Orange and Almond Semolina Cake Although we haven’t tested it, a discussion with some of the GI experts at Sydney Uni confirmed my thoughts: this cake should have a low GI. It’s great for anyone managing high blood sugar levels and it’s delicious. With a raft of very healthy ingredients it holds as much treat factor appeal as other less healthy cakes around. You’ll love it. |

Pear and Tahini Muffins These high energy muffins are great to pack for work or school – they are high in kilojoules though so if you want to shake the extra winter kilo before summer hits, don’t make the mistake of many in thinking because they are healthy you can eat them by the dozen. I freeze them and take out only what I need at any one time. |

Fennel, Chilli, Garlic & Pumpkin Pasta The chilli & garlic in this pasta dish provide a lovely warming quality for the cooler nights of autumn and winter however this recipe also tastes nice cold during Summer and Spring. If you like spice simply add more chilli...The most important thing to remember?....Always use good quality pasta and parmesan! |

Gluten Free Honey and Linseed Cookies I’ve altered the original recipe to make these suitable for people who suffer from gluten allergies, but others can substitute the millet flakes with rolled oats if they prefer. |

Dhal If you are down to your last few dollars this is the dish. The individual ingedients are inexpensive and combines it makes a wonderfully nurturing meal. There's no way around the salt I'm afraid. You really need it for flavour. |
