teacher and provider of cooking classes on the sunshine coast, at Sacred Chef Cooking School</a> , I have seen first-hand the upsurge in popularity and have a few theories why this is so. I think some Australians are a little sick of the passive nature of dining out as a consumer and want more out of the experience. Combining a learning structure with the enjoyment, that cooking and eating can offer, provides a far more interactive recreational pursuit. I also find that cooking class attendees actually enjoy eating the food more, as they take pride in their involvement in its creation. The whole thing is a much more give and take adventure, rather than just sitting back and stuffing your face.</p>
<p>I personally derive a great deal of enjoyment and learning from my own interaction with my cooking class attendees, as they share their knowledge and experience with me, and not just about food either. A cooking lesson can be a microcosm of a person&#8217;s whole approach to life. I recently had a delightful Irish woman, of a certain age that is traditionally associated with wisdom, and she was more of a tonic to me than any self-help book I have read of late. The Irish have a way of expressing common truths that go straight to the heart of the matter. We may not immediately recognise it, but cooking and eating are quite intimate activities, and the sharing of these are rewarding experiences for all.</p>
<p>I would imagine a few people may still be disinclined to attend a cooking class, in case they ended up with some insufferable bore or pedant teacher, perhaps remembering the worst of their school years. I would only say to them that my own approach to teaching is based on respect for all individuals, irrespective of their talents in the kitchen, and indeed a lack thereof is why they would be attending anyway. Keeping  a relaxed ambience is important and working with what people have got, rather than what you may wish they were capable of, is a good way to ensure successful outcomes for all parties. Having some tasty fun!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sunshine coast wedding, at Wurtulla Beach, was catered for by the Sacred Chef; and bride and groom were very happy. Thirty guests joined lucky couple, Suzy and Tim, to celebrate their special day in a gorgeous ocean boulevard venue. A sequential degustation like menu of ten canapés was chosen by the  couple and like a well performed symphony these choices hit all the right notes.</p>
<p>Suzy and Tim&#8217;s approach to the catering for their wedding was commendable, as they built on their initial &#8216; in person&#8217; consultation with the Sacred Chef, to follow it up with a private cooking class, <a title="Cooking School on the Sunshine Coast" href="http://sacredchef.com/cooking-school-sunshine-coast/">at the Sacred Chef cooking school, here on the sunshine coast</a> . Really getting to know your clients can only contribute to going the extra mile or kilometre for them, in terms of providing exceptional quality. Of course I do my best on every job I do, but knowing likes and dislikes can only improve the service.</p>
<p>Menu</p>
<p><a title="Sacred Chef Spanish Cooking Class Olé Sunday 25 Sept" href="http://sacredchef.com/2011/09/28/sacred-chef-spanish-cooking-class-ole-sunday-25-sept/"><em>Chilled Andalusian gazpacho soup served in shot glasses</em></a></p>
<p><em>Asian style pork belly and black rice on Chinese spoons</em></p>
<p><em>Lime and roasted red capsicum salsa on cucumber</em></p>
<p><em>King prawn and vegetarian fresh rice paper rolls with a trio of sauces</em></p>
<p><em>Arancini balls served with tomato and basil coulis</em></p>
<p><em><a title="Cooking School Schedule" href="http://sacredchef.com/cooking-school-schedule-sunshine-coast/">Rare Thai beef eye fillet skewers served with chilli jam</a></em></p>
<p><em>Wild rice, goat&#8217;s cheese and pistachio filled cabbage rolls</em></p>
<p><em>Mini Thai fish cake burgers with tomato relish</em></p>
<p><em>Rocket and basil pesto pizzettes</em></p>
<p><em>Rosemary, garlic and lemon lamb cutlets with mint sauce </em></p>
<p>Guests were effusive in their praise for the quality and exceptional flavour of the canapés. It is always a good feeling to come away from a job and know that you have contributed to making this a <a title="Weddings on the Sunshine Coast" href="http://sacredchef.com/weddings-caterers-sunshine-coast/">truly memorable wedding experience, here on the sunshine coast. </a></p>
<p>The <a href="http://sacredchef.com">Sacred Chef</a> wishes Suzy and Tim all the happiness in the world for their union.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A beautiful wedding and reception was held at <a href="http://www.laketerrace.com.au/">Montville&#8217;s Lake Terrace</a>, which is a stunning venue with incredible views over the picturesque lake, and the Sacred Chef was there to cater for the event. The sunshine coast hinterland is a beautiful part of the world to host a wedding and it now offers some distinctive and delicious catering. For this particular wedding reception the bride chose a selection of canapés, which were followed by a lamb tagine and/or a chicken sesame noodle dish.</p>
