This weekend we dusted the cobwebs off the BBQ and harvested fresh produce from the garden. Summers coming, the days are longer, warmer and brighter and simple wholesome dinners are prepared outside on the BBQ instead of in large warming cast iron pots. The sausages are beef home kill, the vegetables were pulled from the garden and the sweet spring clovers were picked fresh from the fields. Your body naturally craves more nutrient dense raw food in summer to cool and refresh. Humans and nature work in one big circle. We should work with not against the rhyme. It's a beautiful relationship once you can see and you can understand it.

Clovers are sweet spring flowers that are great eaten raw or dried in tea and for infusions. They are a handy herb to use to cleanse the blood, for when you want to treat external out breaks like acne or eczema you need to look inward and to cleanse the blood is a great way to start.   They taste sweet and are incredible scattered through a salad for freshness, colour and added sweetness. When picking clover the deeper and brighter the colour the sweeter they will be.

It has been a while since the last time I ate a salad, and I realized that it is about timer for me to explore once again! Spring green salad with a miso and sesame dressing looks really enticing and I cannot wait to finally taste it. I can feel that it's a different salad from the ones that I have tasted because putting a miso on a salad sounds so uniqued for me, that's why I am looking forward to try it. I will make sure to introduce it to my friends to so they can also judge if the salad is a good one or not.
