More Healthy Recipes for Your Family
Here are some of our favourite family recipes. Some are more healthy than others but because I prepare them myself (or have tested them) I am confident in recommending every one.
Recipes and making them isn't always a joy. My friend Miriam confesses to having a recipe phobia. Good thing she can laugh about it while she is conquering her phobia.
Pottering around in the kitchen is my meditation, my sanity. I just love the feel of food and working with it. One thing I do is play with recipes. I might make a thing once 'by the book' but by the second time I'm already adapting it. But the essence of the recipe stays the same and over time I develop some real family favourites.

Top Recipes
Chocolate Swiss Roll
A delicious chocolate swiss roll made from rice flour for the wheat intolerant. I used this Swiss Roll to make the engine of the Train Cake for Benjamin's birthday.
Raw Tomato Soup and Pasta Sauce
This raw tomato soup was a special request from my brother Johan for our Sunday raw food experience. Adding the avocado was his recommendation and it works like a bomb.
Chocolate Sweets
This is a real easy recipe for a delicious home made chocolate sweet. You just mix the ingredients together - no particular order either. Just plonk it and add water/liquor to get it to the consistency of your liking.
New Recipes
Avocado chocolate mousse
Play with the ratio between cocoa and honey. We love our Avocado Chocolate Mousse bitter and not so sweet, but you may prefer otherwise.
Seed-stuffed Butternut
This Seed-stuffed Butternut recipe is adapted from Mary-Ann Shearer's 'The Natural way' Recipe Book One to include more raw ingredients.
Carrot and sweet potato casserole
This Carrot and sweet potato casserole recipe is adapted from Mary-Ann Shearer's 'The Natural way' Recipe Book One to include more raw ingredients.

Chocolate Cake
A delicious chocolate cake recipe with a rye flour variation for the wheat intolerant. I used this Chocolate Cake to make the sections of the Train Cake for Benjamin's birthday.
Date Balls
I used these date balls for the coals of Benjamin's birthday cake. But they also make and excellent treat for a lunchbox.
Fruit Squares
Or fruit and nut and what you can add squares. I use these fruit squares as a healthy snack or as a nice treat for a lunch box.
Healthy Ice Cream
Here in Africa we have no use for hot steaming puddings in summer and if you want to try something other than trifle, try this recipe. Not only is it a good alternative, but a whole lot healthier. I have been converted to ice cream as a major healthy treat alternative.
