I am sure to have mentioned this before, but I love Vegetable curries of all types, as they are healthy, mostly alkalising and very versatile too.
I have only discovered this curry a little while ago, but have already cooked it several times, as it is so easy to prepare and tastes delicious. The broccoli, carrots and peas together with the coconut milk and curry powder give this dish an abundance of flavours.
Apart from the great taste, the broccoli, peas and carrots are also very healthy and alkaline, as between them they contain high levels of Vitamin C, dietary fiber, antioxidants and minerals.

Vegetable curries in general are one of my favourite dishes, as they are generally very healthy and alkaline at the same time. This recipe is a little bit different, as it contains root vegetables of your choice. Feel free to choose from celeriac, carrots, parsnips and beetroot.
Root vegetables are plant roots used as vegetables. Here “root” means any underground part of the plant. They are all packed with various nutrients are a rich source of potent antioxidants and nutrients such as sodium, potassium, Vitamin C and magnesium. Beetroot for example also contains betaine, which is important for cardiovascular health.

This warm alkaline salad contains some of my favourite vegetables – spinach, courgettes and red peppers. This Mediterranean style salad is not only tasty and flavoursome, but very healthy and nutritious too!
In these still very cold temperatures it is nice to have a warm salad for a change, as most recipes are cold ones.
Red peppers, spinach and courgettes are highly alkalising and are also packed with important nutrients. They contain high levels of Vitamin C, A, manganese, folate and potassium.
Feel free to combine with brown basmati rice or new potatoes.

This week I continue the theme of using pumpkins and seasonal vegetables in our weekly alkaline recipe, as I believe in the importance of eating seasonal foods and particularly pumpkins are at their best in the autumn months.
This is a delicious pumpkin stew which contains other healthy and alkaline vegetables like carrots, pumpkins, new potatoes, onions and garlic which are all packed with a wide range of nutrients.
The word pumpkin originates from the word “pepon”, which is Greek for “large melon”. They are available in various shapes and sizes and they are a great source of vitamin C, potassium, vitamin A, dietary fiber and manganese and are a good source of folate and omega 3 fatty acids.

This warming and alkalising chickpea soup has got delicious arabic flavours given by spices like cumin and coriander.
Chickpeas are a very versatile type of pulse, which are used for a wide variety of dishes like stews. They are also highly nutritious and are a good source of protein, folate and zinc. They are also high in dietary fiber and low in fat.
I really like the smooth texture and oriental flavours in this alkalising chickpea soup, which are complemented by other ingredients like garlic, carrots, onions and celery.

Now that the temperatures are steadily rising and the sun shows itelf more often, I love to eat more healthy salads.
I always look out for ways of creating different salads to keep it interesting and whilst doing this, I have come across this recipe using Kohlrabi and a Vegetable Dressing, which I think is delicious. I have eaten this salad in Germany where I come from and where Kohlrabi is widely used.
A Kohlrabi looks a bit like an alien life form, but has been deliberately developed in Northern Europe during the 16th Century. It has a mild flavour and has the ability to absorb the flavour of other ingredients in a meal.

This soup is made of jerusalem artichokes and carrots, which give it a smooth texture and a very earthy taste.
The jerusalem artichoke is one of the lessser known vegetables around, which is a shame as it has a unique nutty, sweet and crunchy taste and is a very good source of iron.
Did you know that the jerusalem artichoke is not truly an artichoke but a variety of sunflower and has nothing to do with Jerusalem, but is derived instead from the Italian word for sunflower, girasole?
