Recipe: Fruit roll ups






Fruit roll ups


An easy way to eat naturally when outside is to have fruit roll ups.
Although their fructose content is high (so if you are on a diet or suffer from diabetes decide when to stop) fruit leathers are a good thing, in moderation.

I would use them as  substitute for more problematic sweets that we tend to eat or give to our children: for example lollipops, wine gums etc which feature ingredients made in a plant (a factory).

To make a fruit roll up, simply make your favourite smoothie, not too liquid, and then pour in into the Teflex sheet of the dehydrator.

Leave it there for 7.5 hours at a medium temperature - the soft disc that you find in the end can easily be rolled up and packed in cling film.  I like cutting it in small pieces...

To decorate your leathers, the technique I came up with is easy:



1) Prepare 2 smoothies with different colours (i.e. one red, one yellow) 
2) Pour the first one in the dehydrator sheet without filling the entire surface. Only cover the the central area.
3) Pour the second smoothie in the outside area.
4) Tease the edges of the central smoothie towards the other area by using some cutlery (fork ribs)
5) When you are happy with the design go ahead and dehydrate!

The taste is yummy and the look is cool!

What else can you ask from life?

The pirate drawing!

I love how Marie has coloured my pirate. Such a cute choice of pastel colours. Who on earth said that pirates must wear just black and earth colours! This is great! Brava!

Dehydrated zucchini, tomatoes and oranges

Hello! This is what I have dehydrated last night: orange, cinnamon apples, garlic courgettes and tomatoes! Yummy! After 3 days on 100% raw I felt great and brimming with energy!  Tonight though, we at dinner at our friends... I had chicken, cooked veggies and melon - now I feel bloated and heavy and even my shoulders ache. Strange...

How to publish a book with Amazon Create Space

How do you self publish a book? I am asked this question quite often now, soI have decided to put my little experience in writing to help you out. Here is the link you want: https://www.createspace.com/ I worked out lots of information after signing as much of the info only comes out after having a title etc and going through the whole process. For example the speed of the proof and the price are only found out in the very end of the order... So, let's go in order. To self publish a book you need to create an account with "Create space", which is the publishing arm of Amazon. Then you choose a title, you are given a free ISBN number, and you upload your own cover and your contents in pdf file. You can do this for free or you can you their (paid) services to create a cover and proof-read the book. You can also use their free templates (useful for margins, headers and page breaks). Usually people create the book in .doc and then upload it in .pd...
