Salad Days

This divine Melbourne heat is the perfect time to eat fresh food in its most natural state, raw and preferably organic, but that doesn't mean boring.  Fresh raw foods provide your body with an optimal opportunity to absorb and utilise the vitamins, minerals and enzymes within the food.  If this is not enough they taste amazing too.
I am known in many circles as the Salad Queen I could live on them.. I virtually do most of the year, so for me salads need to be everything, satisfying, full of texture, appealing to the eye and most of all nutritious... Without further adieu allow me to give you just a taste of the 3 summer favourites at the moment.



Vegan Vietnamese Salad- inspired by food from a market stall food vendor I had here in Melbourne, I had to recreate it.  It's divine and full of amazing flavours.
Tomato Salad- if you have access to heirloom tomatoes , use these.

Fattoush Salad- this salad makes use of summer's amazing bounty with the addition of optional wholemeal pitta bread for texture.

Thanksgiving


So today is Thanksgiving in the US, and I was pondering this concept and thinking that if there was anything that we should take from the US, it should be thanksgiving. Giving thanks collectively has to be one of the most beautiful things that we could do, living in Australia, having access to the most delicious foods to nourish ourselves- there's a good reason to give thanks.
So today, from the team at the Organic Empire we thank all the amazing people that support us so that we can serve you and deliver to you, the freshest local organic, seasonal foods, we thank our amazing farmers, artisans, and above all we thank you!
