Chopped salads are incredibly simple to make – you have to give them a go. If nothing else, they can offer you some chopping practice, so why not make something tasty while you’re practising your knife skills? Anyone can make these salads, just make sure you use a good, sharp chef’s knife and your biggest chopping board and watch your fingers! Image © David Loftus

Guacamole is a great, quick and easy snack to rustle up when your mates are around. Just make sure your avocados are nice and ripe – this will make it a lot easier to scoop out the flesh and chop it up. Image © David Loftus
I recently started cooking for those around me more often and an ongoing dialogue about food and nutrition naturally followed. Cooking really is the most important thing an ordinary person can do to help push this country towards a Food Revolution, for which Jamie Oliver, Michael Pollan and countless others, including myself, are advocating. If everyone cooked real food a little more often we may just get there a little more quickly.
In Portuguese-speaking countries, such as Mozambique and Brazil, the traditional preparation of avocado is mashed with sugar and lemon, and eaten as a dessert or snack.
This is a typical salad in our household when it's avocado season and our tree is bearing us with her precious fruits! Blog post here: http://christinascucina.blogspot.com/search/label/Avocado and Tomato Salad
My quest to a healthier way of eating made me stop buying and eating added sugar. And so did my children and partner. We therefore stopped eating cakes and ice creams. Though my kids wanted some frozen dessert at the weekend and thanks to a colleague who inspired me I came out with this recipe as we do indulge sometimes. This is all made from real food and additives free ☺
If you are a raw vegan or gluten-intolerant, do you miss rice? This recipe is so much like rice, only better, that it is absolutely astounding!! Guilt-free rice-like pleasure. Instead of sticking to your innards like glutenous rice, celery root repairs, cleanses and tones them! Celery Root is also called Celeriac, turnip-rooted celery, or knob celery. Here are my kids demonstrating the recipe on video: http://youtu.be/a057UsSUNWE
This an easy, healthy recipe that you can make with spinach, chervil or lamb lettuce. It's fresh and comforting. I learn it when I was a trainee at a "living food restaurant". The avocado makes it so creamy you won't miss dairy at all!
Like eggs? Like avocado? Why not combine the two! Make these avocado eggs and impress the entire brunch party! Fast, easy and delicious.
