Taste-Test – Gluten-free Bread

By Vanessa On 5th June 2014 · Add Comment · in Global Food Facts, Nutrition Facts
Asia has never been a favourite destination for those who follow a strict gluten-free diet. A request for ‘no soy sauce please’ generally doesn’t go down so well!! Asia’s love of sweet bread, cakes, thickening agents, sauces and noodles coupled with a low prevalence rate of Coeliac disease in SE Asia have meant that any [...]

By Vanessa On 18th February 2014 · Add Comment · in Recipes
There is something so much more exciting about a mushroom than many other vegetables. For a start, we have about 25-30 commercially available species of mushrooms to choose from, so we need never be bored of a mushroom!! Particularly as it’s such a fun-gi (the Dads in my life will be proud of that [...]

Merry Christmas – TTD-style

On 15th December 2012 By Vanessa
Merry Christmas to everyone and I hope you are enjoying a fun and festive ‘silly season’. I’m not the type of dietitian that’s here to preach to you about avoiding a second helping of Christmas pudding or make you feel guilty about finishing off a box of chocolates in the office today. You [...]

Healthy Banana Muffins

On 13th December 2012 By Vanessa
This is the easiest banana muffin recipe around – and as an added bonus, they taste delicious. I’ve adapted the original recipe to increase the fibre content and lower the glycaemic index (GI) by adding wholemeal flour and oats. I also increased the bananas and reduced the quantities of sugar and oil. Bake a batch and [...]

On 16th November 2012 By Vanessa
How conscious are you of the food you are putting into your body? Do you think about where it comes from? How it is made? How it will benefit you? How much energy it took to produce the food or get it to your plate? Are you a ‘conscientious foodie’? Working as a dietitian, I [...]

Hectic and Healthy? Is it possible?

On 15th August 2012 By Vanessa
Life can zoom past your eyes very quickly if you don’t stop to smell the roses. Unfortunately, it’s just not possible to always have the time to smell that proverbial rose or to be as healthy as you’d like to be. As I’m packing up our apartment preparing to move, trying to do some work [...]

DIET – the worst 4-letter word

On 16th July 2012 By Vanessa
Many moons ago, when I was at high school, two of my best friends and I were so horrified by an advertisement on the front page of The Canberra Times that we decided to take action! The ad was for a popular weight loss clinic in Canberra at the time. Before and after photos [...]

SALT smart – your questions answered

On 14th June 2012 By Vanessa
The origin of the phrase ‘take it with a grain of salt’ comes from the idea that food is more easily swallowed if eaten with salt. In medieval England salt was held in high value – it was rare and expensive. If you are someone who is the ‘salt of the earth’, you are a [...]

Super Real Muesli Bar

On 16th May 2012 By Vanessa
In my pursuit of ‘real food’, I came across this delicious recipe for homemade muesli bars. Those you buy in the shops are generally high in fat and sugar and contain a list of ingredients longer than my arm. This recipe contains very little sugar, is a wonderful source of monounsaturated fats from the [...]
