Vegetable Ideas for Children!
Vegetables supply the
bulk of human nutritional requirements for
energy & disease prevention. Vegetables are the

Tanya’s Update from Conference
When we think of preventing & treating cancer
we generally think of the
biggest influencing factors being genetics,
chemical exposure
(cigarettes), stress & hormone therapy.
The latest research tends
to suggest genetics are a
small risk compared to
obesity! Obesity is more
carcinogenic that chronic
stress. So startling was
the evidence that proved
exercising at least 3 times
per week before & after
breast cancer diagnosis,
improved survival rates
& longevity, even more
than chemotherapy (the
women in the studies
continued to exercise
during & after treatment). Even the women
who had never exercised
that took up exercising
during treatment & continued afterwards had
greater survival rates.
Exercise, eat well & be
happy!!

Janella Purcells Award Winning Book “Eating for the Seasons”
Cooking For Health
and Happiness
“Janella's much anticipated second book
teaches us how to eat
and cook for the changing seasons. It shows us
the type of food we
should be eating, why
and how to prepare
them. Each season has
been conveniently separated into sections breakfast, lunch, dinner,
sweet things, drinks,
condiments and sides.
The recipes are easy
vegetarian dishes with
some seafood included.
You won't find any meat,
sugar, cows milk or refined products in the
ingredients. It also
teaches us about the related organs, emotion,
ailments and flavour related to each season. It
promises to be a colourful, easy to read and informative recipe book.
Available now in bookshops and also from the
on-line store.”

Adzuki Beans, Pumpkin & Ginger Casserole
Kombu is a deep sea
kelp with thick wide
leaves, that grows best in
clean, cool deep waters.
A seaweed containing
around 500 times the
iodine of shellfish.
Kombu is high in protein, iron and calcium.
Use in soups, pickles,
salads and bean dishes to
increase digestibility.
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 large onion, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 cup adzuki beans,
soaked overnight
1/2 butternut pumpkin
4-6 shiitake mushrooms
1 stick of kombu
1 litre water or stock
sea salt and pepper
tamari, to taste
Method
Saute onions in olive oil
until soft, then add the
garlic and ginger. Cook
for a further minute.
Add beans, pumpkin,
mushrooms, kombu and
water or stock to the pot
and bring to the boil.
Lower heat and simmer.
When mushrooms are
soft, take them out of
the pot and remove
stems. Slice caps finely
and put back into pot, do
the same with the
kombu. Cook casserole
until beans are soft, then
season as desired.
This is nice served with
brown rice or quinoa, or
cooked in individual winter pumpkins that have
been baked in the oven
with the seeds removed.
This dish is beneficial to
the kidneys and the
spleen. Macrobiotically,
it is a perfectly balanced
meal..
“Celebrate your body with
wholesome, soul foods.
Focus on balance. Sit
down to eat, indulging
your senses—taste, chew
and nourish your body.
Cook for those you love
and want to love.” Tanya

This is a wonderful

packaged.
“Cinnamon, cacao,
honey and milk ~
this lovely brew
satisfies sugar
cravings and
nurtures the soul”
Enjoy!

Cacao originates from
South America, and is
the natural derivative of
processed cocoa.
Raw cacao is known as
’Food of the Gods’and
have been highly revered since ancient
times for its medicinal
properties.
Cacao (raw chocolate)
is a good source of minerals such as magnesium, iron, copper, and
calcium.
It also contains high
levels of antioxidants
which are preserved in
raw cacao, unlike processed chocolate. This
makes raw cacao a
fabulous guilt-free replacement!
Try a hot cacao drink to
relax on a cold winter’s
day.
