whole food

whole lives

whole families

As a pioneer, leader and respected authority in the wholefoods industry, I’ve been teaching naturopaths, nutritionists, doctors and food coaches, and the general public, for over 28 years now. I’ve written five bestselling and award winning cookbooks on the subject. Amidst the plethora of confusing food and dietary information that surrounds the issue of wholesome, nourishing and healthy food, ethicality and sustainability, this is what I have found to be true.

I love a bit of kitchen thrift, and put it into ac I love a bit of kitchen thrift, and put it into action often. I’m making one of my fall back recipes here - Mexican Beans. You know,  the recipe that you can make with your eyes closed and will bend itself to what you have. 

The kitchen thrift part is starting off with bacon fat. Not only is it one of the most stable of fats for cooking ( as is pig fat in general), it’s a flavour bomb. Good bacon ( ethical, beautifully smoked etc) it’s super expensive so I like to make the most of every bit. 

In the pic I’ve got onion, purple carrots, beetroot and celery cooking in bacon fat getting a bit of caramelisation going on, before adding the black beans 🫘 ( soaked overnight with Kombu sea veg - which makes them so much more digestible), add cumin and lots of coriander root and stem chopped - cook, cover with chicken stock, add chipotle chilli for heat and smoke and cook. ( smoked paprika works well also)

Chicken stock from roast chicken on Sunday, and later add corn ( stacks of organic corn Bought dirt cheap when in season- March and April), and zucchini because my bush is still producing like nothing ( bizarre). 

I love this meal, breakfast, lunch or dinner - with avocado, my Sweet Chill Sultana Sauce and Coriander, Cumin, Honey and Lime Dressing ( both Wholefood from the Ground Up). 

This dish is FABULOUS for feeding hungry teenagers - I get so much feedback on this and last year a woman came up to me and said she raised her three teenage boys on them - in the sense of keeping starvation at bay, without breaking the budget. 

Give them a go, sweet potato 🍠 is also good instead of beetroot ( both counter the astringency of the beans). 

( ps I know I’ve not been here a lot lately- I’m head down building Wholefood Baking)

I’ve been in my new home for six years now, one I’ve been in my new home for six years now, one of the first things I did was plant a ‘glory vine’ aka ornamental grape. There’s not a lot of ‘ visible’ autumn here in Perth unless you live in the hills and I dearly wanted leaves turning colour and falling down a la Van Morrison- When the Leaves Start Falling Down.

And, the weather has been - well stunning. Cold mornings and glorious, not a cloud in the sky, sunshine to warm your bones. So yes, I did pull up a chair and drank it all in ( with a cup of tea and a book). 

I’ve been head down baking - working on my new online class Wholefood Baking ( October), cakes everywhere ! I’ve been sending them out via the community ‘Buy Nothing’ group. It’s been so lovely meeting members of my community, I love this group, such a great way to recycle. And if there was a transporter, I would beam a cake over to you!

I hope there’s some sunshine coming your way ( so good for your immune and nervous system) - perhaps a Sunday walk might just be what the doctor ordered? 🍂💕 ❤️🏡

"As a 49 year old mother of three who's come the my food journey later in life, I discovered Jude's cookbooks several years ago and have since had her as my constant companion in my kitchen and indeed my life. It's not just her incredible knowledge and understanding of food and what we eat and how we eat it that make her special, but how it is combined with her experience and wisdom and her own philosophy, not just on food but on how to live a full and well life in the busy world we all live in today."
Nicky Cooper
"Jude your courses has saved me so much time to spend with my little family on a weekly basis. I've made an effort to get to know my growers more than just buying from them at my farmers markets. My fridge is full at the start of the week with many options for tasty and nutritious meals and I've even got my husband quoting... add a little deliciousness ;) thank you for transforming my kitchen and life."
Kellie Douglas
"At the beginning of the year I felt the direction for me and my family was one of Restoration. We've been through a lot personally and part of restoring a big part of our life is to eat well. I was thinking (and praying) recently that I wished that I had a Mum or Grandmother figure come and help me in the kitchen where I can learn the skills, watch how things are done and gain knowledge and inspiration. So I really think you were the answer to my prayers.
Eileen Stead
"I need to tell you what a profound effect you have had on our family. Not only have you brought deliciousness into our home and more joy, you have taken away the fear of food. This last one is particularly important. I have been doing a lot of my own self-study the past few years; reading books, text books, listening to podcasts etc. about nutrition and food. I had become so fearful of eating. Judging everything I put into my mouth, so much was bad for me and my family. According to these experts, I had to source weird and wonderful foods from the far reaches of the globe in order to be healthy. I was exhausted and all I really wanted was a delicious lasagne (a big no-no full of bad stuff lol). Anyway, after I found you everything started falling into place. As a society, we are no long healthy. We are missing something and it's not about finding the magic fruit from the jungles of Borneo or cutting our dairy."
Lauren Elyan
"Jude's recipes are resourceful and seasonal, and she honours the natural cycles to make sure that her food is densely nutritious and in harmony with what is available at the time. I found this perspective invaluable and I use this knowledge daily to balance my meals. Watching and learning from Jude reinforced my train in nutrition and, as a Naturopath, I felt inspired to share this with my clients."
