Eating the rainbow is not about collecting colours on your plate. It's a simple way of increasing the variety of vitamins, minerals, fibre and phytochemicals in your diet. The colours matter because different pigments often come with different health benefits, but colour alone doesn't guarantee complete nutrition.

In this podcast I am talking all things oils and taking the 'mis' out of misinformation on what oil to have in the kitchen.
 
Why our body needs lipids
The different types of fats and their chemical structure 
What fats you can cook with and why 
What fats you can not cook with and why

Last week I held a free online class and we all made a delectable snickers bar recipe which you can still catch the recording for, at time of recording this podcast, but I made a big boo boo, which caused a stir over on Instagram.
This has prompted me make a public apology and to talk about appropriate kitchen terms and also talk about some fun witchy ingredients that we use in the kitchen, quite often in fact.
In this podcast I talk about: 
How I unintentionally used a racist term in the title of my recipe 
Look at terms used in the kitchen that have changed names 
Look at some Australian ingredients and introduce you to their indigenous names 
Explore some witchy ingredients 
And share a fabulous recipe and fun cooking tip.
