It’s a blog (……finally!!!)
My partner thinks that I’m old-fashioned – not just in nutritional philosophy but also technology. “Technophobe” is actually the word he uses to describe me. Well, its true that there are some things I’m good at (like crafting recipes, public speaking, and distilling the punch line from mountains of information) but other things….. like parking in tight spots in Sydney’s Eastern suburbs without graunching the tyres on my car or being an early adopter of technology….well I struggle. But I’m proud to announce that after years of sending out my newsletters in email format and clogging up your inboxes my Gen Y nephew gave me a massive push along by setting up a wordpress blog for me. So this is my first real blog on wordpress (so miracles can happen!). And it’s very much a work in progress. Over time I’ll upload all of my previous newsletters to this site and flesh it out so that it looks and feels like a website. I hope you enjoy the new format and I look forward to your feedback….
I’m working with the Sydney Roosters this season as their nutrition coach to introduce them to the benefits that a nutrient-dense traditional wholefoods diet can have on their health, fitness and performance. Out with the sports gels and Nutrigrain and in with the bone broths and chicken livers!! So I’m getting down and dirty in the kitchen with some boisterous 18 year old boys …..last week we kicked off the classes with what to cook for breakfast. There was no complaints about pastured bacon and sausages, eggs cooked any way (boiled, friend, scrambled, omelette) served on buttery steamed greens, and washed down with coconut banana smoothies. This coming week I'll teach them the art of making delicious and nourishing slow cooked casseroles. So far the boys are very receptive and I'm really excited about the prospect of seeing their health, fitness and performance soar over the course of the season. GO the Roosters!!! (…am I allowed to say at this point that I don’t follow football?!?......well not yet! I never thought in all my living years I would ever utter the following 3 words “What’s the score?!?” )
