Good for You
More-ganic | 08.08.2011
There’s a lot of organic too-ing and fro-ing these days. Farmers, supermarkets, chefs, consumers – it seems everyone has an opinion on whether organic is worth investing in as a crop, a product, an ingredient or a dish. For me it’s simple; when you eat organic, vegetables in particular, you realise...
Feast or Famine? | 27.07.2011
Food home delivery for anything other than a takeaway is a mission for me. Not just because I live on my own in an old Chinese walk up so there’s no doorman to sign if I’m not here, but also because I have a pint sized fridge with a tiny shelf freezer that’s only got space for the essentials - ice a...
Eating Healthfully Post-Retreat – Mission Impossible? | 20.04.2011
I recently spent three days doing a newly launched detox retreat in Phuket that’s centred around drinking, breathing and relaxing, three things I previously thought I was already expert at.

To Eat or Not To Eat | 21.06.2010
Everyone loves Japanese food. Especially sushi and sashimi. With an emphasis on raw fish, they are a spring clean on a wooden tray — or conveyor belt — the epitome of fresh, beautiful and healthy. Or are they?...
Salad Wars | 19.05.2010
It seemed like forever that quick and easy, freshly made salads for lunch were hard to find in Hong Kong. Mix was an option, Prêt a Manger did good pre-mades, but finally, like buses, two salad specialists come along at once: Dressed and Just Salad....
Truly Madly Deeply Healthy | 19.04.2010
Life Café is ground zero for organic, vegetarian food in Hong Kong. It's also an unofficial home for Hong Kong's healthinis (or healthini wannabes - i.e. me)......