<p><a href="http://sacredchef.com">Sacred Chef Catering </a>created and served, <a title="Thai Fish Cakes" href="http://sacredchef.com/2008/12/11/thai-fish-cakes/">snapper fillet Thai fish cakes with a cucumber dipping sauce</a>; king prawn and vegetarian fresh rice paper rolls with hoi sin sauce; <a href="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten-free_diet">gluten free pesto pizzettes</a>; tandoori lamb cutlets with mint raita; chicken sate skewers and several other tasty canapés. Dashing waiter, Max, was on hand to dance about with gleaning white platters, laden with delectable goodies, distributing them to wedding guests. The sunshine coast served up a sunny day with beautiful blue sky and a perfect environment for drinking glasses of champagne.</p>
<p>Bride and groom enjoyed a memorable day, surrounded by friends and family in a decidedly elegant setting, and on this important occasion everything happened perfectly. The caterers came, set up quickly and quietly whilst the ceremony occurred, served really yummy food with friendly efficiency, packed up, cleaned up and departed without fuss to great acclaim from the guests. A good day was had by all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most empowering things that you can do in your life is to take control of what you are eating. If you are eating a lot of processed foods bought in the supermarket, then you are not in charge of what goes into your body. How much salt and fat is inside that product and what kind of fat is it? How does the chemical balance, which has been put in place by the manufacturer to preserve that product, react with your own metabolism? There are so many variables to consider when you are not eating fresh food, and equally importantly, preparing it yourself.</p>
<p>Learning to cook and discovering the nutritional make-up of foods can really benefit you in so many ways, <a title="Why We Eat What We Eat" href="http://sacredchef.com/2012/01/24/why-we-eat-what-we-eat/">including losing weight and feeling more alive</a>. Recently there have been huge leaps in the understanding of nutritional science and how foods are processed by our bodies. The importance of certain essential fatty acids, like omega 3, and redressing the imbalance of omega 6 essential fatty acids in our foods, with too much soy, grain fed livestock and vegetable oils &#8211; all rich in omega 6 &#8211; in our diets, which is often something like 40 times that of omega 3. We are generally not eating enough oily fish, nuts and seeds in our diets today.</p>
<p>What is the result of this? Too much omega 6 causes inflammation within our bodies and what are some of the chronic conditions this causes? Arthritis &#8211; inflammation of the joints; cardiovascular diseases &#8211; inflammation of the heart&#8217;s arteries; strokes &#8211; inflammation of  the cerebrovascular; and there is speculation that depression may be caused by inflammation of the brain. Diet/ what we eat and how we eat is the most integral factor in our propensity to develop diseases. A lot of foods in the supermarket do not address this and their prime reason for existence is to make money for their manufacturers &#8211; food technology is about durability not nutrition.</p>
<p><a href="http://foodmatters.tv">Food is your best medicine,</a> not some vitamin pill or pharmaceutical &#8211; these are again mainly about making money for their manufacturers &#8211; otherwise they would be free wouldn&#8217;t they? My advice is take charge of what you eat and how that food is prepared. You will find it can also be highly creative and you may derive some pleasure and pride in the act of cooking a great meal &#8211; which is healthy and delicious. You can also save money along the way.</p>
<p>Cooking classes are a great way to discover nutritional information whilst having some tasty fun. <a title="Cooking School on the Sunshine Coast" href="http://sacredchef.com/cooking-school/">My Sacred Chef cooking school, here on the sunshine coast, </a>focuses on preparing food that is both healthy and delicious &#8211; you will also receive a take home recipe pack with additional nutritional notes and articles, which I wrote for magazines like WellBeing, Conscious Living and Eco Living Health Aware; plus you receive a free health magazine too!</p>
<p>©Sacred Chef</p>
<p><a title="Cooking School Schedule" href="http://sacredchef.com/cooking-school-schedule/">Every class is full of healthy information and great recipes.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The sunshine coast has many unique and wonderful features that you cannot find anywhere else in Australia. Unfortunately a proliferation of outlets providing distinctive and delicious food is not one of them. There are a few special restaurants located here and there but the vast majority of commercial food outlets are serving bland and boring food. The major reason for this is that they are all buying their ingredients from the same companies &#8211; who deliver packaged, processed and usually frozen food right to the kitchen door.</p>
