Until, with a sigh of relief, you remember that you drank a virtuous vegetable juice or had eaten a salad containing beetroot.
That was me last week. At a festival for the weekend, I propped up the juice bar all morning, engrossed in a great raw nutrition book.

--Recipe for Rose Hip Soup-- Unlike people, roses probably do not consider themselves as having a purpose in life.

I remember the first time I had a chance to get to know wild fennel. It was growing tall and wild behind an empty lot I walked through every day on my way to work at an Italian restaurant in the Viaduct harbour in Auckland, New Zealand. It's funny to look back on that period in my life and realize t ...
