I received ‘The Gelatin Secret: The surprising superfood that transforms your health and beauty’ from my buddy Sylvie over at Hollywood Homestead recently and wanted to share my review here with you. If you’re part of the paleo/primal/real food community you will have noticed that the word ‘gelatin’ or ‘gelatine’ depending on where you’re from, gets thrown around a lot and with good reason. Gelatin really is a superfood and has many far reaching benefits.

In ‘The Gelatin Secret’ you will find over 45 recipes both savoury and sweet that will help you and your family get the benefits of gelatin in your diet. You will also find real food success stories from Sylvie and her husband Eric as well as in-depth information about gelatin, how it can help our bodies in a variety of ways and how to include it in your diet. But before we get into a bit more detail about the book let’s start by defining just what gelatin is… [Read more…]

Uborkasálata is a simple and refreshing cucumber salad from Hungary and it is one of my husband’s favourites.

This cucumber salad has 8 ingredients, 2 of those are optional so you can see it really is a simple. This simple cucumber salad can also be kept covered in the fridge for a few days to enjoy.

Hungarian rice cake or Rizskoch

Hungarian Rice Cake, called Rizskoch is a traditional Hungarian dessert that is like a form of rice pudding, only it is baked to form a cake. Some people add sultanas to the mix and others leave them out, I have made Hungarian Rice Cake both ways and prefer it with sultanas added to the mix. This cake is not overly sweet because traditionally it is served with jam, although I recently tried it with a drizzle of honey on top and really liked that. As some of you may know my husband is of Hungarian background and recently we travelled to Budapest. It was an amazing trip and it was great to be able to visit the city where my husband’s family is from. [Read more…]

Roasted celeriac mash with paprika

I’ve been on a bit of a celeriac/celery root kick lately. I had never even tasted it, let alone cooked with it until a few weeks ago. I recently just shared this recipe as a guest post over on ‘A Girl Worth Saving’ which also uses roasted celeriac but for this recipe I turned it into a mash. Celeriac is a funny looking vegetable but once you get past the look, the taste is delicious! Roasting and mashing celeriac are just a couple of ways to prepare it, you can also use it raw in salads, make soup with it or turn it into pasta like in this recipe. [Read more…]
