SIMPLE HEALTHY TASTYMany people over complicate

SIMPLE HEALTHY TASTYMany people over complicate their daily meals and that’s why often they get overwhelmed.Cooking is easy if you keep it simple and eating healthy is no rocket science.Try and use less ingredients, pick what’s left in the fridge over going to the shops, experiment with what you got.Here is a quick one if you got ZUCCHINI!I must admit, personally don’t love zucchini but if I have it on my weekly seasonal box from @the.farmers.store.byron this is my go to:FRITTER BATTER
2 large zucchini
1 or 2 eggs
3/4 cup flour
Salt & pepperTIP: if your zucchini is releasing too much water, squeeze it or leave it on a strainer with a little salt (in the fridge) overnight so the water drips out of it.Serve with silverbeet, spinach or kale.Add poached eggs or avocado. Maybe both!For the dressing, go green! Pesto, salsa verde or chimichurri will all work.And if you like quick healthy recipes, don’t forget to click follow.🍳 @ironcladco 🔥

LONG LUNCH DONE RIGHTYesterday I had the pleasu

LONG LUNCH DONE RIGHTYesterday I had the pleasure to cook at one of the most stunning places in the Byron area.The property is close enough to Byron but it also feels like you are away from everything and allowing everyone to fully disconnect.Attention to detail is at every corner of @amaroobangalow and their farm will make the perfect getaway for families, friends and also corporate events .Guests have picked a great spread with the highlight being the +300g pasture fed Scotch Fillets locally sourced by the legends at @alstonvillequalitymeats and cooked over the open fire 🥩This was the first of many events at this magical place and I would love to see you there next for a memorable dining experience.Thanks @amaroobangalow for having me on board and I look forward to what’s ahead 🔥👨‍🍳

SIMPLE HEALTHY RECIPESThe last couple of months

SIMPLE HEALTHY RECIPESThe last couple of months have been a ride, lots of events, Kitchen Hero program, studying, renovating and planning our next trip.All of those moving parts with the eyes on the most special day of our lives, possibly at the end of Jan when our baby will arrive ❤️It gets busy, it’s gets challenging but I have always enjoyed living on high energy. Very exciting times ahead!After many weeks I finally got to open this box that was sitting on my office but I wanted to share this on a video because it was a very special gift from my friend T @thehealthychefofficial 🙌🏻Teresa has been an inspiration for my cooking since 2010 when I was the Head Chef at her café The Healthy Chef in Avalon Beach.Since then she thought me so much about simple healthy food that we can eat daily using great ingredients and without having to wasting hours in the kitchen.It’s awesome that almost 15 years later I can still cook her amazing recipes from her cookbook SIMPLE HEALTHY RECIPES.Teresa is a wealth of knowledge in health food and if you are into healthy food, The Healthy Chef range only uses the best you can find and this book will give you all the inspiration that you need to eat well.

BEEF RIBS IS EASIER THEN YOU THINKIt has been a

BEEF RIBS IS EASIER THEN YOU THINKIt has been a huge couple of months with events and a little reno before the baby comes but nothing gonna stop us from treating ourselves.The boys are working hard to get things ready before we travel next month and this is what it looks like to be a tradie at the Byron Bay Chef home 😎Picked up some grass fed beef ribs from @alstonvillequalitymeats and turned on my @traegergrillsoz to cook an epic feast.I’ve filled up the Traeger with cherrywood pellets and the result was soo good that the builder and the plumber asked to move in 😂😂MARINADE
Garlic
Rosemary
Sea salt
Little oilChuck the ingredients on the blender or food processor and spread over the beef ribs.COOKING TIME
I didn’t cover mine and left for the day to do its thing at 110C for about 7 hours.After 7 hours I’ve turned temperature up to 150C for 45-60 minutes to get a bit more caramelised in the outside.Make sure you stock up on @stoneandwood pacific ale before because they were a perfect match!Slow cooking your meats works in the oven but on these Traeger grills the final result is next level.They are not just a smoker! They grill, smoke, roast, braise and bbq.Thanks @traegergrillsoz for this gift, it was a game changer for my cooking! 🔥

IT GOES QUICK WHEN YOU ARE HAVING FUNOver 11 yea

IT GOES QUICK WHEN YOU ARE HAVING FUNOver 11 years ago we crossed paths and we were inseparable since then.We have written a beautiful story and if you ask me if I would change anything, my answer would be no.Every moment of happiness and every challenge we had, they were all there for a reason and that’s what made us who we are.What’s ahead for us is much more than a new chapter, it’s a whole new book that we are about to write.There is so much good and bad in our world and I remember many years ago questioning a wise friend if it was the right time to bring a kid into such a challenging world.- “But there is a lot of evil people out there”, I said.And my friend replied with a smile what would change my mindset forever:- “That’s exactly why you should bring a kid into this world. We need more good and kind people, like you and Camila, raising good kids because they are the ones who will make the world a better place”That has stuck in my head ever since.And here we are, four months away from welcoming our baby boy into our beautiful world.Little champion warrior, you are up for a life fulfilled with so much love, your mum and I can’t wait to meet you here in the outside ❤️@plentydesign @camilamey this is us! 🥰📸 by @ricardoslimaa 👊🏻