<p>Wondered why that calamari/salt and pepper squid tastes exactly the same (flavourless and spiceless) at every cafe/restaurant you go to? Well it is all prepared in the same factory and then frozen, before being distributed to outlets around the country. Despite having Mooloolaba fishing harbour on our doorstep, very few restaurants utilise fresh local seafood on their menus up this way. It&#8217;s a shame but nobody seems to care enough to change this situation. I always say every area gets the restaurants they deserve &#8211; that is the beauty of the free market after all.</p>
<p>Sauces and dressings are often made from pre-prepared tubs of factory produced stuff. You may as well stay at home and eat the sauces out of the jars that you purchased at the supermarket. The great majority of food on many menus, simply involves taking something out of the freezer and dropping it into the deep fryer. That is why if you have a look in the kitchen at many cafes/restaurants, there is only one or possibly two people in the kitchen &#8211; because they are not really doing any cooking, just re-heating. Despite this you are often paying over $20+ for a dish &#8211; that is not to say that many restaurants are making a great deal of money, quite the reverse as real estate/rents are way too expensive in Australia and to get anything maintained or built up this way costs a fortune. So the restaurateur is not going to pay more or go out of his way to put something special on the plate unless there is a demand for it or he or she has a real committment to that kind of thing. Did you know that around 90% of all restaurants in Australia are operating on less than 2% profit margins?</p>
<p>I suppose when dining out you just have to hope that the decor is pretty special.</p>
<p>Another solution would be to actually encourage the tiny percentage of illegal immigration we are receiving and get these refugees from Afghanistan to come up here and open some restaurants. It is a great immigration tradition and that is why our Australian cities now have such rich and diverse culinary cultures. The sunshine coast is way too &#8220;white bread&#8221; and we need some hard working first generation Australians to share their culture and cuisine with us. Enriching our communities and offering real value for money delicious and distinctive food.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Cooking School on the Sunshine Coast" href="http://sacredchef.com/cooking-school/">As a cooking teacher, who regularly meets people through my cooking classes, here on the sunshine coast,</a> I get to see what a cross-section of society likes to eat and feels comfortable with on their plate. It is interesting to observe shared traits amongst the groups of people, who pass through my cooking school, and it gets me thinking about the whys and why nots. I wonder why most of us tend to eat from a similarly small selection of meals, despite the fact that we now have available in our supermarkets a far greater choice of ingredients than ever before. I think about what food represents, in terms of its psychological ramifications within our lives, and whether these settings can be adjusted.</p>
<p>It seems to me that many of us retain attitudes towards foods, which were garnered in the family home when we were children; and that the apple generally falls close to the tree. If mum and dad liked certain foods and cooked these foods more often, then for many people these influences remain strong throughout their adult lives. A bit like the children, who upon leaving the nest, build their own homes in the same street, suburb or town as mum and dad, keeping extended family close. <a title="The Pleasures of Food" href="http://sacredchef.com/2011/08/29/the-pleasures-of-food/">Food like shelter is a primal need and is intimately tied up with our notion of emotional security.</a></p>
<p>As we expand the concept of family outwards and it becomes our cultural heritage, food choices again are inextricably linked to our regional and national identities. Here in Australia we can celebrate the rich diversity of our many multicultural strands and this happens most often through experiencing the foods and culinary dishes of these transplanted cultures, like Italian, <a title="Thai Cooking Class with the Sacred Chef Monday 10 Oct" href="http://sacredchef.com/2011/10/09/thai-cooking-class-with-the-sacred-chef-monday-10-oct/">Thai</a> and Chinese foods &#8211; made available by the restaurants and takeaways, which have been created by the sons and daughters of foreign shores.</p>
