Featured Foodies - So Beautifully Raw, Sam Murphy

By So Beautifully Raw

"Aside from eating a plant based diet, I truly believe in the power of positive ‘self-talk’ – I’m definitely not perfect and easily fall into the habits of self-criticism, negative belief systems and other downfalls of having a busy & creative human brain, but I notice that every time I begin to become more present, more aware and in-charge of my inner-dialogue I notice a huge shift in not only the way I view myself & my body, but the way I feel."

Featured Foodie - The Fit Foodie, Sally O'Neil

By Sally O'Neil

"I don’t really have rules around food, but my general approach is a lot of fresh, whole foods. Most days I eat a lot of lean protein and veggies, and plenty of healthy fats. I think I devour at least 5 avocados a week! For something extra yummy I love protein balls, dark chocolate or banana ice-cream."

Featured Foodie - A Conscious Collection, Brooke Meredith

By Brooke Meredith

"I grew up in rural Victoria, where good food was a big part of our family life. It was the center of all gatherings. From as long as I can remember I had always been in the kitchen helping mum and dad cook and prepare food, so I am extremely grateful to have learnt the fundamentals of cooking from a very young age."

Featured Foodie - Wholesome Cook, Martyna Angell

By Martyna Angell

"I was born and raised in Poland and seasonal real food was a big part of my life ever since I can remember. In summer we’d forage for wild blueberries on the way from the beach and make blueberry dumplings in late afternoon. In fall we’d get up at the crack of dawn to go wild mushroom picking then spend the best part of the evening cleaning, drying, cooking and preserving the nautre’s bounty."

I am a huge advocate for Fresh Local Produce. (Support your local!). Rain, hail, or shine, you will find me at the farmers market buying my fruit and veg for the week.

Featured Foodies - Our Holistic Kitchen, Anna & Bree

By Bree and Anna, Our Holistic Kitchen

"Our days have always evolved around food for as long as we can remember. We are those annoying people who are always eating and talking about our next meal! With Bree being a photographer and myself a designer we get excited about creating images and putting together recipes. We have been meaning to pair up for some time, but it has taken till now for us both to be based in our hometown."

Featured Foodie: Holly Shelley - Paradise Pantry

By Holly, Paradise Pantry

"I always have to have a good walk and stretching session everyday. Plenty of water and real homemade food otherwise I get grumpy. I prioritise a bit of down time in my day, whether it be taking photos, cooking something special, reading my favourite magazines, just sitting and listening to music or cuddling my puppy Blaze. You end up happier and more productive for the rest of the day when you do."

Featured Foodie: Ashley Alexander - Gather & Feast

By Ashley Alexander

"I spent a lot of my early years learning in the kitchen. Mum enjoyed teaching my brother, sister and I to cook from a young age, preparing three course meals for dinner parties by the time we were 12 (well played Mum, well played). I am very thankful for all the valuable time spent and the lessons we learnt. Mum always taught us to cook using natural and healthy ingredients and instilled in us the value of whole and organic foods. (Vegan ice­cream for the win!) Thanks Mum!"

Featured Foodies: Kathie & Jade - Panaceas Pantry

By Loving Earth

"I moved out of home at 17, not really knowing anything about cooking and without much knowledge on nutrition and unsurprisingly I quickly started to create some pretty bad eating habits and soon after my body started to suffer. When I made the connection that whatever I put into my body directly affected me so much, and thankfully after years of living with Jade who was studying nutrition at the time, I started to take an interest in my health."

Featured Foodie: Georgia McDermott - George Eats

By Loving Earth

"I need healthy food, a solid 8 hours of sleep (at least) and lots of water to function like a normal human being. I've always been very sensitive to eating badly, dehydration and lack of sleep - I cannot fathom how people pull all nighters! I know it's all very boring for a 23 year old, but I really can't be a nice person otherwise."

By Loving Earth

So often we see products in our industry advertised as ‘guilt free’, illustrating just how problematic concepts around food and health can be. What is it that inspires ‘guilt’ around what we eat?
