Ora, A Different Path

As we get ready for a community dinner party TashIanni and I have a good old chat about the before's and after's of Ora and some other funny stuff.

Our plans changed and it was a bit of a mess. A story of what went down and an update to what's going on now, with us and the Cook Book.

Talking lots of things food and body. Sponsors this week are Tempo @temporeformerpilates and Mesa @mesa.body I'm talking to the amazing Lydia Irving @internal.instinct

In this episode we start with some information on properly preparing ingredients to maximize their health benefits. We share some of our secrets when it comes to gluten free baking and vegan baking. I talk a bit about why it's important to give cooking a crack and as always, some hot tips and opinions thrown in along the way. Our quote this week comes from one of my favorite books, Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. Bonus Recipe. Chickpea Roti; Blend together 2 cups of filtered water with 250g of organic Besan flour and 1 teaspoon sea salt until smooth. Pour this mixture into a jar or bucket and seal with a lid and leave on the bench overnight (cooler temperature) or in the fridge (warmer temperatures). The next day, using a 1/3 cup, cook the roti batter one roti at a time by pouring the mixture into a well oiled (ghee works well) pan. I use a 20cm neoflam pan. Cook each side until golden brown. These can be stored in a Tupperware in the fridge for a couple of days and reheated as needed. Or you just keep the mixture in the fridge and cook them up as you need them. The mixture lasts one week in the fridge. Enjoy

A conversation with a Dad that I thought would be about V-wording your children but it ended up being so much more than that.

In a time where there is so much information, it can be hard to know what to eat. We talk about how and why we do the things we do at Ora, what inspires us and what helps us make these daily decisions. Our sponsor this week is Lydia Irving from Internal Instinct. @internal.instinct internal-instinct.com Books: Nutritional & Physical Degeneration by Weston A. Price

After being asked many, many questions about these milks we are here to explain what we do like and what we don't like and why. How are these ingredients made, such as vegetable oil? What effects does vegetable oil have on our bodies? What about if it is heated? We hope this episode helps you to understand why we've been harping on for the last seven years about why it's best to avoid these toxic oils. We hope you enjoy and we apologise for any sounds issues towards the end.

Today's episode answers the most commonly asked question which is, 'How did you come up with the idea of Ora?' A lot of people ask if I was sick, if someone close to me was sick, no......I don't have a crazy story to share, only some knowledge that I stumbled upon that I thought should be shared with anyone that eats food. The Book I reference in this episode is called Vegetarianism Explained by Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride MD, MMedSci (Neurology), MMedSci (Nutrition). A sensational read that I recommend to anyone that eats food. We hope you enjoy.