<p><a href="http://sacredchef.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/simone.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2625" title="Simone" src="http://sacredchef.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/simone.jpg?w=300&#038;h=200" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>We are enriched by experience when we allow ourselves to move beyond the close confines of who and what we think we are. Just as our human species is strengthened biologically when we mate and breed outside of those whom we call our own. The cross fertilisation of genes, ideas and even recipes can make us all healthier, smarter and our lives definitely tastier. Our predominantly Anglo-Saxon backgrounds, have unfortunately, cursed many of us somewhat with limited culinary antecedents and if we do not break out of these restrictive walls, then we are condemned to eat poorly and to miss out on the more sublime flavours that life has to offer.</p>
<p>What and how we cook is often a bit like how we make love, we learn from experience a few things and then tend to groove these moves; somewhat unchangingly. Primal activities are a bit like that, not something that we muck about with too much, and what and how we eat falls into this category. We eat to refuel, to derive energy and sustenance from food, but eating is also a profoundly sensual activity. The nerve endings and taste buds inside our mouths feel every morsel as it slides about, and we experience our food in full technicolour, sensorama &#8211; if we are lucky enough to be in touch with our full five senses of taste, smell, sound, sight and feel.</p>
<p>So eating is a very personal activity, it is close to who we are, and yet we often eat in public, unlike other intimate activities like sex and going to the toilet. This sharing of the eating experience in communal structures, like cafes, restaurants and workplaces is a ritualised cultural activity. We bring our own mores, likes and dislikes, to this public performance of consumption. I am always reminded of the recounted experience of migrant children in the Australian school yard at lunchtime, as the contents of their lunch boxes were reviled by the Anglo kids because of their peculiar differences. As children we often fear what is not customary and uniform, and unfortunately many of us remain in this childish state, particularly around our foods and what we consider acceptable.</p>
<p>When people form intimate relationships, like marriage and close friendships, they are often confronted with the need to move beyond their culinary comfort zone in a bid to cement the stability of their relationship. The desire to share tastes and flavours is sometimes paramount to couples and their ongoing sense of emotional security. I regularly hear about the compromises being made by one partner or the other, and the effect that the changes to their diets has upon them, both positively and negatively. In fact this can be a major motivating impetus in getting people to come along to my cooking classes. A bit like going into relationship counselling I suppose, with both parties hoping that the inspirational influence of a neutral teacher may magically impart some shift in the culinary status quo of their relationship; and it sometimes does.</p>
<p><a href="http://sacredchef.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/seafoodclass.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2368" title="seafoodclass" src="http://sacredchef.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/seafoodclass.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Seafood is a commonly held culinary &#8216;no go zone&#8217;, among many of the people who attend my classes. I hear again and again the refrain, <a title="Sacred Chef Sunshine Coast Caterer &amp; Cooking School" href="http://sacredchef.com/">&#8220;Oh I didn&#8217;t know that seafood could taste this way!&#8221; </a>Whether they had an unfortunate early experience with a bad cook or perhaps have actually never tried the said example of fish or shellfish, due to the fact that mum or dad likewise had avoided the experience and did not cook these critters at home, the fear based result was the same. We often work out who we are by declaring the things we know that we dislike, &#8220;Oh I don&#8217;t eat fish, or oysters, or mussels.&#8221; I may have made this decision when I was 6 years old but I unquestioningly stand by it today. The walls around this individual are close and in yours and their face, perhaps it makes them feel safe. Eventually however there comes a time when the individual feels somewhat cramped by their stated dislikes, and this is when they often find themselves in one of my cooking classes, either alone or with their partner.</p>
