A while ago I mentioned that we were in the process of selling our home and moving to the inner city. Well we’ve been in the new (old) house for a few weeks now and as we are now settled, I thought it was high time I shared some photos of the new place. You’ll [...]
Autumn to Winter + a Roast Vegetable Crumble
After a week of near 30 degree heat (at the end of Autumn I might add), Winter has finally started to creep in. The temperature has dropped to the teens and the wind has an icy chill. As I type this I can hear the rain pattering against our tin roof; a burst of heavy [...]

Food is more to me than survival. Food is passion, love, creation and expression. My purpose in publishing 'The Natural Foodie' is to encourage people to get back to their roots and fall in love with cooking, learn more about the variety of fruits, vegetables, grains and pulses available to us, and how to use them, and to promote the importance and practicality of a wholefoods plant-based diet. The kind of diet that's good for our waistlines, and for our mother earth.
I have strong views on local, seasonal and ethical eating, and kindness is at the crux of my values. I will never promote the use of animals or dairy as an ingredient on my blog, nor in my daily life. The only eggs I use are those that come lovingly from my family's chooks; which I know have been treated with only kindness and peace.
I hope this blog encourages you to broaden your culinary scope, choose ethical, sustainable and organic more often than not, and inspires you to make a change in your own life.
With kindness, Kirsty x
