This page is all about food habits. It also has recipes at the end to help you get off those foods that deplete our energy and onto those foods that give you vital energy (without the denial!)

A Word about Intolerances
What does intolerant mean?
When our bodies cannot eliminate the bits that it does not want or the food causes our immune system to produce barriers to protect ourselves from some foods then this is called an intolerant food. An allergy is something quite different. This is where our immune system produces an over reaction to some foods. Some people nearly die from this reaction as the breathing system is blocked by the antibodies. This book is about intolerances

What happens to your body when you eat intolerant foods? You body will deposit those parts that it cannot eliminate in your joints and nervous system. It will try to protect itself from absorbing the intolerant foods by producing mucus in the lining of your digestive and respiratory system. 

So lets get away from these foods. People often know this but can't quite make the jump to the foods that give them lots of energy and boost the immune system. Here are some recipes that help you with this process with no denial and minimum of effort!

Onion Bharji Salad

Yogsub

This recipe was created as a substitiue for yoghurt hence the name yogsub!
The longer you leave it to soak the creamer it gets!

1 dessert spoon oats
1 dessert spoon dessicated coconut
1 dessert spoon raisins (optional)
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon linseeds
2 cashew nuts or walnuts
soya or rice milk

Place all the dry ingredients in a jar and pour in rice milk or soya milk until slightly over covered. Leave to soak for 6-12  hours.

Variations
Can have with puffed rice to give varied crispy texture.


Creamy Oaty Pudding

This is my bread and butter pudding substitute! I hope you enjoy it - again the longer you leave it to soak to creamery it gets! It looks like flapjack when you make it.

Ingredients
2 mugs rolled oats
Half mug dessicated coconut
Half mug raisins
Half sweet potato grated
1 heaped dessert spoon of coconut oil
1 heaped dessert spoon of molasses
1 mug liquorice tea
Half mug rice milk (or soya milk)
1 dessert spoon fresh ginger
Half teaspoon nutmeg
Half teaspoon cinnamon
Half teaspoon cardomon
Quarter teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon bicabonate of soda

Place all the dry ingredients in a big pan or bowl. Add in the liquids and leave for 4-8 hours. Place in a greased baking tray with at least 2 inches depth. Bake for 45 mins at 180 or gas 4. You can bake it at 150 gas 3 for longer if you wish.

This is a great one to prepare a day in advance and leave to soak in the fridge. Leave out the bicarbonate of soda until you are about to put it in the oven.

Onion Bhaji Salad

This is a great recipe if you have lovingly prepared a salad and the weather turns cold and its the last thing you fancy. In fact you want something warm and spicy to nurture yourself. Here is the flexible recipe!

One lime juiced
1 Teaspoon ground coriander
1 Teaspoon ground cumin
2 Teaspoons fenugreek leaves
1 teaspoon bouillon
1 tablespoon sunflower oil
2 cloves garlic crushed (optional)  

Place the above ingredients into a big bowl and mix well.
Then add in:-  

Half mug frozen peas
Half mug frozen sweet corn
Half mug sprouted aduki beans (optional)
Half red pepper chopped finely
Half red onion chopped finely
Big bunch of fresh coriander leaves finely chopped (can use dried leaves)  

Mix well and serve with other salads or heat up and serve with hot rice. You could either fry it up. or place over a pan of hot water and leave on a low heat, or place in the oven. I have mixed it with chickpea flour and then placed in the oven hence the name onion bhaji salad!

I have even frozen the salad and then waited for the warm weather again before defrosting and eating as a salad!