<p>I speculate that the adolescent or young adult who has consciously rebelled against the tastes and predilections of his or her parents, usually has developed a wider and more far-reaching culinary diet &#8211; they still may not be able to cook but they may consume more different foods. This individual has broken away from the invisible ties that bind the obedient child to the emotional strings surrounding mummy and daddy. We are all on variable time lines regarding this necessary rebellion, some do it early and some very late, but eventually we all need to break the moorings and swim free; and perhaps then taste the sea.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://sacredchef.com">The Sacred Chef </a>has been engaged by three <a href="http://mcdonalds.com.au">McDonald&#8217;s restaurants, on the Sunshine Coast</a>, to expose their managers to new culinary experiences and techniques. Forward thinking franchisee owners have brought their teams to <a title="Cooking School on the Sunshine Coast" href="http://sacredchef.com/cooking-school/">the Sacred Chef cooking school, here in Maleny on the Sunshine Coast hinterland</a>, for a day or night of fun learning and delicious eating and drinking.</p>
<p>Keeping the menu to a mix of familiar and a few more exotic dishes, a really lovely group of people enjoyed and celebrated the bounty of the Sacred Chef table. In the cooking studio, McDonald&#8217;s employees from the Sunshine Coast, showed their professionalism and training, by adapting quickly and proficiently to new techniques and the preparation of  unfamiliar dishes.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Coconut Redemption!</strong></p>
<p><strong>The True Story Behind a  Real Super Food.</strong></p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p>Is coconut good for you or bad for you?</p>
<p>Is coconut fattening or not?</p>
<p>Research has now  identified that coconut oil actually raises good cholesterol (HDL) more than it raises LDL.</p>
<p>Many consumers are confused about the health and nutritional status of ingredients, like coconut milk and cream – and would like these questions answered.</p>
<p><strong>Mike Foale, </strong><strong>Ex-CSIRO scientist and Honorary Research Fellow in the School of Agriculture &amp; Food Science at the University of Queensland, will answer these questions, at a public talk and demonstration to be held at </strong><strong><em><a href="http://www.greenkitchencafe.com.au">The Green Kitchen Café &amp; Organic Market</a>, next to the Library in Maleny, on Tues 22 November 2011 at 10am.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Author of “The Coconut Odyssey’” published by the Australian Government, and inventor of the “<a href="http://cocosplit.com/">Cocosplit” device, seen on the ABC’s <em>New Inventors </em>programme</a>, Mike Foale is a leading expert on the coconut. Nutritionally and agriculturally, he has studied the coconut throughout his working life and spent years in the field, in the Solomon Islands and a vast array of countries throughout the tropical world.</strong></p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Mike has been helping communities in these poorer nations, whose economies are dependent upon the coconut, through AusAID and their coconut improvement projects.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><em>Discover how the US, through their promotion of soya beans,margarine and their negative PR about coconut fats, effectively killed off Australia’s love of cooking with coconut!</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><strong>SEE MIKE FOALE DEMONSTRATE THE INGENIOUS COCOSPLIT DEVICE LIVE!</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://cocosplit.com/images/new/DSC01201sm1.jpg" alt="" width="287" height="365" /></p>
<p><strong>The Cocosplit device will be available for sale and is the perfect Christmas gift, for foodies!</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><em>When -Tues 22 November 2011 at 10am.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>A huge range of products, derived from the coconut, will be demonstrated  and onsale at the Green Kitchen Organic Market, located at 11 Coral St Maleny – next to the Maleny Library – plenty of free parking is available!</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Local culinary teacher, the Sacred Chef, will be demonstrating some of the many uses coconut oil, cream, milk, sugar and flour can be put to in creating yummy food.</strong></p>

<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>The Coconut Redemption!</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Bios</strong></p>
<p>Mike Foale was raised on a wheat and sheep farm in the Mallee of South Australia but got his first job as a coconut agronomist on a plantation in the Solomon Islands in 1959.</p>
<p>After nine years working out how to increase the yield of fruit from the coconut palms with fertiliser, how best to replace aging palms, and how to develop hybrids, Mike left the islands with his young family and returned to work for CSIRO in Australia on other crops. But the call of the coconut never went unheard so that Mike got involved through AusAID in coconut improvement projects in the south Pacific at a time when the coconut star appeared to be setting.</p>
