Gone are the days of having to use plain old lemon essence – usually made from artificial or so-called “nature identical” (seriously?) ingredients at worst, or at best, from non-premium ingredients distilled hastily for maximum yield. Instead, can you imagine infusing your cooking and baking with genuine essential oils, made to the highest possible standards of [...]

When I was a youngster, I read a lot. I’ve never stopped! I’ve always had a thirst for learning. And books are awesome for education and learning, not to mention entertainment, too.

Personally, I’m all for comfort food in winter. And in summer! But in winter, I’ll give myself free rein to succumb. I figure the S seasons - spring and summer – are built more for Spartan food.

Ahh, we humans can’t seem to resist meddling in nature’s affairs in the quest for perfection and convenience. Did you know that modern wheat, which is hybridised to the hilt, has 42 chromosomes versus ancient einkorn which has never been hybridised and contains only 14 chromosomes?