<p>From the 1970s fierce competition developed in the marketplace for edible oils and massive processors in the USA sought to oust coconut as a healthy food from the market on the basis of some data linking coconut oil with serum cholesterol in humans. The value of coconut fell sharply and was in the doldrums until more detailed research identified that coconut oil actually raised good cholesterol (HDL) more than it raised LDL. Mike does all that he can to spread the word about this finding and to highlight the many other positive effects of coconut oil on human health. This great food, foundation of the healthy diet of hundreds of millions of people in the tropical world, offers much as well to the diet of all who live outside the coconut heartlands.</p>
<p>The Australian government published Mike&#8217;s book &#8220;The Coconut Odyssey&#8221; in 2003 (still in print), and he presented a coconut splitting device known as Cocosplit to the ABCTV New Inventors in 2007 (see details on <a href="http://www.cocosplit.com/">www.cocosplit.com</a>). Mike and his wife Pam moved to Maleny in 2009. He is presently an Honorary Research Fellow in the School of Agriculture and Food Science at the University of Queensland.</p>
<p>The Sacred Chef, Sudha Hamilton, has been cooking professionally for 30 years, restauranter, teacher and caterer, he runs The Sacred Chef cooking school in Maleny, <a href="http://www.sacredchef.com/">www.sacredchef.com</a> , and is the author of several WellBeing Magazine cookbook supplements and was their food editor for five years.</p>
<p>The Green Kitchen Café &amp; Organic Market, is arguably Queensland’s most dedicatedly organic outlet for food, supporting local growers and producers. Located at 11 Coral St, Maleny, it has been  operating under its current  management for about a year <a href="http://www.greenkitchencafe.com.au/">www.greenkitchencafe.com.au</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Sacred Chef was lucky enough to cater for a hen&#8217;s night in Montville, at the <a href="http://www.montvillelodge.com/">Montville Mountain Lodge</a> , on Friday night and a more delightful group of 12 women could not be imagined. Beauty, grace and good taste are rarely met in one such collection of lovely women and it was a privilege to cook for these ladies.</p>
<p>Tapas was the order of the evening and it was prawns in garlic &amp; sherry; scallops in the shell; olive tapenade crostini; Spanish omelette with roasted garlic aioli; local mussels in wine, chilli &amp; tomato; Chorizo sausage, goat&#8217;s cheese pastries; stuffed baby capsicums; asparagus, rocket &amp; balsamic salad; and veal &amp; chicken mince croquettes with a leek &amp; tomato coulis.</p>
<p>Gorgeous women, impending marriage, tarot cards and flashing smiles were all ingredients in beautiful surroundings and the Sacred Chef was weak in the presence of such beauty, but still managed to impress the taste buds of goddesses!</p>
<p><a title="Sacred Chef Sunshine Coast Caterer &amp; Cooking School" href="http://sacredchef.com/">Sacred Chef catering and cooking school on the sunshine coast </a>- a perfect way to celebrate a hen&#8217;s night or day!</p>

Fantastic people who played, cooked and had a great time, sharing their stories and excitement about the impending special day for bride and bride&#8217;s maids.</p>
<p>We made fresh rice paper rolls with crab, bean shoots and glass noodles with a hoi sin dipping sauce; arancinni risotto balls with a tomato and basil coulis; local mussels opened with wine and chilli; panfried crumbed butterflied whiting fillets with roasted garlic aioli; Reggiano Parmesan, asparagus and baby spinach salad with a balsamic dressing; and a pure chocolate tart with raspberry coulis and double cream.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Sacred Chef is now cooking at Queensland&#8217;s most organic cafe, the <a href="http://greenkitchencafe.com.au">Green Kitchen Cafe in Maleny</a>, next to to the Maleny Library at 11 Coral St. Green Kitchen is open for breakfast and lunch, Mon to Sat 8.30am until 2.30pm, and has delicious organic cakes, coffee and meals. The cafe also houses an organic retail store for all your fruit, veggie and a wide range of bottled and dried goods, at, what I have been reliably informed are, the best prices on the sunshine coast and hinterland.</p>
<p>The menu is now receiving a Sacred Chef make-over, in tandem with vegetarian chef, Andy, who is a very experienced and talented organic chef. So come and see us and partake in some sensational organic dishes for breakfast and lunch. Pure food with flair!</p>
<p><a title="cooking classes sunshine coast maleny" href="http://sacredchef.com/2011/08/03/cooking-classes-sunshine-coast-maleny/">Sacred Chef organic cooking classes on the sunshine coast</a>, are available seven days a week &#8211; so book a class today!</p>
